Early-stage decision making approach for the selection of optimally integrated biorefinery processes

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Shivom Sharma, Ayse Dilan Celebi

Lignocellulosic biorefineries are the best non-petroleum alternatives for a sustainable development. In the biorefinery process design, it is important to implement an algorithm that allows systematic generation, evaluation of energy conversion chains and ...

A two-stage model of decision making

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

The drift diffusion model (Ratcliff, 1978) is widely used to model binary decision-making. In this model, evidence for the two alternatives is integrated over time until it hits a decision boundary leading to a reaction. The drift diffusion model fits many ...

Toward a polycentric low-carbon transition: the roles of community-based energy initiatives in enhancing the resilience of energy systems

Thomas Jean F Bauwens

An understanding of the resilience of energy systems is critical in order to tackle forthcoming challenges. This chapter proposes that the polycentric governance perspective, developed by Vincent and Elinor Ostrom, may be highly relevant in formulating pol ...

Measurement system design for leak detection in hydraulic pressurized networks

Ian Smith, Gaudenz Moser

This paper compares four sensor placement strategies which differ according to their evaluation criteria (EC). The first involves the minimisation of the expected number of candidate models, and the second is based on maximising joint entropy. The first me ...

Towards an Integrated Sustainability Assessment of Biorefineries

Edgard Gnansounou, Daniel Tuazon

The sustainability of biofuel operations encompasses several issues which are key to promoting uptake in a global environment. However, much of the analysis of biofuel production tends to be dominated by life cycle assessment (LCA) for assessing environmen ...

Information Structure Design in Team Decision Problems

Maryam Kamgarpour, Tyler Summers

We consider a problem of information structure design in team decision problems and team games. We propose simple, scalable greedy algorithms for adding a set of extra information links to optimize team performance and resilience to non-cooperative and adv ...

Combining Multiple Views for Visual Speech Recognition

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Hazim Kemal Ekenel, Marina Zimmermann, Mostafa Mehdipour Ghazi

Visual speech recognition is a challenging research problem with a particular practical application of aiding audio speech recognition in noisy scenarios. Multiple camera setups can be beneficial for the visual speech recognition systems in terms of improv ...

When stakeholders cannot be involved in a modelling process: Integrating participatory modelling and consultative approaches

Franziska Meinherz

Diverse authors defend the idea that stakeholders’ involvement is of crucial importance in most decision-making processes. Adequate selection and involvement of the actors of a given social system is a key issue to increase understanding of the problem, an ...

Asteroid Deflection Campaign Design Integrating Epistemic Uncertainties

Patricia Egger, Sung Wook Paek

Asteroid deflection entails multiple sources of epistemic uncertainties and stochastic uncertainties. Epistemic uncertainties can be reduced by replenishing incomplete information with a better means of observation, whereas stochastic uncertainties are inh ...
