Electronic mail (e-mail) has been considered as one of the most convenient way to communicate among the users in the Internet. The rapid growth of users in the Internet and the abuse of e-mail by unsolicited users cause an exponential increase of e-mails in user mailboxes. Although there are several systems which use different AI techniques to filter out spam, there is hardly any system develop...

The evaluation is an important approach to promote the development of the E-Government. Since the rapid development of E-Government in the world, the E-Government performance evaluation has become a hot issue in the academia. In this paper, we develop a new evaluation method for the development of the E-Government based on the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set which is a powerful techniq...

In this paper, the relationships between semicontinuity and preinvexity of fuzzy mappings are investigated. The concepts of intermediate-point preinvex fuzzy mappings and weakly preinvex fuzzy mappings are first introduced, and the authors establish a characterization for a weakly preinvex fuzzy mapping in terms of its epigraph. In this context, a characterization of a preinvex fuzzy mapping in...

Today, communications, information networks, e-Commerce, e-Education, and all other e-Services and infrastructures tend to play a major role in our daily life and global economy. Nowadays, in modern society, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is the force that drives productivity and creates a higher standard of living. The growing dependence on such systems, however, increased the...

I N T R O D U C T I O N Since most of practical decision problems are fuzzy and approximate, fuzzy decision making becomes one of the most impor tan t practical approaches. However, the result ing problems are frequently complicated and difficult to solve. One effective way to...

The theory of fuzzy measures and fuzzy integrals was introduced by S u g e n o [16] and intensively studied. Monographs [15] and [18] are dedicated to this topic. Recently, several classical inequalities were generalized to fuzzy integral. F l o r e sF r a n u l i č and R o m á n-F l o r e s [11] provided a Chebyshev type inequality for fuzzy integral of continuous and strictly monotone functio...

Along with the breakthrough of networking, communications, and information technology, ECommerce gains rapid development in recent years. Trust is the premise and foundation of transaction activities in E-Commerce. While conformity is an important factor which influences customers’ trust to vendors, as well as customers’ choices in online purchasing. Conformity behaviour in E-Commerce is two-ed...

this paper describes the development of a fuzzy decision support system (fdss) for the assessment of risk in e-commerce (ec) development. a web-based prototype fdss is suggested to assist ec project managers in identifying potential ec risk factors and the corresponding project risks. a risk analysis model for ec development using a fuzzy set approach is proposed and incorporated into the fdss....

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a methodology for discussing the fuzzy. Bayesian system reliability from the fuzzy component reliabilities, actually we discuss on the Fuzzy Bayesian system reliability assessment based on Pascal distribution, because the data sometimes cannot be measured and recorded precisely. In order to apply the Bayesian approach, the fuzzy parameters are assume...

The main contribution of this paper is to introduce an autonomous definition of the connective “fuzzy exclusive or” (fuzzy Xor, for short), which is independent from others connectives. Also, two canonical definitions of the connective Xor are obtained from the composition of fuzzy connectives, and based on the commutative and associative properties related to the notions of triangular norms, t...
