Choice experiments on land managers' participation in environmental programs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of estimate validity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...

Guided model checking with a bayesian meta-heuristic

open access: yesProceedings. Fourth International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design, 2004. ACSD 2004., 2004
Summary: This paper presents a meta-heuristic for use in finding errors in models of complex concurrent systems using explicit guided model checking. The meta-heuristic improves explicit guided model checking by applying the empirical Bayes method to revise heuristic estimates of the distance from a given state to an error state.

Short‐Term Scheduling Optimization of a Single‐Pipeline Refining System With High Melting Point Crude Oil

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In order to reflect the actual production situation more comprehensively and optimize the production cost, this paper solves the short‐term scheduling optimization problem for a single pipeline containing high melting point crude oil. Based on the refining plan given by the upper layer, a multi‐objective optimization model with high melting ...

Data, not documents: Moving beyond theories of information‐seeking behavior to advance data discovery

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 649-664, April 2025.
Abstract Many theories of human information behavior (HIB) assume that information objects are in text document format. This paper argues four important HIB theories are insufficient for describing users' search strategies for data because of assumptions about the attributes of objects that users seek.

A hybrid scatter search. Electromagnetism meta-heuristic for project scheduling. [PDF]

open access: yes
In the last few decades, several effective algorithms for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem have been proposed. However, the challenging nature of this problem, summarised in its strongly NP-hard status, restricts the ...

Slow and steady wins the race: Approximating Nash equilibria in nonlinear quadratic tracking games [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We propose a meta-heuristic approach for solving nonlinear dynamic tracking games. In contrast to more "traditional" methods based on linear-quadratic (LQ) techniques, this derivative-free method is very flexible (e.g. to introduce inequality constraints)

Context‐centric proactive information delivery for Knowledge Work support: Opportunities, challenges, and directions. An Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST)

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Context‐centric proactive information delivery (PID) is a relatively underexplored domain within recommender systems (RS) aimed at enhancing Knowledge Workers' productivity by proactively providing relevant information during digital tasks.
