In this paper, a method for deriving a group priority vector in the Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) is proposed. By introducing importance weights of multiple decision makers (DMs) based on their experiences, the Fuzzy Preferences Programming Method (FPP) is extended to a fuzzy group prioritization problem in the FANP. Additionally, fuzzy pair-wise comparison judgments are presented rathe...

Regression testing is a very costly process performed primarily as a software maintenance activity. It is the process of retesting the modified parts of the software and ensuring that no new errors have been introduced into previously tested source code due to these modifications. A regression test selection technique selects an appropriate number of test cases from a test suite that might expo...

Regression testing is an immensely important process in the maintenance phase. The prioritization of test case becomes all the more important owing to the fact that it is not feasible to run all the test cases after each and every change. The proposed work dwells on the power of fuzzy expert system to make decisions which are better than the normal expert systems. The technique uses concepts li...

Prioritization of requirements towards finalizing the intended requirement set has considerable received attention from academicians and practitioners. Articles proposing requirement prioritization artifacts have focused mostly on describing these artifacts. There is no attempt to uncover the principles that guide the design of these artifacts towards holistic understanding of the prioritizatio...

A hierarchical framework is proposed to address the issues of modeling different type of words in keyword spotting (KWS). Keyword models are built at various levels according to the availability of training set resources for each individual word. The proposed approach improves the performance of KWS even when no training speech is available for the keywords. It also suggests an easier way to co...
