A novel reward and penalty trust evaluation model based on confidence interval using Petri Net

Trust brings a novel means to improve the security of entities. Entities potentially initiate interactions with each other without having prior contacts. These interactions can either be formed directly between two entities or indirect through the recommendation of their acquaintances or third parties. In this paper, we present a novel trust model according to historical interaction between entities so that, the relations between entities are modeled based on four types (i.e. completely successful, completely unsuccessful, relatively successful and relatively unsuccessful) of their prior interactions. We also consider the reward and penalty for encouraging honest behaviors and preventing malicious behaviors, respectively. Unlike other proposed models, instead of taking into account the fixed amount of interactions for the experience level, in this paper, to calculate more accurate we have used the confidence interval to determine the level of experience. Also, to resist selfish and malicious behavior, the recommendation trust value for an entity computed by calculating the similarity-weighted recommendations of the entities that have interacted with him according to adjusted cosine similar function. In addition, we have developed the Petri Net model for design, analysis, and performance evaluation of the proposed model. By performing empirical evaluations, we have demonstrated that various scenarios can be better explained by our proposed reward and penalty trust model based on the confidence interval (RTMC) rather than the commonly used classical models. Simulation results and theoretical analysis proved that the RTMC promotes interaction between entities with containment capability in synergies cheating.

Creating G-Class: A gamified learning environment for freshman students

In this era of digital media, teachers are competing against technological advancements in gaining students’ engagement and attention. Incorporating game elements in the learning environment known as gamification is a new field of study that re-engages students in learning. This study was done primarily to create a gamified learning environment that will serve as another teaching strategy to engage students in learning. The learning environment was aligned with the principles of gamification and was called Gamified-Class or simply G-Class. Using data gathered from 27 freshman college students, G-Class was developed following the Analysis–Design–Development–Implementation–Evaluation model of instructional design and using the Mechanics–Dynamics–Aesthetics framework of game design. The material was implemented in a General Physics class through a quasi-experimental research design. A G-Class mobile and desktop application together with a user guide was created. G-Class was evaluated both as instructional design material and as instructional task. As an instructional design, it was assessed in terms of content and learning objectives; design, interactivity, and usability; and assessment aligned with learning outcomes. As an instructional task, G-Class was assessed using the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory which consisted of four subscales in a 7-point Likert scale, namely, interest/enjoyment, perceived competence, choice, and pressure/tension. Overall, G-Class was given positive rating both as instructional material and as instructional task. With an overall rating of 5.60, students were found to be more engaged with their subject. Applying gamification in the learning environment pointed to its beneficial effects in enhancing students’ engagement in learning.

Preliminary design of CIPP-SAW evaluation model in measuring ICT-based learning effectiveness in health colleges

Evaluation activities are essential to be conducted to measure the effectiveness level of the ICT-based learning process in colleges, including also specifically for health colleges. Evaluation models that are often used to measure ICT-based learning effectiveness in health colleges are formative-summative models. However, reality shows that the evaluation model is not effective. The problems solving to overcome that problem is to develop a new evaluation model in the form of CIPP (Context-Input-Process-Product) model based on SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) so that it can show the assessment accuracy level to ICT-based learning quality aspects. This study purpose was to know the initial design of the CIPP model based on SAW. This research uses the Borg & Gall development method, which focuses on the model design phase. Subjects involved in designing this evaluation model were three peoples with academic classifications in the fields of information technology, educational evaluation, and health. The research results showed that there was a clear evaluation model design using CIPP evaluation components and SAW methods in conducting learning evaluation. The impact that arises from this study results is the effectiveness of the implementation of ICT-based learning was more clearly measured, while the implications of this study present an evaluation model innovation in the field of education which is the adoption of decision support system concept in facilitating the calculation of the effectiveness of each evaluation aspect starting from the highest level to lowest.

An Entropy-Based Design Evaluation Model for Architectural Competitions through Multiple Factors

Generally, the evaluations in architectural competitions are based on quality where many criteria are involved. Additionally, many other inter-related criteria, identified by the members of the jury, emerge during jury evaluation. Hence, a great number of criteria play a role, with varying degrees of importance, in the evaluation process. The order of importance and weights of criteria (factors) in the evaluation phases are not fixed and differ according to the approaches of the jury members. The objective of this study is to investigate whether subjective means of evaluation can be associated with an objective and computable evaluation model. Entropy, an objective method used to measure disorder in buildings, offers significant potential in enhancing the comprehensibility of subjective tendencies in jury evaluation of architectural competitions. Previous studies have identified an inverted U relationship between entropy and subjective responses based on single and multiple factors. The Entropy-Based Design Evaluation Model (EBDEM), a method, analyzes the level of objectivity in jury evaluation and questions the predictability of evaluations through examining the relationship between the entropy values of projects and success outcomes. The Weighted Overall Entropy (WOE) was obtained by multiplying multiple factor entropy values with different weight coefficients with the purpose of ranking each project on an inverted U graph similar to jury results. The relationship between WOE values calculated and the ranking of the projects in the competitions were investigated. The findings within this study indicate that there are no relationships between single factor entropy values and ranking of the projects. Additionally, it was found that WOE values calculated for single-competition compared to multiple-competitions were more similar to jury evaluation results.

