In this paper, a heuristic mathematical model for optimal decision-making of a Distribution Company (DisCo) is proposed that employs demand response (DR) programs in order to participate in a day-ahead market, taking into account elastic and inelastic load models. The proposed model is an extended responsive load modeling that is based on price elasticity and customers’ incentives in which they...

In recent years there has been growing attention to the epistemology of clinical decision-making, but most studies have taken the individual physicians as the central object of analysis. In this paper we argue that knowing in current medical practice has an inherently social character and that imaging plays a mediating role in these practices. We have analyzed clinical decision-making within a ...

The effectiveness of multiple UAVs at attacking the enemy target and defending against simultaneously gained researchers’ attention due to their cost efficiency high mission success rates. This paper explores UAV swarm vs. offense/defense confrontation decision-making while aircraft carriers on open seas. system is developed as a multi-agent system. Precisely, every modeled an independent agent...

Addressing the multi-criteria group decision making problem with interval attribute values and weights, this paper proposes a method based on distribution information. The selection of green suppliers is taken as an example for analysis. First, in case decision-making, quantitative evaluation attributes are imputed by decision-makers, relevant distributions constructed each attribute. Next, com...
