A group decision problem is set in environments where there is a common issue to solve, a set of possible options to choose, and a set of individuals who are experts and express their opinions about the set of possible ...

Despite much research on machine translation (MT) evaluation, there is surprisingly little work that directly measures users' intuitive or emotional preferences regarding different types of MT errors. However, the elicitation ...

Brazilian pork supply chain has various challenges reflected by the consumers' preference perception, which is one of the lowest in the Western world. Several researches have shown that there is a divergence between consumer ...

In this work, we propose some two-layer preference models that can be appropriately applied in management problems such as the group decision making about predicting the future market share of certain product. By introducing ...

This paper presents new insights and novel algorithms for strategy selection in sequential decision making with partially ordered preferences; that is, where some strategies may be incomparable with respect to expected ...

In the usual framework of continuum games with externalities, we substantially generalize Coumot-Nash existence results [Balder, A unifying approach to existence of Nash equilibria, Int. J.Game Theory 24 (1995) 79-94; On ...

The harvester ant Pogonomyrmex mendozanus is endemic to the central Monte desert. In this region, extensive grazing reduces grass cover and seed abundance in the soil bank. In previous studies carried out in ungrazed areas, ...

Nowadays, the representation and the treatment of color images are still open problems. Mathematical morphology is the natural area for a rigorous formulation of many problems in image analysis. Moreover, it comprises ...
