The cost and schedule required to design and develop modern computer based systems has grown dramatically over the past decade. Advanced system engineering development methods and automation techniques are required to manage the complexity inherent in the design of large complex computer based systems to provide an efficient means for evaluating various requirements options. OML is an approach,...

The Basel II Accord pointed out benefits of credit risk management through internal models to estimate Probability of Default (PD). Banks use default predictions to estimate the loan applicants’ PD. However, in practice, PD is not useful and banks applied credit scorecards for their decision making process. Also the competitive pressures in lending industry forced banks to use profit scorecards...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) cannot provide adequate discrimination among efficient decision making units (DMUs). To discriminate these efficient DMUs is an interesting research subject. The purpose of this paper is to develop the mix integer linear model which was proposed by Foroughi (Foroughi A.A. A new mixed integer linear model for selecting the best decision making units in data envelo...

We provide an overview of research on computational models of analogy-making. The survey ranges from a fairly basic introduction to the topic of computational analogy-making to reporting some quite recent advanced results concerning the study of these systems, their properties and particularities. When doing so, we mainly take a cognitive modeling and computer sciences inspired point of view, m...
