In this paper I study a dynamic game between a principal, who has to take a decision every period, and an informed agent whose preferences over the decision are his private information. The decision maker cannot decide on the employment status of the agent but she has access to a costly monitoring technology that (potentially) allows her to learn whether the agent has revealed his information t...

This paper applies a new multi attribute decision-making (MADM) model to help companies for enterprise resource planning (ERP) selection problem based on Balanced Score Card method. This paper uses three-parameter interval grey numbers which is derived from Grey theory (was proposed by J. Deng). This numbers is used instead of linguistic variables. Beside, a new weighting method that outcomes f...

According to a common view among Muslim philosophers, a moral agent has free will if and only if she is able to do an action when she wants to and is able to avoid it when she wants otherwise. Implicit in this view is the Principle of Alternative Possibilities (PAP). On the other hand, according to this view, free will is dependent on requirements such as conception, judgement, tendency, decisi...

The exponential bound parameter is numerically ‘Odes using Outputs ‘Om a quantized is bounded by: evaluated for 16-zone quantized 8-PSK for signal vectors bisecting For decision regions of equal span, signal vectors lying on decision boundaries are superior, confirming the result of Parsons and Wilson. Signal vectors bisecting decision regions are superior if provided that RO > R. is the length...

In this paper, I will describe examples of state-of-the-art practice in supply-chain management; e.g., vendor-managed inventory, quick response, and other contemporary systems, such as Wal-Mart’s RetailLink. The perspective will be that of what I call the IDIB Portfolio; i.e., what Information (I), Decision-Making (D), Implementation (I), and Buffer (B) systems are employed in managing real-wor...

To perform rat ional decision-making, autonomous agents need considerable computat ional resources. In mult i-agent settings, when other agents are present in the environment, these demands are even more severe. We investigate ways in which the agent's knowledge and the results of deliberative decision-making can be compiled to reduce the complexity of decision-making procedures and to save t i...

We show that combinations of optimal (stationary) policies in unichain Markov decision processes are optimal. That is, let M be a unichain Markov decision process with state space S, action space A and policies π◦ j : S → A (1 ≤ j ≤ n) with optimal average infinite horizon reward. Then any combination π of these policies, where for each state i ∈ S there is a j such that π(i) = π◦ j (i), is opt...
