Fuzzy approaches to improve decision making within business applications are widely spread. However, these solutions are often restricted to special areas, and are less than fully integrated into company-wide business application systems. We propose to use a common way to represent fuzzy information to soften this lack of integration. In this paper, we introduce a formal syntax for important fu...

Most of the existing approaches for fuzzy reliability analysis are based on fuzzy probability.  The aim of this paper is to describe fuzzy reliability using fuzzy differential equation. The reliability of a system in real world applications is affected by some uncertain parameters. Fuzzy reliability is a way to present the reliability function uncertainly using fuzzy parameters. In the proposed...

For the purpose of the sustainable development in the global semiconductor industry, emerging three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC) integration technologies have demonstrated their importance as potential candidates for extending the lifespan of Moore’s Law. This study aimed to explore a technology selection process involving a three-stage fuzzy multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) approa...

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...

The integration of distinct reasoning styles such as the ones exploited by description logics and rule-based systems is still an open challenge because of the differences among them. Such integration may be achieved by following two complementary approaches: loose integration vs. tight integration. Loosely integrated hybrid systems couple existing tools, so they have to handle mutual interactio...

The fuzzy integrals are a kind of fuzzy measures acting on fuzzy sets. They can be viewed as an average membershipvalue of fuzzy sets. The value of the fuzzy integral in a decision making environment where uncertainty is presenthas been well established. Most of the integral inequalities studied in the fuzzy integration context normally considerconditions such as monotonicity or comonotonicity....
