This paper presents a way to combine outcomes of various studies in a meta analysis framework that can use the results of mixed methods and also provide query based output for intelligent decision making. We enhance the Qualitative Comparative Analysis by utilizing fuzzy logic programming to provide effective ways of combining output of various studies. The results from various studies are used...

In this document we carry out a comparative analysis of the application of Fuzzy Logic Controllers (hereinafter FLCs), Fuzzy Temporal Rules-Based Controllers (hereinafter FTRCs), Temporal Fuzzy Logic Controllers (hereinafter TFLCs) and Faded Temporal fuzzy Logic Controllers (hereinafter FTFLCs), to improve the adaptive distributed routing. To obtain a good knowledge base the controllers were ev...

1. General remarks Boolean valued analysis is a branch of functional analysis which uses a special model-theoretic technique that is embodied in the Boolean valued models of set theory. The term was coined by G. Takeuti. The invention of Boolean valued models was not connected with the theory of Boolean algebras but rather has revealed a gemstone among the diverse applications of the latter. It...

In this document we cany out a comparative analysis of the reasoning strategies implemented in Fuzzy Logic Controllers (hereinafter FLCs) and Faded Temporal Fuzzy Logic Controllers (hereinafter FTFLCs). Starting from the problems associated to FLCs, we propose as a solution the use of FTFLCs. To improve the process of knowledge achievement in FTFLCs, it is introduced a mixed technique which com...

This paper contributes to a more systematic understanding of the link between government supported social assistance programs and social exclusion which are viewed as a complex social phenomenon. In the paper, social exclusion is defined as at-high-riskof-poverty rate and low work intensity. The primary focus of the paper is on the underlying causal processes and combinations of relevant condit...

The whole mathematical scenario has changed with the advent of the Rough Set Theory, a powerful tool to deal with uncertainty and incompleteness of knowledge in information system. With the advancement of research, the Soft Set Theory has emerged as an advanced mathematical tool to deal with data associated with uncertainty. The present chapter endeavors to forge a connection between soft set a...

Considering corruption as one of the chronic harms of the administrative system,and the social factor affecting economic growth, the present study sought toexplain, for the first time, the differences in the perceived levels of corruptionamong 16 Southwest Asian countries, relying on the sociological “newinstitutionalism” theory in analyzing organizations, describing cau...

This study aims to identify the configurational conditions that characterize establishment of biorefineries in 20 European countries. After determining which support a bioeconomy transition, secondary data from national sources are used represent their existing within respective Then, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis is employed compare and contrast effect varying combinations selecte...
