Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe use of Expected Utility Theory (EUT) in Taxpayers' Behaviour ModellingFarid Ameur, Mohamed TkiouatIn this study, we analyze taxpayers' behaviour regarding tax system. We present a theoretical study of a model pre established by other authors based on the expected utility theory; taxpayer's behavior is assumed to be risk-averse. We have released some conditions of this model and we have introduced a new parameter reflecting the efficiency of tax control; we found that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnhanced Preemptive Global Utility Accrual Real Time Scheduling Algorithms in Multicore EnvironmentIdawaty Ahmad, Mohamed Othman, Zuriati Ahmad ZulkarnainThis paper proposed an efficient real time scheduling algorithm using global scheduling paradigm running in multicore environment known as Global Preemptive Utility Accrual Scheduling (GPUAS) algorithm. The existing TUF/UA multiprocessor scheduling algorithms known as Greedy-Global Utility Accrual (G-GUA) and Non Greedy-Global Utility Accrual (NG-GUA) algorithms is seen to overlook the efficiency on its task scheduling algorithm. These algorithms have adapted … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 11 Feb 2016 · 6,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUtility-based Scheduling Frameworks for Efficient Quality-of-Service Differentiation in a Mixture of Real-time and Non-real-time TrafficsOlalekan Bello, Hushairi Zen, AL-Khalid Othman, Khairuddin Abdul HamidThis paper proposes a utility-based scheduling framework for efficient differentiation of users’ Quality-of-Service (QoS) in a broadband wireless access system involving heterogeneous mixed traffic flows. The utility-based scheduling framework, called Maximum QoS Satisfaction (MQS), is based on three novel Radio Resource Allocation (RRA) techniques; delay-based scheduling policy for Real-Time (RT), minimum-rate-based scheduling policy for Non-Real-Time (NRT) and a throughput-based scheduling … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 19 Oct 2015 · 7,139 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Key Components of Job Satisfaction in Malaysian Water Utility IndustryKhalizani Khalid, Hanisah M. Salim, Siew-Phaik Loke, Khalisanni KhalidProblem statement: This study aimed to examine the impacts of employee’s rewards and employee’s motivation on employee’s job satisfaction between public and private water utility organization in Malaysia. Approach: A total of 689 employees from both sectors participated. While hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to test the relationship between employee’s rewards, employee’s motivation and employee’s job satisfaction, gap analysis was … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 16 Aug 2011 · 9,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Discrete Event Simulation Framework for Utility Accrual Scheduling Algorithm in Uniprocessor EnvironmentIdawaty Ahmad, Shamala Subramaniam, Mohamed Othman, Zuriati ZulkarnainProblem statement: The heterogeneity in the choice of simulation platforms for real time scheduling stands behind the difficulty of developing a common simulation environment. A Discrete Event Simulation (DES) for a real time scheduling domain encompassing event definition, time advancing mechanism and scheduler has yet to be developed. Approach: The study focused on the proposed and the development of an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 14 Jul 2011 · 7,224 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Backward Recovery Mechanism in Preemptive Utility Accrual Real Time Scheduling AlgorithmIdawaty Ahmad, Muhammad Fauzan OthmanProblem statement: This study proposed a robust algorithm named as Backward Recovery Preemptive Utility Accrual Scheduling (BRPUAS) algorithm that implements the Backward Recovery (BR) mechanism as a fault recovery solution under the existing utility accrual scheduling environment. The problem identified in the TUF/UA scheduling domain is that the existing algorithms only considers the Abortion Recovery (AR) as their fault recovery … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 6,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnhanced Utility Accrual Scheduling Algorithms for Adaptive Real Time SystemIdawaty Ahmad, Muhammad Fauzan OthmanProblem statement: This study proposed two utility accrual real time scheduling algorithms named as Preemptive Utility Accrual Scheduling (PUAS) and Non-preemptive Utility Accrual Scheduling (NUAS) algorithms. These algorithms addressed the unnecessary abortion problem that was identified in the existing algorithm known as General Utility Scheduling (GUS). It is observed that GUS is inefficient for independent task model because it simply … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUtility-Based Policy Management System for Virtual OrganizationAnas J.A. Husain, Chan Huah YongProblem statement: Policy issues have become a challenge within Virtual Organizations (VOs) that integrate participants and resources, spanning multiple physical institutions. Each of the VO classes has different goals that hope to be achieved by providing policies. The main question in this regard is that "how such policies can help the entire VO participants achieve their goals". Approach: As a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Mean-Variance Portfolio Optimal Under Utility PricingHürlimann WernerAn expected utility model of asset choice, which takes into account asset pricing, is considered. The obtained portfolio selection problem under utility pricing is solved under several assumptions including quadratic utility, exponential utility and multivariate symmetric elliptical returns. The obtained unique solution, called optimal utility portfolio, is shown mean-variance efficient in the classical sense. Various questions, including conditions for complete … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFeasibility Study on Solar Power Plant Utility Grid under Malaysia Feed-in TariffM. Pauzi M. Kassim, Karam M. Al-Obaidi, M. Arkam C. Munaaim, Abd. Mokhti SallehIn Perlis, Northern Malaysia, a solar power plant with an energy capacity of 5 MWp began selling energy to Tenaga Nasional Berhad in January 2013. Upon obtaining Feed-in Tariff approval from the Sustainable Energy Department Authority of Malaysia, the power plant will produce energy with a Feed-in Tariff of RM 0.874 for every kWh for 21 years according to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 27 May 2015 · 8,989 accessesView PDFCite
