Abstract:

This paper provides a Fuzzy based decision support system (DSS) for risk analysis in E-tourism ( Electronic Tourism ) investment. In general term, E-tourism is the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in tourism which may allow operating tourism in least variable cost, least time and increased work efficiency. It is worth noting that there are many factors that affect the development of E-tourism. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the system, four factors of investment, human IT skill, E-tourism infrastructure and stability of the regions are considered in the present study. These parameters are fuzzified and a fuzzy rule-base has been developed for calculating risk factor for the E-tourism investment. The researchers used MATLAB software for fuzzifying the factors and gain the final risk. Case studies have been presented using the developed model. It shows that the investment possibility in developed region is high with low risk to invest.

Fuzzy model for risk analysis

The goal of this paper is to show how the concept of fuzzy logic can be used to establish a degree to which an investment project belongs to a class of risk. Also, the probability of the fuzzy event is presented and is ap-plied to calculate the probability of the fuzzy event “the project X is a good investment”. This process has to enable the decision maker to compare several alternative invest...

Risk Analysis in E-commerce via Fuzzy Logic

This paper describes the development of a fuzzy decision support system (FDSS) for the assessment of risk in E-commerce (EC) development. A Web-based prototype FDSS is suggested to assist EC project managers in identifying potential EC risk factors and the corresponding project risks. A risk analysis model for EC development using a fuzzy set approach is proposed and incorporated into the FDSS....

Fuzzy interval methods in investment risk appraisal

Standard .nancial techniques neglect extreme situations and regards large market shifts as too unlikely to matter. This approach may account for what occurs most of the time in the market, but the picture it presents does not re2ect the reality, as major events happen in the residual time and investors are ‘surprised’ by ‘unexpected’ market movements. An alternative fuzzy approach permits 2uctu...
