Abstract This article proposes a governance approach for the prioritization of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in city Medellín (Colombia, South America). The proposed this study stems from articulation technical and participatory approaches. took as reference document CONPES 3918, which defines national agenda Colombia. was supported by Citizen Perception Survey, reflects most important a...

Information technology (IT) allows for large-scale data collection and data analysis, e.g. through logs of user behavior and online surveys. While the issue of structured access to data is extremely important, previous research has not sufficiently emphasized design of data export for research purposes. If researchers are to make their data accessible, they must be empowered to export data in a...

In this paper we investigate a choice behavior that recognizes the intrinsic value of opportunities for choice. Nonconsequentialism is a choice attitude toward outcomes and opportunities and prioritizes opportunities for choice rather than outcomes. It is possible to define various types of nonconsequentialism in terms of criteria for ranking opportunity sets. We consider the leximax ordering o...

Person-centred care is becoming a key component of quality in health systems worldwide. Although the term can mean different things, it typically entails paying attention to the needs and background of health system users, involving them in decisions that affect their health, assessing their care goals and implementing a coordinated plan of care that aligns with their unique circumstances. The ...

Test case selection and prioritization are well studied and understood regression testing techniques. Equally, test case generation is an active research area. Yet the combination of these techniques remains largely unexplored. This paper proposes to use a multi objective approach to combine a test case generation technique, the Classification Tree Method, with a test case selection and priorit...

Search-based software testing uses random or directed search techniques to address problems. This paper discusses on test case selection and prioritization by combining genetic and clustering algorithms. Test cases have been generated using genetic algorithm and the prioritization is performed using group-wise clustering algorithm by assigning priorities to the generated test cases thereby redu...

Owing to resource constraints, the existing prioritization and selection techniques for software security requirements (countermeasures) find a subset of higher-priority security requirements ignoring lowerpriority requirements or postponing them to the future releases. Ignoring or postponing security requirements however, may on one hand leave some of the security threats (vulnerabilities) una...

Goals play an important role in human cognition. Different aspects of human mind influence the generation of goals they pursue, and the goals guide their behaviors. In psychology, researchers made significant efforts to study goals and their origin, and cognitive architectures include various facilities to handle goals of artificial agents. One such architecture, ICARUS, supports goal-driven be...

Motivated control refers to the coordination of behaviour to achieve affectively valenced outcomes or goals. The study of motivated control traditionally assumes a distinction between control and motivational processes, which map to distinct (dorsolateral versus ventromedial) brain systems. However, the respective roles and interactions between these processes remain controversial. We offer a n...
