Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are very costly and difficult to be implemented. Organizations need to be ready for implementing them. They require assessing their current readiness and then, they can perform a range of activities to improve their readiness. The ERP readiness is influenced by many factors which are interrelated and any improvement in one of them has direct and indire...

Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is series of best practices that helps Information technology Organizations to provide Information technology (IT) services for their customers with better performances and quality. This a rticle is looking for a way to implement ITIL in an organization and also using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) to model the problem for better understanding of...

This article lies within the interactive virtual stories telling scope and proposes the use of fuzzy cognitive maps as a tool to model emotional behavior of virtual actors improvising in free interaction within the framework of a “nouvelle vague” scenario, as could Godard do. We show how fuzzy cognitive maps can be delocalized on each agent level to model autonomous agents within a virtual worl...

Azad [1] introduced the concepts of fuzzy semi-open sets and fuzzy semi-continuous mappings. Fuzzy α-open sets and fuzzy α-continuous functions were introduced by Mashhour et. al. [4] and Singal et. al. [6] respectively. The concepts of fuzzy pre-open sets and fuzzy pre-continuous mappings were introduced by Bin Sahana [2]. In this paper the concepts of fuzzy α-quotient maps, fuzzy semi quotien...

In this paper, a fuzzy production inventory model with resalable returns has been analysed in an imprecise and uncertain environment by considering the cost and revenue parameters as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The main objective is to determine the optimal fuzzy production lotsize which maximizes the expected profit where the products leftout at the end of the period are salvaged and demands wh...

Recently, special attention has been paid to artificial groundwater recharge in water resource management in arid and semi-arid regions. Water resources distribution in these regions is extremely uneven, both in spatial and temporal forms and groundwater is the only water resource and is a major constraint on economic and social development. Artificial groundwater recharge is considered an appr...

in front wheels driven vehicles, fuel economy can be obtained by summing torques applied to rear wheels. on the other hand, unequal torques applied to rear wheels provides enhanced safety. in this paper, a model with seven degrees of freedom is considered for the vehicle body. thereafter, power-train subsystems are modeled. considering an electrical machine on each rear wheel, a fuzzy controlle...
