The Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) framework can be used to model a wide range of optimization problems that are inherently distributed. A distributed optimization problem can be viewed as a problem distributed over a set of agents, where agent ...
Departure time choice modeling has been part of main stream travel behavior research for more than three decades. Congestion management schemes are based on the assumption that travelers optimize their departure time choice. Ever since Vickrey, in the late ...
Marginal utility theory prescribes the relationship between the objective property of the magnitude of rewards and their subjective value. Despite its pervasive influence, however, there is remarkably little direct empirical evidence for such a theory of v ...
More and more companies address collaborations and cooperation as strategic topics to build competitive networks and broaden the global competences provided by the community thus created. These companies can cooperate with partners to share resources, comp ...
This article describes a bounding approximation scheme for convex multistage stochastic programs (MSP) that constrain the conditional expectation of some decision-dependent random variables. Expected value constraints of this type are useful for modelling ...
Crowding occurs when nearby flankers impede the identification of a peripheral stimulus. Here, we studied whether crowded features containing inaccessible emotional information can nevertheless affect preference judgments. We relied on gaze-contingent crow ...
Preference-based search (PBS) is a popular approach for helping consumers find their desired items from online catalogs. Currently most PBS tools generate search results by a certain set of criteria based on preferences elicited from the current user durin ...

We integrate latent attitudes of individuals into a mode choice model through latent variable and latent class models with the help of psychometric indicators that enable us to measure these attitudes. The aim of the inclusion of attitudes is to better und ...
Recent neurophysiological studies reveal that risk and reward are separately encoded in the human brain, and that the encodings display different timing patterns. Therefore, we hypothesized that sensitivity of trading decisions to risk and reward parameter ...
The internet provides an unprecedented variety of opportunities to people. Whether looking for a place to go on vacation, an apartment to rent, or a PC to buy, the potential customer is faced with countless possibilities. Most people have difficulty findin ...
