We welcome the IEO’s evaluation of this critical issue, which contains interesting analysis and information, and look forward to implementing recommendations that are endorsed by the Board. In particular, we welcome the finding that the Fund’s image has improved markedly since the crisis, and we recognize the need for further work to build on this. However, we found that the tone of the report ...

This paper examines some questions concerning commercial computer security integrity policies. We give an example of a dynamic separation of duty policy which cannot be implemented by TCSEC based mechanisms alone, yet occurs in the real commercial world, and can be implemented efficiently in practice. We examine and describe a commercial computer security product in wide use for ensuring the in...

Everyday memory performance was examined longitudinally in 2 groups of Ss meeting the diagnostic criteria for age-associated memory impairment (AAMI). One group of 157 participants in a drug trial for reversing memory loss in AAMI was tested over multiple sessions. The other group of 75 persons did not participate in a drug trial and thus was tested only twice. Both groups were retested for lon...

For grey stochastic multi-criteria decision-making problem with criterion value as extended grey number, the study proposes grey stochastic multi-criteria decision-making approach based on Hausdorff distance. First, it provides definition and operation rule of extended grey number stochastic variable and expectation, then obtains expectation decision matrix about grey number based on grey decis...

In this paper, we present evaluations of learning algorithms for a novel rule evaluation support method in data mining post-processing, which is one of the key processes in a data mining process. It is difficult for human experts to evaluate many thousands of rules from a large dataset with noises completely. To reduce the costs of rule evaluation task, we have developed the rule evaluation sup...

In this paper, we apply a consensus model to decision-making in committees that have to choose one or more alternatives from a set of alternatives. The model does not use a voting rule nor a set of winning coalitions. Every decision maker evaluates each alternative with respect to given criteria. The criteria may be of unequal importance to a decision maker. Decision makers may be advised by a ...
