organizational performance is a complex issue given that performance is a multifaceted phenomenon whose components may have distinct managerial priorities and may even be mutually inconsistent. recently, the balanced scorecard approach (bsc), as an effective multi-criteria evaluation concept received much attention in organizational performance measurement. although the bsc conceptual framework...

The quantification and prediction of inter-agent dependency requirements is one of the main concerns in Agent Oriented Requirements Engineering. To evaluate exertion load of an agent within resource constraints, this work provides a comparative analysis of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). ANN is widely known due to its capability of learning the...

supplier evaluation and selection is complex which caused by the dynamic and fuzzy environment. current mcdm methods do not consider the nature of the environment that can affect the process of evaluation and ranking. the aim of this study is to propose a dynamic fuzzy hybrid mcdm method for evaluation, ranking and selection. the proposed method employs fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fahp) f...

This paper designs a bidding and supplier evaluation model focused on strategic product procurement, and develops their respective evaluation knowledge bases. The model is built using the most relevant variables cited in the reviewed procurement literature and allows to compare two evaluation methods: a factor weighting method (WM) and a fuzzy inference system (FIS). By consulting an expert pan...

Ideal of Fuzzy Inference System and Manifold Deterioration Using Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization is presented. Hypoglycaemia or low blood glucose often occurs with patients that take insulin therapy for diabetes. Hypoglycaemia is serious and causes unconsciousness, seizures or even death. The proposed system uses ECG signal for the detection of hypoglycemia. To find the presen...

This article presents a new technique to detect a premature atrial contraction (PAC). The technique employs a hybrid of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and fuzzy inference system (FIS), and is called PSO-FIS. In the detection electrocardiographic features are used for the inputs of PSO-FIS. In PSO-FIS, a PSO is used to find the optimal parameters of the FIS. A Gaussian function is employed fo...

An important and difficult issue in designing a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is the specification of fuzzy sets, and fuzzy rules. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how an additional qualitative information, i.e., monotonicity property, can be exploited and extended to be part of an FIS designing procedure (i.e., fuzzy sets and fuzzy rules design). In this paper, the FIS is employed as an ...

infiltration plays an important role in surface and subsurface hydrology and it is a key factor in the rainfall and runoff equations. the use of new approaches that have no limitations of common theoretical and empirical methods to determine infiltration relationships, will minimize the necessity of time consuming and costly experiments to determine permeability values and will make it possible...

The classical analysis of real time systems tries to ensure that the instance of every task finishes before its absolute deadline (strict guarantee). The probabilistic approach tends to estimate the probability that it will happen. The deterministic timed behavior is an important parameter for analysing the robustness of the system. Most of related works are mainly based on the determinism of t...
