Nowadays, the key role of Balanced Score cards in performance management and performance measurement is undeniable. The current BSC systems are not able to deal with vagueness and imprecision of evaluators’ mental. In order to overcome these constraints a general framework is proposed for Balanced Score Cards. This model provides a quantitative BSC...
Usability of the e-government portal is a crucial factor that should be considered for improving efficiency in services to citizens. In this study a factorial design model is provided as a guideline in developing e-government portal. The quality of portals' usability lies on identifying user requirements and evaluation techniques. By designing an e...
Successful software development often depends on the ability of specifically skilled individuals to cooperate effectively in order to achieve the project goals. This cooperative ability goes beyond the individual technical skills of the team participants and concerns how easy it is for people to work together as a team. The primary goal of this pap...
Optimizing the performance of teams in modern organizations is an important managerial function, and particularly so in contexts where new teams must continually be formed voluntarily, such as with software development, crowd-sourcing platforms, and even the formation of scientific collaborative teams. In many such cases, team performance is signif...
The success or failure of software development group work depends on the group members' personalities, as well as their skills in performing various tasks associated with the project. Moreover, in the reality, tasks have a dynamic nature and their requirements change over time. Therefore, the effect of task dynamics on the teamwork must be taken in...
While collaborative learning has long been believed to hold a great value for organizations and classrooms, Modeling this learning in small, short-term project teams is a challenge. This paper describes the development of an agent-based modeling approach that can assist in understanding the collaborative learning of such project teams. A key aspect...
We present an investigation into the effects that player personality can have on team performance in games that have been designed to have a social purpose (“serious games”), such as games intended to enhance more consideration for the environment and for sustainable energy usage. The work involves multi-agent-based model of team play, where indivi...
A large number of time series is used for decision making models and decision experts. We used time series of non-farm income to predict Isfahan non-farm income pr capital in future years. Box-Jenkins seasonal ARIMA models are employed to analyze and forecast the time series. A timely decision model is crucial for predicting the amount of income in...

Function Point Analysis (FPA) is most used technique for estimating the size of a computerized business information system which was developed by Allan Albrecht. Various studies proposed new methods to extent FPA algorithm; mainly they tried to make it more precise but they are based on the similarity of previous projects so this paper is proposed....
This paper presents an online publication system that helps authors and journals to handle the publication process in an effective process. This system follows Unified Process that all the phases including analysis, design, and implementation. The process is designed by the unified model language (UML2) version2. Then by drawing root cause analysis...

It generates all the possible combinations of rules and does not serve my purpose.
I am wondering is anyone here has experience with running Vargha-Delaney A test (preferably with SPSS). I couldn't find it in SPSS and I tried to write a code with R but it didn't work.
Alternatively you can use some simple methods. For example you can rank variables based on the utility. Is that true? Sorry if the question seems simple for some of you. I don't have basic knowledge about GA. I just tried to solve an optimization problem in my agent-based model and couldn't figure out why most researchers use GA when alternatively they can have a true answers with simple and traditional methods. For example, in my model I can calculate the utility with all the variable combinations and choose the best result. Is there anything in GA that I cannot see?
