본 논문은 인터넷을 이용한 채용이 보편화되어 지원자와 고용자의 채용 조건에 대한 협상이 요구되는 시점에서, 지원자와 고용자를 대신하는 협상 에이전트를 이용한 인터넷 채용 협상 시스템을 제안한다. 기존 협상 시스템이 다중 속성에 대하여 사용자의 선호도와 순차적 협상을 이용하는 것에 반하여, 제안하는 협상 시스템은 각 속성의 병렬적 협상을 수행한다. 각 속성에 대한 병렬적 협상은 단일 속성을 포함하는 다중 속성에 대한 협상을 가능하게 하며 각 속성에 대한 개별적인 협상을 통한 협상결과를 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 선호도에 따른 가중치를 적용함으로써 보다 효율적인 협상을 제공한다는 것을 실험을 통하여 우수한 결과를 얻었다.

Evaluating environmental impacts of regional development projects has critical importance in environmental management aspect. This paper uses multi-attribute utility theory as a basis for obtaining a value index to assess the environmental impacts and applies the theory to a specific Korean case study. To structure and quantify basic values for the assessment, we elicited important attributes, then refined and structured them into a hierarchy. An environmental multi-attribute index is constructed as a multi-attribute utility function, based on value judgments provided by a group of technical experts, policy makers, and a decision-maker at Korean Ministry of Environment. The implications of the results are also discussed. We found that the work and results can provide valuable insights for assessment of environmental consequences.

The practical problem of multi-attribute decision making are formed by the uncertain attribute that the attribute by the alternatives cannot be defined or judged crisphy but only as vague. In this case the final judgements are also represented by vague which have to be ordered to determine the optimal alternative. The problem is more complex if the evaluations of alternatives according to each attribute are expresed vague. This paper described the results of a study done to determine how well multi-attribute decision marking perform in helping a decision maker arrive at a preferred solution to a multi-attribute problem with vague attribute. Particular area of research has concentrated on the issue of combining quantitative and qualitative data supplied by estimation. Futher study considers some method for suitable evaluation of qualitative data.

시계열에 대한 색인 및 검색 연구는 하나의 속성으로 구성된 시계열에 대하여 주로 수행되어 왔다. 그러나 음악, 비디오 등의 멀티미디어 데이타베이스는 다중속성 시계열 데이타베이스에서 유사 검색을 다룰 수 있어야 한다. 기존의 다중속성 시계열 데이타베이스에 대한 연구는 두 다중속성 시퀀스간의 유사도로 속성 간의 거리의 누적을 사용하고 있기에, 개별적인 속성 시퀀스에 대한 정보를 상실하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 속성 시퀀스 측면에서 다중속성 시계열 데이타베이스의 유사검색 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 검색 공간을 효율적으로 줄일 수 있으며, 착오 누락이 없음을 보장한다. 또한 실험을 통해 제안된 기법의 성능 향상을 확인하였다.

Recently school food service operations are confronted with the wide spread pressures for accountability and the need to increase productivity. This paper is concerned with the make-or-buy decision framework for school food service systems considering the multi-attributes in the decision making. For the purpose of considering the multi-attributes analysis method in decision making for the school foodservice, we developed a make-or-buy decision framework using the multi-attribute analysis method, analytic hierarchy process, AHP method for school food service system. Finally, we developed a systematic and practical solution builder for a three-step decision support system in the view of 1) brainstorming for the idea generation, 2) analytic hierarchy process, AHP as a multi-attribute structure ed analysis method, and 3) aggregation logic model to integrate the results of reviewers. We developed web based program and applied it to a school foodservice problem.

This study investigated consumer preferences for Internet medical information service in China using the multi-attribute utility theory. The multi-attribute utility theory is a compositional approach for modeling consumer preferences wherein researchers calculate the overall service utility by summing up the evaluation results for each attribute. We found that Chinese Internet medical information users consider the availability of information and quick response to be the most important attributes. Further, they think that the comment feature is less important as compared to other attributes such as costs and updates. In addition, we found that the Internet users having more Internet experience consider these attributes to be more important as compared to the people who are just beginning to surf the Internet. For any successful Internet business, Internet marketers should assess individual-level preference and accordingly organize a fresh campaign. As of now, Internet marketers need estimation methods to predict the market performance of new services in many different business environments. We believe that the multi-attribute utility theory is a useful approach in this regard.

