Automatic route search in telecommunication networks will be very important in future. Numerous technical and economic aspects have to be considered when choosing a route in a transport network. Fuzzy rule bases offer an excellent opportunity to take all essential aspects into account when evaluating possible routes. A shortest route strategy for transport networks is presented, which is based ...

Modern models of event extraction for tasks like ACE are based on supervised learning of events from small hand-labeled data. However, hand-labeled training data is expensive to produce, in low coverage of event types, and limited in size, which makes supervised methods hard to extract large scale of events for knowledge base population. To solve the data labeling problem, we propose to automat...

Behavioral economics is based on the idea that individuals' decisions are affected by systematic and predictable cognitive biases and that these same biases can be leveraged to change behavior and improve decision-making. Insights from behavioral economics have been used to encourage a range of desired behaviors but have rarely been used in disaster preparedness and response, though traditional...

Many poor countries remain trapped in a cycle of poverty and environmental degradation. Understanding how people react to existing and proposed solutions most likely can be improved using the methods of experimental economics. Experiments provide researchers a method to test theory, look for patterns of behavior, testbed economic institutions and incentives, and to educate people. Herein we exp...

In the current technology-oriented and knowledge-based economy, effective teaching of economics requires frequent curricular revisions to offer new and timely courses to fulfil industry needs. In addition, teaching methodologies should be designed in a way that enhances learning processes. This paper examines the curriculum development in economics at Multimedia University, the first private un...

Polly Hill spent her long, productive, and at times controversial career crossing contesting disciplinary boundaries. She graduated in economics Cambridge, but doctorate was social anthropology—with economist Joan Robinson as dissertation supervisor. Her thirteen years the University of Ghana were initially economics, then African studies, readership Cambridge Commonwealth studies. As a woman s...

| In this paper we propose some design guidelines for the implementation of a library for computer aided modelling and analysis in economics. We base our approach in object-oriented programming. We also introduce a prototype implementation, where a set of algorithms and data structures appropriated for economic modelling is supplied.
