The computational modeling of face-to-face interactions using nonverbal behavioral cues is an emerging and relevant problem in social computing. In the thesis, we have investigated individual social constructs in small groups such as dominance and status ( ...
Stochastic programming and robust optimization are disciplines concerned with optimal decision-making under uncertainty over time. Traditional models and solution algorithms have been tailored to problems where the order in which the uncertainties unfold i ...
Companies actively seek to appoint outside CEOs to their boards. Consistent with our matching theory of outside CEO board appointments, we show that such appointments have a certification benefit for the appointing firm. CEOs are more likely to join boards ...
The potential of agent-based modeling (ABM) has been demonstrated in various research fields. However, three major concerns limit the full exploitation of ABM; (i) agents are too simple and behave unrealistically without any empirical basis, (ii) 'proof of ...
The main goal of the 3rd Rhône Correction project in Switzerland is to improve the flood protection in the Upper Rhone River basin. In this framework, the MINERVE project contributes to the flow control during flood events by preventive turbine and bottom ...
The main goal of the 3(rd) Rhone Correction project is to improve the flood protection in the Upper Rhone River basin. In this context, the MINERVE project aims contributing to a better flow control during flood events, taking advantage from the multireser ...
Supply chains (SC) are complex systems in which human beings play a key role. Whereas human impact is often taken into account in simulation models in terms of physical flows (material handling, fabrication), it is far less the case in terms of information ...
The simulation of run-off in alpine catchment areas is an important issue for the optimal operation of hydropower plants for normal flow conditions, but also during flood events. A semi-lumped numerical approach combines hydrological modelling and operatio ...
Making the best choice when faced with a chain of decisions requires a person to judge both anticipated outcomes and future actions. Although economic decision-making models account for both risk and reward in single-choice contexts, there is a dearth of s ...
The availability of mobile sociometric sensors allows Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) designers the possibility to enhance online meeting support through automatic recognition of conversational context. This paper addresses the task of discrimin ...