The national nuclear R&D projects have been implemented for the purpose of supply of nuclear power which was proved to be safety and stability. Evaluating the national nuclear R&D projects has critical importance in nu-clear energy management aspect. This paper employs multi-attribute utility analysis as a basis for obtaining an evaluation index to assess the national nuclear R&D projects using a specific case study of Korea. To structure and quantify basic values for the evaluation, we elicited important attributes, then refined and structured them into a hierarchy. A multi-attribute index is constructed as a multi-attribute utility function, based on value judgments provided by a group of technical experts, policy makers, and faculties. As a result, the objective of attainment of a proposed object is given the highest priority, followed by appropriateness of project and research strategy, utilization of research output, within attribute ranges defined for the attributes. We found that the work and results of this study can provide valuable insights and decision opportunities for virtually all major decision making in evaluation of the national nuclear R&D projects in Korea.

Based on the multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT), we present a survey method to measure consumer preferences. The multi-attribute utility theory has been used to make decisions in OR/MS field; however, we show that the method can be effectively used to estimate the demand for new services by measuring individual level utility function. Because conjoint method has been widely used to measure consumer preferences for new products and services, we compare the pros and cons of two consumer preference survey methods. Further, we illustrate how swing weighing method can be effectively used to elicit customer preferences especially for new telecommunications services, Multi-attribute utility theory is a compositional approach for modeling customer preference, in which researchers calculate overall service utility by summing up the evaluation results for each attribute. On the contrary, conjoint method is a decompositional approach, which requires holistic evaluations for profiles. Partworth for each attribute is derived or estimated based on the evaluation, and finally consumer preferences for each profile are calculated. However, if the profiles are quite new and unfamiliar to the survey respondents, they will find it very difficult to accurately evaluate the profiles. We believe that the multi-attribute utility theory-based survey method is more appropriate than the conjoint method, because respondents only need to assess attribute level preferences and not holistic assessment. We chose swing weighting method among many weight assessment methods in multi-attribute utility theory, because it is designed to perform in a simple and fast manner. As illustrated in Clemen and Reilly (2001), to assess swing weights, the first step is to create the worst possible outcome as a benchmark by setting the worst level on each of the attributes. Then, each of the succeeding rows "swings" one of the attributes from worst to best. Upon constructing the swing table, respondents rank order the outcomes (rows). The next step is to rate the outcomes in which the rating for the benchmark is set to be 0 and the rating for the best outcome to be 100, and the ratings for other outcomes are determined in the ranges between 0 and 100. In calculating weight for each attribute, ratings are normalized by the total sum of all ratings. To demonstrate the applicability of the approach, we elicited and analyzed individual-level customer preference for new telecommunication services-WiBro and HSDPA. We began with a randomly selected 800 interviewees, and reduced them to 432 because other remaining ones were related to the people who did not show strong intention for subscription to new telecommunications services. For each combination of content and handset, number of responses which favored WiBro and HSDPA were counted, respectively. It was assumed that interviewee favors a specific service when expected utility is greater than that of competing service(s). Then, the market share of each service was calculated by normalizing the total number of responses which preferred each service. Holistic evaluation of new and unfamiliar service is a tough challenge for survey respondents. We have developed a simple and easy method to assess individual level preference by estimating weight of each attribute. Swing method was applied for this purpose. We believe that estimating individual level preference will be quite flexibly used to predict market performance of new services in many different business environments.

Data fusion is an attractive technology because it allows various trade-offs related to performance metrics, e.g., energy, latency, accuracy, fault-tolerance and security in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Under a complicated environment, each sensor node must be equipped with more than one type of sensor module to monitor multi-targets, so that the complexity for the fusion process is increased due to the existence of various physical attributes. In this paper, we first investigate the process and performance of multi-attribute fusion in data gathering of WSNs, and then propose a self-adaptive threshold method to balance the different change rates of each attributive data. Furthermore, we present a method to measure the energy-conservation efficiency of multi-attribute fusion. Based on our proposed methods, we design a novel energy equilibrium routing method for WSNs, viz., multi-attribute fusion tree (MAFT). Simulation results demonstrate that MAFT achieves very good performance in terms of the network lifetime.
