The Role Of Domain Expertise And Judgment In Dealing With Unexpected Events
Unexpected events, particularly those creating surprise, interrupt ongoing mental and behavioral processes, creating an increased potential for unwanted outcomes to the situation. Human reactions to unexpected events vary. One can hypothesize a number of reasons for this variation, including level …

An Integrated Interregional Input -Output and Transportation Network Model for Assessing Economic Impacts of Unexpected Events
… for assessing the economic impacts from an unexpected event. The Integrated Commodity Flow Model (ICFM) integrates a transportation network model with a regional input-output model. The model simultaneously forecasts commodity flow generation, distribution, mode choice, and assignment in a …

The Effect of Culture on Decision Making Behaviour in the Management of Risk Inherent In Unexpected Events Occurring During the Implementation of Construction Projects in the MENA
… during the management of inherent risk in the unexpected events that occur during the implementation of construction projects in MENA (KSA, UAE and Egypt).<br/><br/>More specifically, the study attempted to identify the effect of the cultural factors (Uncertainty Avoidance, Power Distance, …

Modelling the NBA to make better predictions
Unexpected events often occur in the world of sports. In my thesis, I present work that models the NBA. My goal was to build a model of the NBA Machine Learning and other statistical tools in order to better make predictions and quantify unexpected events. In my thesis, I first review other …

Falls risk and driving performance in older adults
… assessments in which they responded quickly to unexpected events (e.g. a pedestrian stepping into the road) in a high fidelity driving simulator. High falls risk drivers had slower response times (~2.1 seconds) to unexpected events compared to low falls risk drivers (~1.7 seconds). Furthermore, …

End-to-end Learning for Robust Decision Making
… data, to the algorithms to reliably adapt to unexpected events during deployment. We start by exploring how we can computationally design rich, synthetic environments capable of simulating a continuum of hard to collect, out-of-distribution edge-cases, amenable for use during both training and …

Analysis of algorithms to create profitable trades in the stock market
… strategy must be robust and be able to handle unexpected events. This paper analyzes algorithms that are based on human psychology instead of just looking for patterns in the data. It also attempts to find optimal parameters for the algorithms and see if their performance will persist in the …

A unified methodology for the management of time-dependent information in aeronautical systems
… latency in the decision maker detecting unexpected events. Derivative or intent information is shown to effect the required update rate by changing the rate at which the expected error grows. A cooperative information management environment is shown to reduce the required update rate by …

Multi-agent opportunism
… domain need to be capable of dealing with the unexpected events that will occur as they carry out their tasks. While unexpected events are often related to failures in an agent's plan, or inaccurate knowledge in an agent's memory, they can also be opportunities for the agent. For example, an …

Random Keys Genetic Algorithms Scheduling and Rescheduling Systems for Common Production Systems
… breakdowns, urgent jobs, and other unplanned events may render the schedule suboptimal, obsolete or even infeasible resulting in a "rescheduling" problem, which is typically also addressed for a specific production environment, constraints, and objective functions.</p> <p>This dissertation …

The Radio Frequency Identification enabled logistics process for supply chain event management from China to the United States via Hong Kong
… product- handling productivity, and unmanageable unexpected events. Research was conducted using results from both interviews and surveys to collect information about the current process. This thesis also proposes the use of RFID-enabled logistics to improve the current processes and discusses the …

Application of the Design Structure Matrix (DSM) to the real estate development process using modular construction methods
… reflect feedback loops that occur because of unexpected events. Our thesis has focused on proposing proactive solutions to the unexpected events (referred to as "failure modes") a RED process using MCM can face, by either eliminating them or minimizing their likelihood and impact. The DSM …

Savings and shock-coping behavior in South Africa's metropolitan townships
… people periodically face a variety of "shocks", events that can be overwhelming, like ill-health or death of a family member (sometimes the breadwinner), or natural disasters causing loss of home or crop. By providing them with means to save anywhere, anytime they have a chance to mitigate shocks …
