Processi di consultazione e partecipazione: un quadro generale
2009
L’analisi delle motivazioni che hanno portato, in più parti del mondo, ad avviare pratiche di consultazione parte da una constatazione condivisa da molti: la crisi della democrazia rappresentativa e il conseguente tentativo di rivitalizzarla, introducendo forme di democrazia deliberativa. Marilena Macaluso analizza questo ed altri elementi, come la sindrome NIMBY che blocca le grandi opere, e presenta modalità di consultazione diverse ma con un comune obiettivo: rilegittimare i processi decisionali, coinvolgendo i soggetti interessati, e, quindi, ricomporre il conflitto. Macaluso ci parla della consultazione supportata dalle nuove tecnologie; delle indicazioni di ONU, OCSE e UE in materia d…
A Framework to Support Business-IT Alignment in Enterprise Architecture Decision Making
2008
First published in the proceedings of the EBRF 2007 conference ”Research Forum to Understand Business in Knowledge Society”, September 25-27, Jyväskylä, Finland Business-IT alignment is one of the key concerns of general management and chief information officers. It is commonly recognized as an important instrument for realizing organizational effectiveness. Achieving business-IT alignment requires often change in the way managers regard IT and it demands co-operation between general and IT management. The challenge of aligning business- and IT-related concerns and requirements in architecture decision making situations is the focus of this study. As one possible solution, we present a fram…
FO^2 with one transitive relation is decidable
2013
We show that the satisfiability problem for the two-variable first-order logic, FO^2, over transitive structures when only one relation is required to be transitive, is decidable. The result is optimal, as FO^2 over structures with two transitive relations, or with one transitive and one equivalence relation, are known to be undecidable, so in fact, our result completes the classification of FO^2-logics over transitive structures with respect to decidability. We show that the satisfiability problem is in 2-NExpTime. Decidability of the finite satisfiability problem remains open.
Esquema de derivación consistente de prioridades en un marco de consenso
2019
La toma de decisiones impregna la actividad humana. Con frecuencia, la decisión no es simple porque involucra elementos cualitativos, subjetivos, intangibles. En diversos métodos de decisión multi-criterio, los elementos protagonistas de tales procesos son comparados por pares, y tales comparaciones se utilizan para construir una matriz de comparaciones, de cuyo estudio emerge la decisión. En AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), por ejemplo, las prioridades se obtienen vía el vector propio de Perron de tales matrices. Para que la decisión sea adecuada, no obstante, las comparaciones deben ser aceptablemente consistentes. Pero cuando se comparan muchos elementos, la consistencia puede flaquear,…

Direcció d'organitzacions: Una visió estratègica
2012
Es una introducción al problema de la dirección en las organizaciones actuales, que toma como punto de partida la evolución de los conceptos fundamentales hasta llegar a las definiciones más ajustadas a la nueva visión estratégica. Con estas premisas se describe un proceso de dirección completo e integrado que nos permite comprender las competencias directivas necesarias para afrontar todos los problemas de este proceso: Tener la información adecuada para tomar decisiones de todo tipo en cada área organizativa; además de ser capaces de ponerlas en práctica y evaluar los resultados para reajustar el proceso con toda esta información. Así pues, describimos el proceso de dirección estratégica;…
Social Psychology of Persuasion Applied to Human Agent Interaction
2008
This paper discusses and evaluates the application of a social psychologically enriched, user-centered approach to agent architecture design. The major aim is to facilitate human–agent interaction (HAI) by making agents not only algorithmically more intelligent but also socially more skillful in communicating with the user. A decision-making model and communicative argumentation strategies have been incorporated into the agent architecture. In the presented content resource management experiments, enhancement of human task performance is demonstrated for users that are supported by a persuasive agent. This superior performance seems to be rooted in a more trusting collaborative relationship…
Electronic Patient Records in Interprofessional Decision Making: Standardized Categories and Local Use
2012
Electronic patient records (EPRs) are a constitutive element of medical practice and are expected to improve interprofessional communication and support decision making. The aim of the current study is to explore the ways in which access to structured information from multiple professions within EPRs enters into the phases involved in arriving at final agreements about patients’ future care. The results show that decision making in interprofessional team rounds involves a prestructuring of a pathological reality. Further, the results demonstrate how information in EPRs is deconstructed and recast into patterns that presuppose knowledge about the EPR’s structural organization. This means tha…
