Abstract:
The textbook contains current types of problems of choosing the best solutions for many criteria used in modeling supply chains. To solve the problems, methods and models are presented, including traditional and special approaches to multi-criteria optimization of solutions. Special attention is paid to additional opportunities for improving such approaches to improve decision optimization procedures in supply chain modeling, and the possibilities of alternative filtering procedures are considered. Special procedures are presented to eliminate the phenomena of inadequate choice and effectively

Abstract:
Computational Interaction enables a future in which user interfaces (UI) learn about people’s behaviours by observing them and interacting with them to help people to be productive, comfortable, healthy, and safe. However, this requires technology that can accurately model people’s behaviours. This chapter focuses on human routine behaviours enacted by people as sequences of actions performed in specific situations, i.e. behaviour instances, and presents a probabilistic, generative model of human routine behaviours that can describe, reason about, and act in response to people’s behaviours.

Abstract:
Gamers are not a monolithic group; gaming preferences and motivations vary in important ways among gamers. An empirical, validated model of gaming motivations provides a crucial methodological bridge between player preferences and their in-game behaviours, and, more importantly, engagement and retention outcomes. Instead of simply seeing on a key performance indicator dashboard that a certain percentage of gamers are leaving, a motivation model allows us to pinpoint why those gamers are leaving.

Abstract:
This chapter adapts the dynamic model of multiparty competition to take into account the possibility that party leaders take their own preferences into account when they set party policy. If they do this, they must make trade-offs between satisfying their private policy preferences and some other objective, whether this is maximizing party vote share or pleasing current party supporters. Models that specify such trade-offs have often been found intractable using traditional analytical techniques. However, they are straightforward to specify and analyze using computational agent-based modeling,

Then, it explains the main preference elicitation techniques (visual analog scale, time trade-off, and standard gamble).

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the reader to future discounting and some received wisdom. The received wisdom about rational planning tends to assume that it is irrational to have near‐biased preferences (i.e., preferences for lesser goods now compared to greater goods further in the future).Thechapter describes these preferences by introducing the reader to value functions. Value functions are then used to model different kinds of distant future temporal discounting (e.g., hyperbolic, exponential, absolute). Finally, the chapter makes a distinction between temporal discounting and risk discounting.

With a social welfare function, social preferences depend on individual well-beings. These well-beings are expressed in terms of either preferences or utilities. Three main approaches are considered: Bergson-Samuelson social welfare functions, Arrovian social welfare functions, and Sen’s social welfare functionals.

Filling an important gap in design history, Another Modernism examines how domestic space was conceived by the US home economics movement in the first half of the 20th century. In doing so, it tells the story of how home economists—mainly women—developed design that challenged the traditional architecture of American farm communities and countered the approach of modernist architects. Uncovering unacknowledged contributions of women to domestic architecture and design history, it reveals early instances of participation, sustainability, and accommodating the disabled body in domestic design.

In this chapter, we discuss the organization of markets for publicly financed services, inspired by the model of the ‘perfect market’, with the Swedish eldercare sector as our example.

In trying to imitate the perfect market as closely as possible, regardless of the preferences of buyers and sellers, market organizers emphasized simplified and, most notably, comparable information.

The respect of a patient’s autonomous rights within the model of patient-centred care has led to shared decision-making, rather than more paternalistic care. Understanding patient needs, preferences, and lifestyle choices are central to developing shared treatment decisions.
