Abstract Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to review a sample of the literature relating to Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) and its deployment for modelling purposes in the area of supply chain management (SCM). Design/methodology/approach- The literature is examined from the three perspectives. First, concept of ISM and examines ISM as modelling technique. Second, use of ISM by ...

The main purpose of this paper is to study the future prospects of online banking in Morocco, based on the technology acceptance model, by examining the intention of the Moroccan customers to adopt online banking and the factors that influence it. The questionnaire used in this study was distributed to 300 Moroccan banks’ customers, and the data gathered were then analysed using structural equa...

The pursuit of a viable model of player behaviour has gained momentum in research in recent years, and it is beginning to attract the attention of the designers of next-generation digital games. In this paper, we present a novel enhancement to player modelling that is well-suited to the digital roleplaying and puzzle game industries, titled Goal-DirectedPlayer Modelling, in which state abstract...

A key area in the research agenda of modelling argumentation is to accurately model argumentation on the social web. In this paper we propose additional extensions to our ontology for argumentation on the social web (which integrates elements of the Argument Interchange Format and the Semantically Interlinked Online Communities project) for the purposes of modelling social and rhetorical tactic...

Modelling Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFC) is very difficult and the existing models are too complicated to be used for controlling design, especially for on-line control design. This paper presents the application of neural networks identification method to develop the nonlinear temperature model of MCFC stack. The hidden layer units of the neural networks consist of a set of nonlinear radia...
