Philosophers have argued that people ought to change their graded beliefs via Bayes’ rule. Recent work in psychology indicates sometimes violate rule by attending explanatory factors. Results from computational modeling suggest such violations may actually be rational.

The libraries at both Wichita State University and Butler Community College recently implemented new content management systems to create and manage library subject guides. These systems allow library staff to create online resources for instruction and library information quickly, and with no coding knowledge required. Both libraries chose a different option from many content management system...

Autonomic computing systems are self-managed systems without the need of human intervention. It is an analogy of the autonomic nervous system in nature. In an autonomic computing system the human operator takes a new rule, instead of controlling the system he just guides the system and devises rules for self-managing system. Every aspect of human life is automated and this makes everyday tasks ...

In multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), a proper selection of local guides significantly influences detection of non-dominated solutions in the objective/solution space and, hence, the convergence characteristics towards the Pareto-optimal set. This paper presents an algorithm based on simple heuristics for selection of local guides in MOPSO, named as HSG-MOPSO (Heuristics-based...

These two methodologies are centred on learning processes that directly involve working personnel. The stress laid on workers does not mean that the rest of the organisation is left aside. Middle managers are essential in operating the model. They have to learn how to train workers and follow up the improvement proposals that may be made. Some studies have shown that learning on the job may be ...
