A roadmap towards intelligent net zero- and positive-energy buildings

Buildings nowadays are increasingly expected to meet higher and more complex performance requirements: they should be sustainable; use zero-net energy; foster a healthy and comfortable environment for the occupants; be grid-friendly, yet economical to build and maintain. The essential ingredients for the successful development and operation of net zero- and positive-energy buildings (NZEB/PEB) are: thermal simulation models, that are accurate representations of the building and its subsystems; sensors, actuators, and user interfaces to facilitate communication between the physical and simulation layers; and finally, integrated control and optimization tools of sufficient generality that using the sensor inputs and the thermal models can take intelligent decisions, in almost real-time, regarding the operation of the building and its subsystems. To this end the aim of the present paper is to present a review on the technological developments in each of the essential ingredients that may support the future integration of successful NZEB/PEB, i.e. accurate simulation models, sensors and actuators and last but not least the building optimization and control. The integration of the user is an integral part in the dynamic behavior of the system, and this role has to be taken into account. Future prospects and research trends are discussed.     

Distance-based tree models for ranking data

Ranking data has applications in different fields of studies, like marketing, psychology and politics. Over the years, many models for ranking data have been developed. Among them, distance-based ranking models, which originate from the classical rank correlations, postulate that the probability of observing a ranking of items depends on the distance between the observed ranking and a modal ranking. The closer to the modal ranking, the higher the ranking probability is. However, such a model basically assumes a homogeneous population and does not incorporate the presence of covariates.To overcome these limitations, we combine the strength of a tree model and the existing distance-based models to build a model that can handle more complexity and improve prediction accuracy. We will introduce a recursive partitioning algorithm for building a tree model with a distance-based ranking model fitted at each leaf. We will also consider new weighted distance measures which allow different weights for different ranks in formulating more flexible distance-based tree models. Finally, we will apply the proposed methodology to analyze a ranking dataset of Inglehart’s items collected in the 1999 European Values Studies.     

An integrated method for supplier selection from the perspective of risk aversion

A lot of investigations have been published in the supplier selection area. However, few papers consider the problem from the perspective of risk aversion. In this paper, generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (GIFSS) combined with extending gray relational analysis (GRA) method is proposed to select an appropriate supplier from the perspective of risk aversion in group decision-making environment. The proposed approach consists of two phases. In the first phase, the weights of decision makers are determined by using an extended GRA method with intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (IFSS). In traditional GRA method, the ideal reference is expressed in a vector, while, in this paper, the ideal reference for all individual decisions is expressed in a matrix, which is suitable for risk aversion. The weight of decision makers is utilized to aggregate individual opinions of decision makers. In the next phase, to eliminate the bias of decision makers in the choice of supplier and rule out the possibility of errors occurring in the evaluation of alternatives, the general manager will further validate it by utilized the GIFSS. Finally, a numerical example for supplier selection is given to illustrate application of the method, and the comparisons with other methods are also made.     

An XML-based modeling language for the open interchange of decision models

These days, a modeling tool or environment has to know about the others on the market and build bridges to them with which their customers insist on sharing models and data. When it is based on a closed architecture, a tangle of import/export point translators is required. Using an exchange standard, we can design an open architecture for the interchange of models and data. XML (Extensible Markup Language) provides a framework for describing the syntax for creating and exchanging data structures. The explosive growth of XML-based proposals and standards reflects the urgent requirements and its strength. This paper proposes an XML-based language for sharing models within the MSOR/DSS community. The language is able to allow applications and on-line analytic processing tools to models obtained from multiple sources without having to deal with individual differences between those sources.

The surprising potency of implicit egotism: A reply to Simonsohn.

This article addresses Simonsohn's (2011) critique of field studies of implicit egotism. We argue that Simonsohn provides no compelling theoretical reason to believe that implicit egotism should be valid only in the laboratory. In addition, we argue that a careful analysis of most of Simonsohn's studies of implicit egotism shows that they provide little or no power to reveal real effects of implicit egotism. We conclude that it is more constructive to try to identify theoretically derived moderators of implicit egotism than to try to document that it is always spurious in the field.
