Portsmouth is in a central South coast location with great accessibility by road, sea and air.  The main part of the city is built on the natural island of Portsea and has a friendly, cosmopolitan and quirky character. With its proud naval and maritime heritage, towering attractions, museums and galleries and of course, miles and miles of waterfront, this is a city worth a visit. Two trains an hour come direct into the city from central London with a journey time of around 90 minutes, Southampton airport is just 20 minutes away by road and both Gatwick and Heathrow are within 60 miles. In addition ferry services come direct to the city from France and Spain.单击此处进行编辑.

2016年「問題解決之研究方法(Research Methods for Problems-Solving)」夏令營活動

• 主辦單位：臺北大學研發處
• 協辦單位：臺北大學都市計畫研究所
• 參加對象：有意願奠定研究基礎之全國各大專院校教師與碩、博士班研究生(含大學部三四年級特優培育學生)為原則。
• 活動內容與方式：為提昇研究能量，特舉辦『問題解決之「研究方法(Research Methods for Problems-Solving)」』夏令營活動(Summer Camp)，由本校講座教授曾國雄教授(第四屆教育部國家講座、國科會傑出奨三次、國科會特約研究員兩次、暨國科會傑出特約研究獎、MCDM Edgeworth-Pareto Award等)親自主持活動與授課，課程之初會將『「問題解決(Problems-Solving)」之傳統至最新及未來可能發展的“New Concepts and New Trends of Hybrid MCDM for Tomorrow”『問題解決之「研究方法(Research Methods for Problems- Solving)」』』(此書將於CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2016出版)以及『如何投稿SSCI/SCI論文期刊之技巧與要點』精簡地加以深入淺出的介紹；爾後，邀請明星級師資與並搭配助教群以【個案討論】或【計算方法】或【軟體操作】等方式針對各研究方法進行深入探討，並以實例說明(如以曾國雄教授實際在SSCI/ SCI期刊刊出之論文為例)，以帶動台灣各大學整體之學術研究風氣與提昇研究能量。一開始聽不懂不用怕，聽下去，多聽幾次，同時必須找題目實做(個案分析為以【「實務之故事個案(Story Case in Practice)」+「解決實際問題之研究方法Research Methods for Practical Problems-Solving）」結果表達(Expression of results含「寫作的技巧(Writing Skill)」與「講的技巧( Speech Skill)」)，重點在於基本邏輯之思考與推理】)，一直做下去，試著投稿，就會有SSCI/SCI的研究成果，但此研究之成果是沒有白吃的午餐，要耐心，是一步一步的達成。
• 上課時間：10:00至16:00。
• 活動地點：臺北大學公共事務學院6F-630教室。
• 課程費用：免費
• 課程內容、日期與計畫：

本次課程主軸為將以累積多年(四、五十年)的研究經驗(如作業研究、統計與多變量分析、模糊理論與決策、約略集合理論、多評準決策(Multiple Criteria Decision Making, MCDM)，與許多實務研究案等)為問題解決研究之基礎理論；曾教授並將MCDM分成相互關連之三大類型「新觀念與新趨勢混合動態多評準決策模型」如下：

1. 大數據資料處理方法(Data Mining method for Big Data)：約略集合If-then Cause-effect Rule-based大數據資料處理探勘面之「多規則性決策(Multiple Rule-based Decision Making, MRDM)」。本單元適合解決「資料處理」方面之問題，如何萃取「核心屬性(Core Attributes)」等，進行一系列方法說明，其中包含支援向量機(Support Vector Machine, SVM)、約略集合(Rough set, RST)與Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA)。
2. 多屬性決策方法(Multiple Attribute Decision Making, MADM)：評估排序、選擇、與改善之「改良型多屬性決策(Modified Multiple Attribute Decision Making, Modified MADM)」。本單元適合解決「評估、選擇與改善策略」方面之問題進行一系列方法說明，其中包含屬性關聯性的結構法(DEMATEL)屬性權重求法(AHP/ANP/DANP)以及績效評估法，含加法型與非加法型(Fuzzy Integral)解決現今實務問題之評估法，如修正式簡單加法型、TOPISIS(問題點)、修正式VIKOR法、修正式Grey Relation Analysis、修正式ELECTRE與修正式PROMETHEE，以“aspired-worst”代替(replace)傳統以“max-min”為標竿(benchmark)。
3. 多目標決策方法(Multiple Objective Decision Making, MODM)：規劃面之「可變空間多目標決策(Multiple Objective Decision Making Based on Changeable Spaces, MODM Based on Changeable Spaces )」。本單元適合解決「規劃、設計與資源規劃」方面之問題進行一系列方法說明，其中包含多目標規劃系列之方法、De Novo programming及可變空間多目標規劃(Changeable spaces with multiple programming)。

以此些方法之理念，對「經濟-管理(Economics and Business)」等有關之各種領域主題，進行混合式整合性系統之理論與實務應用的社會網路研究(Social Network Analysis)；並且皆以臺灣問題為實際題材的研究計畫案（含產業合作案、國科會計畫案等）做為實際案例分析，並可將研究成果發表於SSCI/SCI國際各知名期刊。

