The purpose of this study is to propose an architectural design process adopting design concepts with weight on them. The process of the study is as follow; First, design concepts for the study are classified by the hierarchy. Developing process of those design concepts which had been adopted for a creative thinking was investigated. Second, after putting different weight on diverse design concepts, this study propose a design process adopting design concepts with different weight. Finally, the proposed process adopting design concepts with weight was verified through a case study of elementary school project. The case study was carried out by questionnaires 3 times. Experimental results verified the hypothesis which was about the process adopting design concepts with different weight. Architects can precede their design process with confidence about setting design concepts by the result of this study.

This study is aimed at proposing a new approach to designing UDSS (Ubiquitous Decision Support System) which allows context-awareness and connectivity. In the previous studies, the need to design UDSS and analyze its performance empirically was raised. However, due to the complexity of empirical approaches, there is no study attempting to tackle this research issue so far. To fill this research void, this study proposes a Mobile Delivery System (MDS) as a form of UDSS, empirically analyzing how users perceive its context-awareness and connectivity functions. Especially, to add more rigor to the proposed approach to know how much it works well in the decision-making contexts, we considered three decision making phases (intelligence, design, choice) in the research model. With the valid questionnaires collected from 340 users of the MDS, we induced statistically proven results showing that both context-awareness and connectivity of the proposed UDSS (or MDS) influence the decision making steps positively and then contribute to improving the decision making quality.

We measure individuals' decision making styles and risk attitudes from a sample of Korean adults using the general decision making styles (GDMS) and the multiple price list design (MPLD), respectively. With the measurement results, we identify the distributions of the decision making styles and risk attitudes, and explore the relationship between them. Specifically, we conduct an exploratory experiment to find out some meaningful characteristics of the Korean adults in terms of their decision making styles and risk attitudes. The results of the experiment show that the distribution of the five decision making styles turns out to be different by the demographic characteristics of the sample. In addition, risk attitudes of the Korean people are quite distinct from those shown in the previous studies which were mostly conducted in the United States with the samples of college students. It is also shown that each of the five decision making styles has a different distribution of risk attitudes, which is statistically verified. The results of this study make a meaningful addition to the literature of this kind by providing the rationale for understanding the decision making styles and the risk attitudes of the Korean adults, which may serve as grounds for predicting the behaviors of the key individuals in various public and private sectors.

In Korea construction project case, architectural construction project is curtailed production because information network process within multidisciplinary isn't smooth. Particularly, the construction is not insufficient about performance, cost and material, construction process, etc. in result various question arises because of design error in construction step. And various mistake is made because communication path within multidisciplinary isn't smooth in architectural design and design change process. Therefore The final object of this study is to propose the establishment method of decision support process for the cooperative design in order to provides improved design coordination and optimize the building system.

This paper is concerned with designing and implementing the Internet shopping mall by using virtual reality-driven avatar and web decision support system. Traditionally, the Internet shopping mall has been designed based on the combination of several hyperlinks, images, and tents. However, this sort of approach results in a lower performance because possible customers cannot make more accurate shopping decisions. To overcome this kind of pitfalls facing the current Internet shopping malls, we propose using a combination of virtual reality and web DSS. The main virtues of our proposed approach to designing the Internet shopping mall are as follows: First, the virtual reality technique is emerging as one of alternatives guaranteeing a sense of reality for customers' part and facilitating the complex process of shopping decision makings. Especially, the avatar, which is an artificially designed man working on the Internet, can make easy and absorbing the Internet shopping-related decision making processes. Second, the web DSS approach can provide an effective decision support mechanism for customers. Especially, we design a set of intelligent agents for the proposed web DSS. Experimental results with an illustrative example showed that our proposed approach can yield a new Internet shopping mall paradigm with which customers can benefit from a high level of decision support functions.

Purpose - The prior literature has shown that there is a lack of a complete assessment of the key decisions in cold chain logistics. Such a study is required to offer recommendations for research in this expanding but under-researched topic with potentially significant management ramifications. Research design, Data, and methodology - The current researcher accumulated peer-reviewed sources from databases to augment each chosen study's validity. Selection varied between seminal works and much of the existing literature. The selection process was consistent with using a content checklist that established the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result - The research findings indicate total five solutions regarding better decision in Cold Chain Logistics (CCL), such as (1) Pricing Decision in Cold Chain Logistics, (2) Decision on Temperature Control Decision in Cold Chain Logistics, (3) Supply Chain Network Design in Cold Chain Logistics, (4) Decision on Minimizing Inventory in Cold Chain Logistics, (5) Decision on Logistics Distribution. Conclusion - Stability of a cold chain should be maintained from manufacture or via logistical components and cold logistics products are susceptible to several variables, such as temperature, and degradation can easily harm food supply, product prices, and human health. Product safety infractions substantially impact human health, among other losses linked with a functioning CCL.

The purpose of the weapon live test during the phase of development is to provide essential information to decision makers that verify and validate the performance capabilities of weapons. Due to varying allocation and high variance of test resources with an increase in the weapon system's capability, the test environment can get highly complex, which can lead to a decrease in the reliability of test results. This issue can be addressed by applying a decision support system that provides various timely information collected by resources during the test process. The decision support system can be designed by applying the concept of digital twins, that are defined as digital replicas of components, systems and processes. This paper describes a design methodology of the decision support system that consists of digital models and service functions using digital twin architecture. A case study illustrates the feasibility of the proposed methodology in supporting the weapon live test process.

Purpose: Increasing competition in the higher education sector has prompted universities to enhance their marketing efforts and understand their potential customers. The study aims to explore how information sources are used and changed among prospective Vietnamese students during the decision-making process. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: This study undertakes a longitudinal study involving multiple rounds of data collection to better understand the decision-making process of prospective students. Data was collected from 12th -grade students in Vietnam through two rounds of quantitative surveys with 251 students and one round of qualitative interviews, spanning the duration of their senior year. The three stages of the decision-making process correspond to the three stages of pre-purchase period. Results: Most students decide that attending open days, taking career assessments, and looking up information online are the most important information sources to consider. The WOM sources are more important in the early stages, while university-generated sources and events are important in the later stages. Conclusion: Implications from this study may contribute to the design of more effective marketing communications campaigns as university marketers gain a better understanding of the distribution of information sources utilized for each specific stage of the decision-making process.
