AHP Version 5.1 user`s manual

Watkins, J.C.; Ghan, L.S. - 2008

As decisions become more and more complex, decision makers are faced with the challenge of sorting through many variables to arrive at a sound decision. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a tool, that allows a systematic, logical approach to reducing complex issues into manageable pieces....

Experimental Results on Statistical Approaches to Page Replacement Policies

LEUNG,VITUS J.; IRANI,SANDY - 2008

previously suggested algorithms (Maximum Hitting Time and Dominating Distribution) which are based on the Markov model work well … on the trace data used in this study. Interestingly, both of these algorithms perform equally well despite the fact that … the theoretical results for these two algorithms differ dramatically. We then develop succinct characteristics of memory …

Visual Sample Plan (VSP): A Tool for Balancing Sampling Requirements Against Decision Error Risk

Pulsipher, Brent A.; Gilbert, Richard O.; Wilson, John E.; … - 2008

Environmental characterization is necessary to support remediation and monitoring decisions and to construct and validate contaminant dispersion models. The more samples obtained, the greater is the protection against making incorrect decisions. However, taking too many samples wastes valuable...

The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and the Great Lakes economy: Challenges and opportunities

Hanson, D.; Molburg, J.; Pandola, G.; Taxon, T.; Lurie, G. - 2008

This paper deals with the market for SO{sub 2} emission allowances over time and electric utility compliance choices. For currently high emitting plants ( 2.5 lb SO{sub 2}/MMBtu), the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) provide for about twice as many SO{sub 2} allowances to be issued per year...

Computer-based tools for decision support at the Hanford Site

Doctor, P.G.; Mahaffey, J.A.; Cowley, P.J.; Freshley, M.D. - 2008

To help integrate activities in the environmental restoration and waste management mission of the Hanford Site, the Hanford Integrated Planning Project (HIPP) was established and funded by the US Department of Energy. The project is divided into three key program elements, the first focusing on...

Using the National Information Infrastructure for social science, education, and informed decision making

Tonn, B.E. - 2008

The United States has aggressively embarked on the challenging task of building a National Information Infrastructure (NII). This infrastructure will have many levels, extending from the building block capital stock that composes the telecommunications system to the multitude of higher tier...

Foundations for Reasoning in Cognition-Based Computational Representations of Human Decision Making

SENGLAUB, MICHAEL E.; HARRIS, DAVID L.; RAYBOURN, ELAINE M. - 2008

In exploring the question of how humans reason in ambiguous situations or in the absence of complete information, we stumbled onto a body of knowledge that addresses issues beyond the original scope of our effort. We have begun to understand the importance that philosophy, in particular the work...
