In the United States federal court system, from a procedural standpoint, it has been historic policy that appeals to Courts of Appeal lie only final decisions by district courts. This policy, dubbed judgment rule, is designed prevent piecemeal approach appellate practice, and enhance efficiency fairness. Applied overly strictly, rule can often lead unfair results, even irreparable harm. article...

Issues characterizing cloud computing such as security, interoperability, and vendor lock-in are likely to act as inhibitors of the widespread adoption of cloud computing in organizations. These issues call for relational and contractual mechanisms to articulate the desired outcomes of service provisioning and acceptable behavior of service recipients and providers. In this paper we focus on th...

Big data is a key concept that cannot be overlooked in the IT world considering the prominent increase in data, and data related services, it is important to explore this field and look at ways to improve data service delivery especially in the cloud. Cloud computing on the other hand helps in tackling the issue of storage and data service. This research focus on the two key concept big data an...

Development economists have superseded any necessity of using Arrow’s methodological individualism (MI) in focusing on cross-cultural, cross-national, or developmental economics. This study examines whether analysis of cross-cultural economic models might include a concept of economic generosity as a type of economic structuration that deviates from MI principles and is closer to what economist...

credit scoring is a classification problem leading to introducing numerous techniques to deal with it such as support vector machines, neural networks and rule-based classifiers. rule bases are the top priority in credit decision making because of their ability to explicitly distinguish between good and bad applicants.in a credit- scoring context, imbalanced data sets frequently occur as the nu...

In this paper selected logical foundations for design of reliable and efficient rule-based systems are investigated. The problems of logical analysis of theoretical properties of rule-based systems are considered. It is proposed to replace the verification of selected properties by assuring quality and reliability during the design stage of rule-based systems. Three basic properties, i.e. compl...

The purpose of this paper is to extend verification tests to systems with multiple autonomous agent knowledge bases. Using a classic approach to verification, this paper focuses on tests concerned with consistency, completeness and correctness. In particular, this paper focuses on those unique issues that are generated as we go from single agent systems to multiple agent systems. This paper is ...
