MUSLIM MORALITY AS FOUNDATION FOR SOCIAL HARMONY

Social Choice Theory as a Foundation for Multiagent Systems

Social choice theory is the study of mechanisms for collective decision making. While originally concerned with modelling and analysing political decision making in groups of people, its basic principles, arguably, are equally relevant to modelling and analysing the kinds of interaction taking place in a multiagent system. In support of this position, I review examples from three strands of res...

Social Harmony Search Algorithm for Continuous Optimization

This paper presents a social harmony search algorithm to solve optimization problems with continuous design variables. Although the Harmony Search (HS) algorithm (HSA) has proven its ability in finding near global regions within a reasonable time, it is rather inefficient in performing local search. The proposed method applies the harmony search optimizer for global optimization and normal dist...

Expert Mining for Solving Social Harmony Problems

Social harmony problems are being existed in social system, which is an open giant complex system. For solving such kind of problems the Metasynthesis system approach proposed by Qian XS et al will be applied. In this approach the data, information, knowledge, model, experience and wisdom should be integrated and synthesized. Data mining, text mining and web mining are good techniques for using...

Fakhr al-Din Razi holds that knowledge is self- evident and notdefinable, while Juwaini and his pupil Ghazzali hold that the concept of knowledge is theoretical and its definition is also too hard.
