Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration (MATE) for Survivability is introduced as a general methodology for survivability analysis and demonstrated through an application to a satellite radar system. MATE for Survivability applies decision theory to the parametric modeling of th...

Living in satisfying urban environments is important for an individual’s well-being. In order to create such environments, planners, designers, and policy makers need to understand the structures that cause residents to feel satisfied with their environments. This paper focuses on the perceived quality of urban residential environments: dwellings and neighborhoods. First, literature review w...

The vast majority of electronic markets have been based purely on a single variable (price) as the factor that determines ‘the winner’. Multi-attribute auctions are likely to be more appropriate for procurement scenarios where factors other than price need to be considered in determining the outcome. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of empirical research on multi-attribute electronic auctions....

This chapter addresses the problem of data gathering with multi-attribute fusion over a bandwidth and energy constrained wireless sensor network (WSN). As there are strong correlations between data gathered from sensor nodes in close physical proximity, effective in-network fusion schemes involve minimizing such redundancy and hence reducing the load in wireless sensor networks. Considering a c...

In a multi-attribute combinatorial double auction (MACDA), sellers and buyers’ preferences over multiple synergetic goods are best satisfied. In recent studies in MACDA, it is typically assumed that bidders must know the desired combination (and quantity) of items and the bundle price. They do not address a package combination which is the most desirable to a bidder. This study presents a new p...

In a Cloud Computing the data security achieved by Data Access Control Scheme. Cipher text-Policy Attribute-based Encryption (CP-ABE) is considered as one of the most suitable scheme for data access control in cloud storage. This scheme provides data owners more direct control on access policies. However, CP-ABE schemes to data access control for cloud storage systems are difficult because of t...

In this report, we first discuss the modeling context that is suitable for the multi-attribute negotiations in the Navy detailing process. Then, we present the model based on a novel negotiation protocol for automated multi-attribute negotiations. The negotiation algorithm, negotiation strategies and the mediator’s problem are included in this model. Based on the discussions in this report, we ...
