A Pattern Approach to Modeling the Provider Selection Problem
This article introduces the notion of agreement patterns, which provide a framework for modelling reusable problem solution descriptions for agreement fulfilment. In particular, the Provider Selection pattern has been identified for modelling the common problem of selecting a provider by a service consumer. The article presents the pattern structure as well as the reusable domain model and cognitive structures. Agreement patterns aim at providing reusable patterns useful for developers in multidisciplinary areas, such as Agent Technology and Service Oriented Computing
Uncertainty of the implementation time of geodynamic monitoring system in multi-criteria ranking of alternatives
The paper deals with the problem of ranking alternatives to geodynamic monitoring systems in the case of uncertainty of their implementation time. The problem is characterized by the fact that the choice of alternatives and the effect of it depends on the quality properties of the applied organizational and technical solutions, taking into account the time of implementation. The ordering of alternatives is proposed taking into account the uncertainty of the implementation time factors. Ranking is realized by comparing the trees of functional characteristics of alternatives taking into account the compliance of their characteristics with time-varying requirement
