Agent-Based Modeling Approach to Investigating the Impact of Water Demand Management
Xiao, Yi; Fang, Liping; Hipel, Keith W. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018-03-01)This paper proposes an agent-based modeling approach to assess water users' behavior for water demand management (WDM) in a river basin. In this procedure, each agent controls its own strategy regarding whether to conserve ... -
Fuzzy levels of preference strength in a graph model with multiple decision makers
Yu, Jing; Hipel, Keith W.; Kilgour, D. Marc; Fang, Liping (Elsevier, 2019-12-15)A new hybrid preference structure combining multiple-level strength of preference and fuzzy preference is proposed to facilitate the modeling and analysis of strategic conflicts involving multiple decision makers (DMs) ... -
Incorporating Water Demand Management into a Cooperative Water Allocation Framework
Xiao, Yi; Hipel, Keith W.; Fang, Liping (Springer, 2016-07-01)The impact of a water demand management plan on a water system and its users is investigated within a comprehensive cooperative water allocation framework. In particular, a demand management plan is incorporated into a ... -
Matrix representations of the inverse problem in the graph model for conflict resolution
Wang, Junjie; Hipel, Keith W.; Fang, Liping; Dang, Yaoguo (Elsevier, 2018-10-01)Given the final individual stability for each decision maker or an equilibrium of interest, a matrix-based method for an inverse analysis is developed in order to calculate all of the possible preferences for each decision ... -
Strategic Investigation of the Jackpine Mine Expansion Dispute in the Alberta Oil Sands
Xiao, Yi; Hipel, Keith W.; Fang, Liping (IGI GLOBAL, 2015-03-01)The Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) methodology is employed to ascertain strategic insights into a serious conflict over environmental concerns connected to the expanded exploitation of oil sands at the Jackpine ...
