Information services assist people in their decision-making during the performance of certain tasks. In order to determine if a data source, which commits to a given ontology, can be employed for a service, the service provider needs to evaluate its usability and utility for the decision-making process. We propose to do this by simulating with the ontologies the tasks to be supported by the ser...

Quantum decision theory has been successfully applied to multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) model decision-makers’ interference and superposition effects in recent years. Existing quantum models assume that among decision-makers are symmetric. However, asymmetric have ignored. We propose a VIKOR-based linguistic distribution assessments (LDAs) considering scenario. Firstly, we combin...

Decision making is a core cognitive process of human behaviour that often affected by stress. Whilst we make several decisions on daily basis, firefighters in particular are called to important split second and within life-threatening settings. Stress can therefore impact their ability perform carry out job. The implications stress similarly other settings requiring high-vigilance. In this pape...
