Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleData Analytics for the Cyber Security of an Information System Based on a Markov Decision Process ModelLidong Wang, Randy Jones, Terril C. FallsIntrusion detection is an important research topic in information systems and cyber security. Both a defender and an attacker detect and learn about each other during an intrusion process. The defender can expel the attacker as soon as the attacker is detected or wait and observe to know more about the attacker for the detection and prevention of other attacks … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 7 Dec 2022 · 5,431 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDetermining the Optimal Software Rejuvenation Schedule via Semi-Markov Decision ProcessHiroyuki Eto, Tadashi DohiSoftware rejuvenation is a preventive and proactive maintenance policy that is particularly useful for counteracting the phenomenon of software aging. In this study we consider an operational software system with multiple degradations and derive the optimal software rejuvenation policy minimizing the expected operation cost per unit time in the steady state, via the dynamic programming approach. Especially, we show analytically … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,976 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Impact of Health Technology Assessment on Decision-Making Processes in Public Versus Not-for-Profit Private HospitalsHafizah Besar Saaid, Donald Stewart, Ian England, Nilesh ParmarProblem statement: The goal of this study is to extend research on Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) implementation by examining the decision-making processes for acquiring new health technologies in selected hospitals in Southeast Queensland, Australia. Both a decision-making model and a mini-Health Technology Assessment (HTA) model guide the approach and analysis in this study. We anticipated that both public and private sector … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 9,071 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign and Development of Decision Making System Using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy ProcessChin Wen Cheong, Lee Hua Jie, Mak Chee Meng, Amy Lim Hui LanThis article aims to develop a fuzzy Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) tool that equips with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) framework to help users in semi-structured and unstructured decision making tasks. The tool provides portability and adaptability features by deploying the software on web platform. In addition, this system provides an integrated domain reference channel via a database connection to assist … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,197 accessesView PDF Cite
