Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a non-parametric method for efficiency measurement allows decision making units (DMUs) to select the most advantageous weight factors in order to maximize their efficiency scores.  In most practical applications of DEA presented in the literature, the presented models assume that all inputs are fully desirable. However, in many real situations undesirable inpu...

We describe several joint problem solving strategies for a team of multi-interest constraint-based reasoning agents. Agents y/eld in one area of conflict in order to gain concessions in another area. For example, in a distributed meeting scheduling problem, individuals with different preferences may be willing to give up the choice of the location for the meeting if allowed to choose the time o...

this study proposes a combination of a fuzzy sliding mode controller (fsmc) with integral-proportion-derivative switching surface based superconducting magnetic energy storage (smes) and pid tuned by a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve the load frequency control in power systems. the goal of design is to improve the dynamic response of power systems after load demand changes. in t...

This paper describes how the proper priority structure of non-linear goal programming (NLGP) model can be selected for obtaining economic order quantity(EOQ) of multi-item inventory problems. In the solution process, sensitivity analysis of the priority under the given weight structure of goals has been performed. A set of solution is obtained. From the solutions, the ideal solution is identifi...
