AUGMENT GROUP DECISION MAKING Davide Valeriani, Caterina Cinel and Riccardo Poli Aims In the recent years, collaborative Brain-Computer Interfaces (cBCIs) have shown the potential to be used in the context of neuroergonomics to augment human performance, for example in decision making. This study proposes an innovative hybrid cBCI to augment group performance in decision making. Methods The pro...

BACKGROUND The ideal timing of surgical management for hip fractures remains controversial. Currently, individual surgeon preference and departmental resources guide decision making regarding the use of emergency or planned operating lists for hip fracture surgery. We evaluated patient preference for emergency or planned surgery. METHODS 102 patients awaiting surgery for a hip fracture at a t...

Evaluating alignments for a transportation corridor is a complex process that involves many decision makers and stakeholders. Capturing input about important considerations is vital to the process of alignment selection and is an iterative process. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) provides a systematic methodology to compare, select, and rank multiple alternatives using disparate data sour...

Abstract. The most popular models of decision making use a single criterion to evaluate projects or lotteries. However, decision makers may actually consider multiple criteria when evaluating projects. We consider a dual criteria model from psychology. This model integrates the familiar tradeoffs between risk and utility that economists traditionally assume, allowance for rank-dependent decisio...

In order to survive in today's competitive world, organizations are looking to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. Therefore, they should focus on inputs that are more important than the rest of the inputs in their success. This paper aimed at ranking 7Ms (Management, Man power, Marketing, Material, Machinery, Methods and Money) and their sub-criteria of production in Iran. By improvin...

This paper is devoted to sequential decision making with Rank Dependent expected Utility (RDU). criterion generalizes Expected and enables model a wider range of observed (rational) behaviors. In such setting, two conflicting objectives can be identified in the assessment strategy: maximizing performance viewed from initial state (optimality), minimizing incentive deviate during implementation ...

Several methods have been proposed for ranking the decision-making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA) with imprecise data. Some methods have only used the upper bound efficiencies to rank DMUs. However, some other methods have considered both of the lower and upper bound efficiencies to rank DMUs. The current paper shows that these methods did not consider the DEA axioms and may be...

today, the benefits of organizations cannot be achieved by one organization alone, because the organizations are trying to make their business focus on core competence, and they outsourcing other activities to other organizations. iranian organizations have long spoken of it outsourcing is a form of serious issues; so managers need to increase their knowledge and techniques in the field of it o...
