Modeling Risk-Benefit Assumptions in Technology Substitution
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the application of comparative simulation models to reason about the economic risks and benefits of adopting new methods and tools for software development. It addresses three questions: (i) can technology substitution be modeled with sufficient confidence? (ii) what modeling strategy is most appropriate? and (iii) what are the outcomes of modeling technology substitution on an industrial case study? The end goal is to develop models that support economic evaluations that are necessary and sufficient to support technology substitution decisions. Such models will help developers and managers to assess the value of a new technology and employ strategies to de-risk its adoption.

Investigating carbon emission abatement long-term plan with the aim of energy system modeling; case study of Iran
Increasing electric vehicles usage, as a promising solution for environmental issues, might have unexpected implications, since it entails some changes in different sectors and scales in energy system. In this respect, this research aims at investigating the long-term impacts of electric vehicles deployment on Iran's energy system. Accordingly, Iran's energy system was analyzed by LEAP model in...
متن کاملStress Transfer Modeling in CNT Reinforced Composites using Continuum Mechanics (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Because of the substantial difference in stiffness between matrix and nanotube in CNT composite, the stress transfer between them controls their mechanical properties. This paper investigates the said issue, analytically and numerically, in axial load using representative volume element (RVE). The analytical model was established based on the modified Cox’s shear lag model with the use of some ...
متن کاملA risk adjusted self-starting Bernoulli CUSUM control chart with dynamic probability control limits
Usually, in monitoring schemes the nominal value of the process parameter is assumed known. However, this assumption is violated owing to costly sampling and lack of data particularly in healthcare systems. On the other hand, applying a fixed control limit for the risk-adjusted Bernoulli chart causes to a variable in-control average run length performance for patient populations with dissimilar...

Iranian offshore oil and gas platforms are mostly located in the Persian Gulf. Technical and environmental challenges resulted from an off-design running condition of processes on a platform are important issues. The weakness of strategies to stop or decrease the amount of greenhouse gas emission production rate in the Persian Gulf; which is intensively increasing, is another matter of concern....
متن کاملAdvancing safer alternatives through functional substitution.
To achieve the ultimate goal of sustainable chemicals management policy–the transition to safer chemicals, materials, products, and processes–current chemicals management approaches could benefit from a broader perspective. Starting with considerations of function, rather than characterizing and managing risks associated with a particular chemical, may provide a different, solutions-oriented le...
