In order to provide more precise decision-makings for agricultural producers, an intelligent forecasting system is proposed for agricultural applications in this paper, which processes data stream collected from agricultural environment applying WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) technology. Sensor data stream is different from other traditional stream, the former is characterized by real-time, sequ...

This special issue encompasses five papers devoted to the recent developments in the field of Computing with Words and Decision Making. The issue originated from presentations at the “8th International FLINS Conference on Computational Intelligence in Decision and Control” that was held in Madrid, Spain, September 21–24th, 2008. Every paper for the special issue was reviewed by at least two ref...

In data warehousing, Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) extracts the data from data sources into a central data warehouse regularly for the support of business decision-makings. The data from transaction processing systems are featured with the high frequent changes of insertion, update, and deletion. It is challenging for ETL to propagate the changes to the data warehouse, and maintain the change hi...

Due to the rapid development of computers and their applications, early software quality prediction in software industry becomes more and more crucial. Software quality prediction model is very helpful for decision-makings such as the allocation of resource in module verification and validation. Nevertheless, due to the complicated situations of software development process in the early stage, ...

When conducting location-based decision makings, people often rely on geospatial cognition to the real space than the exact physical distance in the real world. In fact, distance based on people’s geospatial cognition is useful in many respects of urban life. In this paper, we measure psychological proximity of urban areas by borrowing crowd’s experiences easily available from location-based so...

Behavior is comprised of decisions made from moment to moment (i.e., to respond one way or another). Often, the decision maker cannot be certain of the value to be accrued from the decision (i.e., the outcome value). Decisions made under outcome value uncertainty form the basis of the economic framework of decision making. Behavior is also based on perception-perception of the external physical...

In signal detection theory (SDT), responses are governed by perceptual noise and a flexible decision criterion. Recent criticisms of SDT (see, e.g., Balakrishnan, 1999) have identified violations of its assumptions, and researchers have suggested that SDT fundamentally misrepresents perceptual and decision processes. We hypothesize that, instead, these violations of SDT stem from decision noise...
