This chapter discusses integrated asset-liability management, a new management perspective that is evolving at the more innovative financial intermediaries in response to problems caused by the older functional management perspective. The older perspective calls for an organization to be structured into functional units (e.g., marketing, asset management, etc.), the decisions of which are coord...

Game-based learning environments often make use of pre-scripted scenarios to present educational and training content. However, a one-size-fits-all scenario may not address all of the abilities, needs, or goals of a particular learner. This paper presents a methodology for automatically adapting a game scenario to better suit such requirements. We describe initial steps toward an intelligent te...

This paper critically assesses a series of scenario planning exercises in the Washington Metropolitan region and the State of Maryland within a broad and evolving framework of participatory planning. Reality Check, as the exercises were called, were a daylong set of activities using tools that encouraged stakeholder participation to develop scenarios focused on long-term regional sustainability...

Based on the reasoned action and the differential association theories, a model is derived to explore the effects of individual and peer beliefs on software copyright infringements in Saudi Arabia. This study presents empirical evidence about this developing country on the impact of beliefs on behavior regarding ethical issues that can arise as a result of ethical dilemmas, in a culture that is...

Generating plans in real world environments by mobile robot planner is a challenging task due to the uncertainty and environment dynamics. Therefore, task-planning should take in its consideration these issues when generating plans. Semantic knowledge field has been planned as a source of information for deriving implicit information and generating semantic procedure. This paper extend the Sema...

In this paper we extend the notion of contentbased addressing with a programmable forwarding scheme which yields a powerful programming construct for expressing scenario specific routing and multicasting. We demonstrate the expressive power of this construct through examples of over-the-air code dissemination and composition of heterogeneous services and communication between them. Furthermore,...