The 13th ISAHP conference will take place in London, UK from 4 to 7 August at the Paddington Hotel (click here to reserve at a special rate). In this conference we will have individual papers, posters, special sessions and round tables.
Individual Papers
We invite you to send us your original contributions on the topics of the ISAHP2016 conference. Individual authors can access the online submission system through this link. Recommended length for papers is two pages and you can use the given template (PDF, docx). Each paper will be reviewed by two peers, who will also give a suggestion on whether or not the paper submitted is of sufficient quality that the authors can be invited to submit an original contribution to one of the special issues. The deadline for submitting the individual papers is February 29, 2016. More detailed guidelines can be found here.
The Program Committee, supported by keynote speakers and track chairs, has been very active in organizing several special issues on relevant journals. Authors will have the opportunity to submit their original contributions to those special issues.
Poster presentations
We are glad to announce you that the ISAHP2016 conference, will be accepting poster presentations for the first time. An effective poster will help you engage colleagues in conversation and get your main point(s) across to as many people as possible. We invite you to submit the title and abstract of your poster presentation using the online submission system (the posters are submitted via the individual paper submission). All poster abstracts will be reviewed by peers. The deadline isFebruary 29, 2016. More detailed guidelines and poster templates can be found here (link).
Special Sessions
Special sessions offer an opportunity to present a group of papers which have some common ground, like tackling a specific problem, using similar process/methods, similar application domain or geographical location of the case study. Primary goal is to have a cohesive set of presentations on a specific hot topic during the same session.
The process to submit a special session has changed. This year it will be a two-round process. In the first round you are requested to submit the special session idea and the presenters' names and topics of presentation (click here for the 1st round special session template). You can have 3-4 presenters in each special session. After filling in the template you should sent it by email to sessionproposals@isahp.org .The topics of their presentations should be within the conference's main tracks. The 1st round submission will be evaluated by the Program Committee, within one week. You can submit your special session idea until January 31, 2016. If it is accepted, you pass to the 2nd round.
For the 2nd round submission you will need to gather the papers (see template) from each participant in your special session, merge them in one file and submit this file, using the online submission process. For more detailed information, see theGuidelines. The deadline for the 2nd round submission is February 29, 2016.
Round tables
Roundtable presentations are the most flexible format offered at this conference, and may look quite different from session to session. The organizer has to gather the presenters for his Roundtable. Roundtable presenters will have about 20 minutes (total for all the presenters) of introduction, followed by 40 minutes of discussion and feedback. Roundtables are excellent venues for giving and receiving targeted feedback, engaging in in-depth discussions, and meeting colleagues with similar interests.
The submission process is very similar to the special sessions. More specifically, we have two rounds. In the first round the organizer needs to send by email tosessionproposals@isahp.org the initial idea following the given template (click here for the template). The idea will be evaluated by the Program Committee within one week from the submission. You can submit your special round table idea untilJanuary 31, 2016.
If the round table idea is accepted, you pass to the second round. This time you will need to enter the information about the round table using the online submission process. For more detailed information on the round submission process see theGuidelines. The deadline for submitting the round table is February 29, 2016.

『問題解決之「研究方法(Research Methods for Problems- Solving)」』「台北大學」冬令營

各位老師、同學們大家好!

   為提昇台北大學之研究能量與畢業學生工作能力，本校校友講座教授曾國雄親自開授『問題解決之「研究方法」(Research Methods for Problems- Solving)』冬令營(曾國雄講座教授亦為交通大學終身講座教授，第四屆國家講座、國科會傑出奨三次、國科會特約研究員兩次、暨國科會傑出特約研究員，MCDM Edgeworth-Pareto Award等獎)；參加對象為開放校內外有意願「奠定研究基礎」之教師與碩博士班研究生(含大學部三四年級特優培育學生)為原則。課程之初會將『「問題解決(Problems-Solving)」之傳統至最新及未來可能發展的「研究方法(Research Methods)」』以及『如何投稿SSCI/SCI論文之技巧與要點』加以深入淺出的介紹，及其他相關基礎課程之教學分享，爾後本研究室團隊教師及助理群協助【個案討論】或【計算方法】或【軟體操作】等方式，針對各研究方法進行深入探討與實例操作，並以實例說明(如以曾國雄教授實際在SSCI/SCI期刊刊出之論文為例)，以帶動台灣學術研究風氣與提昇研究能量。新觀念與新趨勢(New concepts and new trends)之研究方法一開始可能不能馬上聽得懂，不必擔心，不用怕，還是聽下去，多聽幾次！自然就會了!本研究群會在課堂中分享新的議題，而課堂中所分享的議題可以做為文章撰寫的「故事」，找題目實作(邊作邊學，個案分析為以【「故事個案(Story Case)」+「解決問題之研究方法」 結果表達(含「寫作的技巧(Writing Skill)」與「講的技巧( Speech Skill)」)，重點在於基本邏輯之思考與推理】)，並實作，試著投稿，就會有SSCI/SCI的研究成果產出，且可提昇工作與就業之能力；如果欲達到此研究能量之成果，「天下沒有白吃的午餐」，只要耐心學習，一步一步的達成，相信成果必能「事半功百倍」。有了成果，科技部(原國科會)計畫申請案之通過，就順理其章。