Application of Fuzzy Theory to the Evaluation Model of Product Assembly Design and Usability Operation Complexity

In order to make people’s lives more convenient and enhance living standards, the composition of a product usually includes more than one component. However, a product is created by the joint endeavor of people from various territories and therefore one of the important considerations is making a product merge into consumers’ daily lives rather than simply fulfilling its functions. There might be conflicts with people’s existing life patterns or existing values, which should be taken into consideration during the manufacturing process. This study is an investigation of the process of assembly by considering the assembly operations and the assembly operating time. By determining the relationship between components, the assembly concept of most components was analyzed. A fuzzy comprehensive evaluation was carried out during the evaluation of the degree of complexity of user operations. Depending on the ranking of membership, the most appropriate assembly was determined and this serves as a reference for designers to select the optimal product assembly. By recording the consumer usage models, the optimal assembly and usage model of product design were also proposed. The goal of this study is to find the balance between assembly evaluation and user usage model by the process in order to allow designers to determine the new assembly concepts that meet consumer usage models. A case study of four bedside stereos was carried out by implementing the proposed approach in order to determine the evaluation principle of assembly. The purpose of this is to enhance the balance between assembly design and user operation complexity for making efficient decisions. A product design can comply with the spirit of concurrent engineering and the quality of a product design can be enhanced.

A semi-analytical frequency domain model for efficient design evaluation of spar floating wind turbines

A linear model for efficient design evaluation of spar floating wind turbines is presented, and verified against a nonlinear time domain model with regards to long-term fatigue and short-term extreme response for two different spar designs. The model uses generalized displacements and a semi-analytical approach to establish the equations of motion for the system, which are solved in the frequency domain. The results show agreement within ± 30% for the long-term fatigue considering operational conditions, however, the linear fatigue damage estimates are sensitive to the accuracy of the estimated natural frequency of the first bending mode. The results also suggest that a small number of environmental conditions can be simulated with a nonlinear time domain model to verify and possibly tune the linear model, which then can be used to run the full long-term analysis. Short-term extreme tower base bending moments and surge and pitch motions are observed to be nearly Gaussian above cut-out wind speed, as the response is dominated by wave forces. Consequently, the linear model is able to accurately capture the upcrossing rates, which are used to calculate the characteristic largest extreme response. For an operational case near rated wind speed, the response is somewhat non-Gaussian, which gives larger discrepancies between the linear and nonlinear models. However, due to large mean values in this condition, the total error in the extreme response is reduced, and reasonable agreement is achieved.

A New Unified Solution for Circular Tunnel Based on a Four‐Stage Constitutive Model considering the Intermediate Principal Stress

Based on the triaxial test, the elasto‐perfectly plastic strain‐softening damage model (EPSDM) is proposed as a new four‐stage constitutive model. Compared with traditional models, such as the elasto‐brittle‐plastic model (EBM), elasto‐strain‐softening model (ESM), elasto‐perfectly plastic model (EPM), and elasto‐peak plastic‐brittle plastic model (EPBM), this model incorporates both the plastic bearing capacity and strain‐softening characteristics of rock mass. Moreover, a new closed‐form solution of the circular tunnel is presented for the stress and displacement distribution, and a plastic shear strain increment is introduced to define the critical condition where the strain‐softening zone begins to occur. The new analysis solution obtained in this paper is a series of results rather than one specific solution; hence, it is suitable for a wide range of rock masses and engineering structures. The numerical simulation has been used to verify the correctness of the EPSDM. The parametric studies are also conducted to investigate the effects of supporting resistance, residual cohesion, dilation angle, strain‐softening coefficient, plastic shear strain increment, and yield parameter on the result. It is shown that when the supporting resistance is fully released, both the post‐peak failure radii and surface displacement could be summarized as EBM > EPBM > ESM > EPSDM > EPM; the dilation angle in the damage zone had the highest influence on the surface displacement, whereas the dilation angle in the perfectly plastic zone had the lowest influence; the strain‐softening coefficient had the most significant effect on the damage zone radii; the EPSDM is recommended as the optimum model for support design and stability evaluation of the circular tunnel excavated in the perfectly plastic strain‐softening rock mass.

Compact Modeling and Evaluation of Magnetic Skyrmion-Based Racetrack Memory

Racetrack memory (RM) has been considered as one of the most attractive nonvolatile memories in the future advanced computer architectures. Current RM is based on domain wall (DW) motion, which, however, has some intrinsic limitations, such as scalability, density, and energy consumption owing to the physical property of DW. Recently, magnetic skyrmion, one new type of spintronic object, has emerged as an alternative of DW in RM application. The advantageous features of skyrmion, such as nanoscale size, topological stability, as well as ultralow depinning current density, make it promising as an information carrier in the future ultradense, high-speed, and low-power electronics in addition to RM design. In this paper, we primarily investigate the prospects of the skyrmion-based RM (Sky-RM). We developed a physics-based compact model for Sky-RM electronic design and performance evaluation. Experimentalmaterial parameterswere included and micromagnetic investigations were carried out simultaneously to calibrate the accuracy of the model. Using the developed model, hybrid simulations were performed to evaluate the Sky-RM performance, in comparison with the DW-based RM (DW-RM). Our results show that Sky-RM outperforms DW-RM in terms of storage density and energy efficiency.
