Cost–benefit analysis (CBA), sometimes called benefit costs analysis (BCA), is a systematic approach to estimating the strengths and weaknesses of alternatives used to determine options which provide the best approach to achieving benefits while preserving savings (for example, in transactions, activities, and functional business requirements). A CBA may be used to compare completed or potential courses of actions, or to estimate (or evaluate) the value against the cost of a decision, project, or policy. It is commonly used in commercial transactions, business or policy decisions (particularly public policy), and project investments.
Notification platform architecture
The present invention relates to a system (10) and methodology (170, 173, 180, 400, 600, 1000) to enable a variety of information associated with one or more notification sources (26-28) to be directed to one or more notification sinks (36-38) via a notification platform architecture (10). The architecture (10) includes a context analyzer (22) for determining a user's state such as location and attentional focus, wherein the user's state is employed by a notification manager (24) to make decisions regarding what, when and how information generated by the notification sources (26-28) should be forwarded to the notification sinks (36-38), for example. These decisions can include a cost benefit analysis wherein considerations are given as to whether the benefits of notifying the user are outweighed by the costs of disrupting the user. Decision-theoretic policies (177, 180) and / or somewhat less formal heuristic policies (177) can be employed to enable the decision-making process within the notification manager (24).

InactiveUS20050084082A1Enhance interpersonal communicationValue maximizationSpecial service for subscribersDigital computer detailsCost benefitStatus changed
The present invention relates to utilizing identity and context-sensitive decision-making for handling communications, including, channel selection, routing, and rescheduling operations. The systems and methods provide a service that allows users to assess preferences regarding real-time call handling and performs dynamic decision-making about the best timing and channel for interpersonal communication. This service can be based on various cost-benefit analyses (e.g., basic and extended) that consider cost of interruption and preferences of contactors and contactees to guide communications, and / or on decision-making under uncertainty. Statistical models that are learned from data are joined with user preferences to generate expected costs of interruption for office activity and over time, based on a user's activities, locations, calendar information and preference assessments. In addition, statistical forecasting provides presence and availability predictions. The foregoing can provide an enhanced interpersonal communication system that can maximize the value and minimize the cost of communication among people.

Cost-benefit approach to automatically composing answers to questions by extracting information from large unstructured corpora
InactiveUS20050033711A1Simple modelImprove predictive performanceData processing applicationsDigital data information retrievalProbit modelBenefit analysis
The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate extraction of information from a large unstructured corpora such as from the World Wide Web and / or other unstructured sources. Information in the form of answers to questions can be automatically composed from such sources via probabilistic models and cost-benefit analyses to guide resource-intensive information-extraction procedures employed by a knowledge-based question answering system. The analyses can leverage predictions of the ultimate quality of answers generated by the system provided by Bayesian or other statistical models. Such predictions, when coupled with a utility model can provide the system with the ability to make decisions about the number of queries issued to a search engine (or engines), given the cost of queries and the expected value of query results in refining an ultimate answer. Given a preference model, information extraction actions can be taken with the highest expected utility. In this manner, the accuracy of answers to questions can be balanced with the cost of information extraction and analysis to compose the answers.

System and method for loading a cache with query results
InactiveUS6934699B1Data processing applicationsDigital data information retrievalQuery planCost–benefit analysis
A system and method for avoiding accessing a remote database twice, once during query execution and again to retrieve objects identified by the query, when an application requires objects on which to operate. During query plan generation in response to a request for database objects from an application, a query optimizer inserts cache operators into the candidate plans, and then a cost-benefit analysis is undertaken to identify the best plan. The best plan is then used to execute the query, with the cache operators causing objects identified during query execution to be cached locally to the requesting application as the query is being executed, thereby avoiding requiring the application to access the database after query execution.

Harnessing predictive models of durations of channel availability for enhanced opportunistic allocation of radio spectrum
ActiveUS8254393B2Minimize disruptionMinimizing glitchError preventionFrequency-division multiplex detailsFrequency spectrumCost–benefit analysis
A proactive adaptive radio methodology for the opportunistic allocation of radio spectrum is described. The methods can be used to allocate radio spectrum resources by employing machine learning to learn models, via accruing data over time, that have the ability to predict the context-sensitive durations of the availability of channels. The predictive models are combined with decision-theoretic cost-benefit analyses to minimize disruptions of service or quality that can be associated with reactive allocation policies. Rather than reacting to losses of channel, the proactive policies seek switches in advance of the loss of a channel. Beyond determining durations of availability for one or more frequency bands statistical machine learning also be employed to generate price predictions in order to facilitate a sale or rental of the available frequencies, and these predictions can be employed in the switching analyses The methods can be employed in non-cooperating distributed models of allocation, in centralized allocation approaches, and in hybrid spectrum allocation scenarios.

A system and methodology are disclosed for monitoring and controlling a semiconductor fabrication process. Measurements are taken in accordance with scatterometry based techniques of repeating in circuit structures that evolve on a wafer as the wafer undergoes the fabrication process. The measurements can be employed to generate feed forward and / or feedback control data that can utilized to selectively adjust one or more fabrication components and / or operating parameters associated therewith to adapt the fabrication process. Additionally, the measurements can be employed in determining whether to discard the wafer or portions thereof based on a cost benefit analysis, for example. Directly measuring in circuit structures mitigates sacrificing valuable chip real estate as test grating structures may not need to be formed within the wafer, and also facilitates control over the elements that actually affect resulting chip performance.
