A digital individual benefit statement to mitigate the risk of poverty in retirement ::the case of Switzerland

Old-age retirement benefits are a major concern among the Swiss population but estimating one’s revenue after retirement is challenging due to the Swiss social system’s complexity. In Switzerland, as with many other countries, the risk of poverty for retiree people is high, especially for women who often work part-time. The research presented in this paper proposes a methodology to...

A robust share-of-choice model

In this paper, we propose an approach to take into account , in a robust way, part-worth uncertainty in a share-of-choice (SOC) model. More precisely, we extend the method proposed by Wang and Curry by endogenously including competition. Indeed in their approach, competition is described exogenously and the model cannot take into account part-worth uncertainty for the competition’s...

Least-squares/relaxation method for the numerical solution of a 2D Pucci’s equation

The numerical solution of the Dirichlet problem for an elliptic Pucci’s equation in two dimensions of space is addressed by using a least-squares approach. The algorithm relies on an iterative relaxation method that decouples a variational linear elliptic PDE problem from the local nonlinearities. The approximation method relies on mixed low order finite element methods. The least-...

Security governance as a service on the cloud

Small companies need help to detect and to respond to increasing security related threats. This paper presents a cloud service that automates processes that make checks for such threats, implement mitigating procedures, and generally instructs client companies on the steps to take. For instance, a process that automates the search for leaked credentials on the Dark Web will, in the...

Blockchain-based digital evidence inventory

This paper proposes the use of a blockchainbased structure in order to store evidences in a digital forensics investigation. The traditional chain of evidence is augmented with properties of immutability and traceability, thanks to a cryptographic process. The blockchain is constructed by forensics experts by adding evidences through the process. Since the blockchain is immutable, it...

A supply-demand modeling of the Swiss roundwood market ::actors responsiveness and CO2 implications

Given the importance of wood products in CO2 sequestration, an increase in the use of local wood in construction may help reduce the sector's net emissions. However, given the low prices of wood, the Swiss forest industry is unwilling to produce more, despite the important potential of wood mobilization. Financial incentives may help meet the goals of both environmental and...

A hedonic approach to estimate the price of reliability, energy efficiency and safety for new cars in Switzerland

When purchasing a car in Switzerland, consumers can consult three quality labels. First, a reliability label provides the probability that a given car will have a breakdown in the next year. Second, an energy efficiency label, based on fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, ranks cars from A to G. Third, a safety label, based on crash tests, ranks cars from five to one stars...

Biomedical ontology alignment ::an approach based on representation learning

Background: While representation learning techniques have shown great promise in application to a number of different NLP tasks, they have had little impact on the problem of ontology matching. Unlike past work that has focused on feature engineering, we present a novel representation learning approach that is tailored to the ontology matching task. Our approach is based on embedding...

The CoWaBoo protocol and applications ::towards the learnable social semantic web

Web platforms and applications are generating a normalized environment for users to consume information. This process of making the Internet experience “clickable” and “fun” comes at a price: we are less inclined to face important decisions on how applications work, data are handled, or how algorithms decide. This article will examine the possibility of shifting from predetermined...

The dial-a-ride problem with electric vehicles and battery swapping stations

The Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP) consists of designing vehicle routes and schedules for customers with special needs and/or disabilities. The DARP with Electric Vehicles and battery swapping stations (DARP-EV) concerns scheduling a fleet of EVs to serve a set of pre-specified transport requests during a certain planning horizon. In addition, EVs can be recharged by swapping their...

Combining behavioral approaches with techno-economic energy models ::dealing with the coupling non-linearity issue

Consumer behaviour is often complex and even sometimes not economically rational. Wrongly, the first techno-economic energy planning models assumed the economic rationality hypothesis and, therefore, represented consumers’ behaviour incorrectly. Nevertheless, the current trend is to couple these models with behavioural approaches that were specially developed to describe the real...

On the properties of high-order non-monetary measures for risks

This paper investigates how welfare losses for facing high-order risk increases change when the risk environment of the decision maker is altered. To that aim, we define the nth-order utility premium as a measure of pain associated with facing the passage of one risk to a more severe one and we examine some of its properties. Changes in risk are expressed through the concept of...

A semi-Lagrangian splitting method for the numerical simulation of sediment transport with free surface flows

We present a numerical model for the simulation of 3D poly-dispersed sediment transport in a Newtonian flow with free surfaces. The physical model is based on a mixture model for multiphase flows. The Navier–Stokes equations are coupled with the transport and deposition of the particle concentrations, and a volume-of-fluid approach to track the free surface between water and air. The...

A study on the heterogeneous fleet of alternative fuel vehicles ::reducing CO2 emissions by means of biodiesel fuel

In the context of home healthcare services, patients may need to be visited multiple times by different healthcare specialists who may use a fleet of heterogeneous vehicles. In addition, some of these visits may need to be synchronized with each other for performing a treatment at the same time. We call this problem the Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem with Synchronized...

Digital feedback: : a multimodal approach to feedback for learning

Digital tools provide educators with a platform to deliver feedback in a multi-modal manner, which can be particularly useful for qualitative student work. This paper explores how delivering student feedback with a multimodal digital approach through screen casting is a way to enhance formative assessment for learning. The purpose of this work is to briefly survey the literature on...

Is taxing waste a waste of time? ::evidence from a Supreme Court decision

Environmental taxes are often underexploited. This paper analyses the effectiveness of a garbage tax, assessing its effects on multiple outcomes as well as its acceptability. We study how a Supreme Court decision, mandating the Swiss Canton of Vaud to implement a tax on garbage, affects garbage production and beliefs about the tax. We adopt a difference-in-differences approach...

Le sentiment d'appartenance au Grand Genève demeure problématique ::analyse des articles de presse et des discours politiques (2005-2017)

Le projet "Grand Genève" peine à créer autour de lui un sentiment d'identification fort. La collaboration entre le canton de Genève, le canton de Vaud et les départements de la Haute-Savoie et de l'Ain reste depuis 2005 une entreprise qui apparaît lointaine et détachée de toute notion affective aux yeux de la population. L'étude des discours politiques et des...

Replenishment behavior in sequential supply chains

Inventory managers do not predominantly follow normative optimization models. At best, they introduce a level of bounded rationality in their inventory replenishment decisions. This paper examines the behavior of inventory decision-makers under continuous review in a decentralized supply chain, using an experimental approach with unknown market demand and local information...
