A SUBJECTIVE SAFETY AND COST BASED DECISION MODEL FOR ASSESSING SAFETY REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATIONS
2001
International Journal of Reliability, Quality and Safety Engineering (IJRQSE)
In the approach fuzzy set modeling and evidential reasoning are combined to assess both the safety associated with and the cost incurred in each option of safety requirements specifications. ...
Both safety and cost estimates are combined to obtain the preference degree associated with each option of safety requirements specifications for selecting the best one. ...

Integrating Preferences into Goal Models for Requirements Engineering
2010
2010 18th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference
In this paper, we address this by extending a traditional goal modeling notation to support the representation of optional and preference requirements. ...
Requirements can differ in their importance. As such the priorities that stakeholders associate with requirements may vary from stakeholder to stakeholder and from one situation to the next. ...
CONCLUSIONS We presented a goal-based framework for modeling and reasoning about optional and preferred requirements. ...

THE SMALL-IMPROVEMENT ARGUMENT RESCUED
2010
The Philosophical Quarterly
have recently argued that the 'small-improvement argument', against completeness as a rationality requirement for preference orderings, is defective. ...
They claim that the two main premises of the argument conflict with each other, and hence should not both be accepted. I show that this conflict can be avoided by modifying one of the premises. ...
Suppose Alice has the preferences xPy ∧ yIz ∧ zPx regarding some options x, y and z, and she starts out with y. ...

Automating analysis of qualitative preferences in goal-oriented requirements engineering
2011
2011 26th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2011)
Our framework employs a model checking-based method for reasoning with qualitative preferences to identify the most preferred alternative(s). ...
It may, however, be impossible to find a design that fulfills all required goals and all optional goals. ...
In [7] , Liaskos et al. specify mandatory and optional requirements, along with preferences over optional requirements, within goal models that are similar to ours except for some additional concepts ...

Decision making with natural language based preferences and psychology-inspired heuristics
2015
Engineering applications of artificial intelligence
In this paper, we propose an automated decision making technique, which chooses an option from the set of those available based on preferences and priorities expressed in a highlevel preference language ...
Moreover, in order to make a decision, our technique goes beyond the provided preferences with psychology-inspired heuristics, which concern how humans make decisions, as provided preferences are typically ...
By construction, if no monadic preference is satisfied by an option, and one of them is associated with a requirement (or need), the PSM value of this option will indicate an unsatisfied requirement (or ...

Strategic knowledge in design: a compositional approach
1998
Knowledge-Based Systems
These levels are identified in reasoning about the manipulation of requirements and their qualifications, reasoning about the manipulation of design object descriptions and reasoning about design process ...
In this paper three levels of strategic interaction and strategic knowledge are identified within a compositional model of design. ...
Interaction with the designer is possible on, for example, preference relations between requirements, inconsistent requirements, and a preferred focus. ...

Transparent Provenance Derivation for User Decisions
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The user reasoning is simulated, and if the result of the simulation matches the documented decision, the simulation is taken to approximate the actual reasoning. ...
The plausibility of this approach requires that the simulation mirror human decisionmaking, so we adopt an automated process explicitly modelled on human psychology. ...
We are concerned with cases where the reasons for a decision are not immediately obvious as they require a choice between options with multiple attributes with pros and cons. ...

Individual differences and preference for instructional methods

Preference of Students on the Format of Options in a Multiple-Choice Test
2016
International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education (IJERE)
And lastly, the relationship between the students' preference of the arrangement of options in a multiple-choice test and the letter case options were tested using the Chi-square test. ...
The reasons were identified by the respondents for their preference. Moreover, the lower case is the more preferred letter case option than the upper case. ...

A subjective modelling tool applied to formal ship safety assessment
2000
Ocean Engineering
Subjective safety and cost assessments obtained can finally be combined to produce the preference degrees associated with the design/operation options for ranking purposes. ...
In the framework, failure events at the lowest level are modelled using fuzzy sets and safety synthesis at the different levels of a hierarchy is carried out using evidential reasoning. ...
The utility description on the safety associated with the option is assessed as "slightly preferred" with a belief of 11.1942%, as "moderately preferred" with 17.5782%, as "preferred" with 45.1996% and ...

Nudging to donate organs: do what you like or like what we do?
2021
Medicine, Health care and Philosophy
AbstractAn effective method to increase the number of potential cadaveric organ donors is to make people donors by default with the option to opt out. ...
We review three often hypothesized reasons for why defaults work and argue that the as-judged-by-themselves principle may hold only in two of these cases. ...
