In this paper we introduce a generic approach to analyze system design models with regard to the satisfaction of their Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) to enable the evaluation of their NFRs’ trade-offs. NFRs and their satisfaction become especially critical and deserve more attention in certain application domains such as real-time and embedded systems. This is mainly due to the constraints ...

Time-cost trade-off is one of the most important subjects in project management and of interest to contractors. The goal of time-cost trade-off is sensivity analysis of project costs to changes in activity duration in order to obtain the best combination of activity duration decrease, in a way that the sum of project costs is minimized. In the heuristics presented in this area, time crashing is...

The analysis of trade-offs between competitive priorities is one of the core issues in manufacturing strategy research. However, past studies focused mainly on empirical validation of the trade-off concept. There has been limited research on practical aspects of trade-off management, especially methods for trade-off improvement and the incorporation of trade-off analysis into manufacturing stra...

This article analyses the conflict between trade values and other values ('trade and ... problems'), such as environmental protection, labour rights or free competition, as It Is addressed by the principal legal devices available to address such conflicts ('trade-off devices') In the dispute resolution context In the European Union, the GATT/World Trade Organization system and In the United Sta...

The aim of this empirical study is to explore the trade-off model and pecking order model of capital structure. The investigation is performed using panel data procedures for a sample of 76 firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during 2007-2010.The study employs OLS regression model in examining the capital structure of firms in Iran. The study employs variables reflecting differing theoretical...

An important non-classical feature of quantum measurements is the celebrated uncertainty trade-off, namely that the uncertainties in the outcomes of measurements performed on distinct yet identically prepared ensembles of systems cannot all be made arbitrarily small. Recently, we have shown that quantum measurements also exhibit another non-classical feature of disturbance trade-off namely, tha...
