    A Criteria Transformation Approach to Pattern Matching based on Non-Linear Parameter Optimization
    with Reinhard Möller, Bernard Beitz, Thomas Lepich, and Dietmar Tutsch
    Journal of Intelligent Systems 24 (2): 249-263. 2015.
    This paper presents a concept for pattern matching based on a parameter optimization system for approximative numerical calculation of some parameter combination under soft and hard constraints. The concept uses a non-linear parameter optimization method with an iterative variation of parameters. The paper focuses on the information modeling process to migrate problem-domain specific criteria into optimization-compatible objects suitable for a standardized parameter optimization procedure. A ste…Read more

    Corporate malpractice and malfeasance on an unprecedented scale have brought ethical issues to the fore and accentuated demands from activists, governments, and the public for greater corporate social responsibility (CSR). The predominant response of researchers and policymakers has been to focus on the external impact of business operations and the merits of regulation or persuasion in achieving more responsible practice in these areas. In this article, we focus on a less well explored aspect o…Read more
