Relational Adaptation

Relational Adaptation in Contracts, Firms, and Other Governance Structures

Economic performance depends crucially on how parties adapt to changing circumstances. We therefore study how the organization of economic activity can facilitate such adaptation. We focus on settings where spot transactions would produce inefficient adaptation, so we ask whether alternative governance structures (allocations of control) facilitate relational contracts that improve on spot adap...

A novel case adaptation method based on an improved integrated genetic algorithm for power grid wind disaster emergencies

Case adaptation is a challenging and crucial process of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) for power grid wind disaster emergencies. The statistical adaptation method is a traditional method that is independent of domain knowledge, is easy to implement, but is not proper for the complex system problem. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose a novel case adaptation method to address this problem...

Mapping Publishing and Mapping Adaptation in the Middleware of Railway Information Grid System

When adopting the mediator architecture to integrate distributed, autonomous, relational model based database sources, mappings from the source schema to the global schema may become inconsistent when the relational source schema or the global schema evolves. Without mapping adaptation, users may access no data or wrong data. In the paper, we propose a novel approach the global attribute as vie...
