Modeling the Evolutionary Mechanism of Multi-Stakeholder Decision-Making in the Green Renovation of Existing Residential Buildings in China by Yuan Gao, Jinjian Liu, Jiashu Zhang, Hong Xie

“…The findings indicate that (1) government regulation and subsidy policies play central guiding roles in the early stages of green renovation, but the effectiveness has clear limitations; (2) ESCOs are most sensitive to policy incentives and market competition, and moderately increasing their risk costs can effectively deter opportunistic behavior associated with low-quality renovation; (3) owners’ willingness to participate is primarily influenced by expected returns and perceived renovation risks, while economic incentives alone have limited impact; and (4) the evolutionary outcomes are highly sensitive to parameters from prospect theory, The system’s evolutionary outcomes are highly sensitive to prospect theory parameters. …”

Data mining methods application in reflexive adaptation realization in e-learning systems by A. S. Bozhday, Y. I. Evseeva, A. A. Gudkov

“…Finding such regularities and their subsequent analysis will make it possible to reorganize the structure of the system in a more optimal way and without human intervention, which will prolong the life cycle of the software and reduce the costs of its maintenance. Achieving this effect is important for e-learning systems, since they are quite expensive.The main results of the work include: the proposed classification of software adaptation mechanisms, taking into account the latest trends in the IT field in general and in the field of e-learning in particular; Formulation and formalization of the principle of reflexive adaptation in software systems applicable to a wide class of applied programs; The development of a universal architectural template of the software system, oriented to restructuring in the process of operation; Algorithm for self-optimization of the user interface of the software system based on methods of data mining.The development of the theoretical basis for the automatic reorganization of e-learning software will increase the flexibility of the virtual educational environment and increase the period of its exploitation. …”
