Imagine you have traveled to an unfamiliar city. Before you start your daily tour around the city, you need to know a good route. In Network Theory (NT), this is the traveling salesman problem (TSP). A dynamic programming algorithm is often used for solving this problem. However, when the road network of the city is very complicated and dense, which is usually the case, it will take too long fo...

This study examines the differences between strategic systems audit approach compared with traditional based audit approach and its impact on development of auditors’ knowledge of the client’s business, has been discussed. Strategic systems audit approach advocates argue that this approach creates a better development of auditors’ knowledge of the client’s business than the traditional-based au...

In this paper, we overview the recently introduced general framework of Description Logic Based Dynamic Systems, which leverages Levesque’s functional approach to model systems that evolve the extensional part of a description logic knowledge base by means of actions. This framework is parametric w.r.t. the adopted description logic and the progression mechanism. In this setting, we discuss ver...

As an alternative to the price-based traditional auction model, the multi-attribute auction model is an integrated model requiring the simultaneous trade of different types of attributes as the sellers and buyers deal. As a result, the design and modeling of the auction mechanism have become very difficult. This paper proposes a multiattribute auction model using the dominance-based rough sets ...

This study differs from previous ones applying multivariate statistical analysis and multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. We use the Variable Consistency Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (VC-DRSA) to formulate airline service strategies by generating airline service decision rules thatmodelpassengerpreferences for airline servicequality. Flowgraphsare applied to inferdecision rul...
