Greetings and welcome to the third issue of IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL SOCIAL SYSTEMS (TCSS) for 2023. The authors are delighted share some exciting news with our esteemed readership.

simultaneous with the industries increasing growth, thecompanies must acquire the new technologies to achieve the core competency,survival and improvement and also effectiveness in market. choosingthe suitable acquisition mode of required technology is one of thecritical strategic decisions in the field of technology management. dueto the importance of technology acquisition, the main objective...

This paper shows a way to treat the different and sometimes contradictory opinions from a group of experts to reach a global agreement about potential future scenarios in strategic planning. To achieve this objective we have worked on the development of a methodology and a software tool that permits the creation of possible future scenarios from individual opinions. The methodology and the soft...

This paper presents the methodology to perform sensitivity analysis for impedance-based fault location methods, considering power distribution systems and the presence of distributed generation. The proposed methodology helps to determine the power distribution system model parameters, which significantly affect the fault locator performance. Having identified such parameters, the next step is ...

In this work, we propose a new technique for efficiently exploring a multiobjective design space to find non-dominated solutions in the presence of uncertainty. Our approach uses a two-stage optimization technique. In the first-stage, the design problem is represented by a multi-objective optimization problem considering the performances associated with design parameters. In the second stage, t...

In the field of model checking, abstraction refinement has proved to be an extremely successful methodology for combating the state-space explosion problem. However, little practical progress has been made in the setting of probabilistic verification. In this paper we present a novel abstraction-refinement framework for Markov decision processes (MDPs), which are widely used for modelling and v...

This paper examined whether the revised enlargement methodology represented another step in direction of gradual EU membership Western Balkans. The research problem was based on considerations that domain has for years been characterized by political stagnation. aimed to show a differentiated accession approach might have beneficial Serbia, as front-runner candidate. In terms methods, author an...
