Viewing from the perspective of a traditional manufacturing enterprise, paper proposes fuzzy comprehensive evaluation system model, which selects most suitable supplier or suppliers to undertake supply tasks and achieve purposes reducing procurement costs improving quality reliability, so as fully meet customer demands. Based on decision-makers’ preferences suppliers’ capabilities, subjective o...

Software selection research has so far mainly focused on corporations and often assumed a rational evaluation of selection criteria. Research on consumers’ software selection is still scarce. However, findings from outside IS indicate that consumers’ software selection decisions might be biased by the choice alternatives among which software is selected. In an experiment, this study investigate...

This paper provides a survey of the applications of evolutionary algorithms in macroeconomic models. Discussion is organized around the issues related to stability of equilibria, equilibrium selection, transitional dynamics, and the long-run evolutionary dynamics di erent from rational expectations equilibrium outcomes. The survey also discusses criteria that can be used to evaluate the perform...

It is a curious feature of 20-century academia that the branch of mathematics known as rational choice theory led two of the most influential approaches to human behaviour to make completely different assumptions about the workings of the human mind. Biologists use rational choice theory to model the effects of natural selection on populations of genes. For a given range of alleles and their ph...

In response to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, leading to increasing bacterial resistance and decreasing development of new antibiotics, the Council for Appropriate and Rational Antibiotic Therapy (CARAT) has developed criteria to guide appropriate and accurate antibiotic selection. The criteria, which are aimed at optimizing antibiotic therapy, include evidence-based results, therapeuti...
