In an agent-based simulation, a plausible decision in a specific context cannot stay be valid in the face of the changing situation. Therefore, the result of the decision making process is mostly related to the agent's situational awareness and its adaptation to the new context and situation of the environment. A sound estimation of the situation requires a clean understanding of the operational domain, not only the data taken from sensors. In this paper, it is aimed to improve decision making by increasing the situational awareness of an agent by incorporating the decision making mechanism with the prior knowledge about the problem domain, such as the existing rules. Specifically, an existing adaptive decision making architecture, which is based on the deliberative coherence theory, is adopted to be driven by situational awareness. Moreover, a case study incorporating unmanned surface vehicles that are aware of the international sea traffic rules is demonstrated.

Efficient discovery of join plans in schemaless data Acar, Aybar Can (2009-09-01) We describe a method of inferring join plans for a set of relation instances, in the absence of any metadata, such as attribute domains, attribute names, or constraints (e.g., keys or foreign keys). Our method enumerates the possible join plans in order of likelihood, based on the compatibility of a pair of columns and their suitability as join attributes (i.e. their appropriateness as keys). We outline two variants of the approach. The first variant is accurate but potentially time-consuming, especially fo...
Value of information analysis for interventional and counterfactual Bayesian networks in forensic medical sciences Constantinou, Anthony Costa; Yet, Barbaros; Fenton, Norman; Neil, Martin; Marsh, William (2016-01-01) Objectives: Inspired by real-world examples from the forensic medical sciences domain, we seek to determine whether a decision about an interventional action could be subject to amendments on the basis of some incomplete information within the model, and whether it would be worthwhile for the decision maker to seek further information prior to suggesting a decision.
A risk and vulnerability ontology for construction projects Fidan , Gülşah; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) Risk is an uncertain event which will cause deviation in pre-defined objectives, if it occurs. Risk management aims to identify risks, quantify their impacts and develop strategies to mitigate them to ensure project success. Within the context of risk management studies, risk models are usually designed to simulate the project performance under various scenarios. For risk modeling, the statistical link between the risk events and their consequences is scrutinized. However, this approach has a limitation as ...
AN APPROACH FOR EXTENDING PROMETHEE TO REFLECT CHOICE BEHAVIOUR OF THE DECISION MAKER Karasakal, Esra; Bozkurt, Ahmet (2019-08-01) In this study, an approach based on PROMETHEE is developed to correctly reflect the choice behavior of the decision maker that is not explained by the utility theory. The prospect theory argues that losses have higher impact than gains. We integrate the prospect theory into PROMETHEE through defining new preference functions. The proposed approach is behaviorally realistic and tolerates some degree of intransitivities in the preferences of the decision maker. For determining the criteria weights, we utilize...
The explanatory gap problem in philosophy of mind Arıkan, Pakize; Sayan, Erdinç; Department of Philosophy (2007) A given qualitative mental experience possesses qualitative aspects, or qualia, that identify and distinguish it from other qualitative mental states. While some philosophers explained the mental phenomena by positing nonphysical kinds of entities, some others propose wholly physical explanations. Even if those physicalistic explanations of the mental shed some light on the issue of body-mind relation, Joseph Levine claims that there still exists an explanatory gap between a qualitative mental state and the...
