Towards adaptative monitoring for self-adaptative systems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-07-05)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessNowadays, most of the approaches supporting self-adaptive systems (SASs) rely on static feedback control loops, for managing their adaptation process. One of the most popular feedback loops is the MAPE-K loop. In this loop, ... -
Quantifying external cost of air pollution and GHG emissions from private road transport in Catalonia using theory of planned behavior and contingent valuation
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-07-05)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessInternalizing environmental externalities is a market-driven approach to correcting people's private costs and benefits. One way of quantifying these externalities is estimating people’s willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce ... -
