We present a fuzzy version of description logics with concrete domains. Main features are: (i) concept constructors are based on t-norm, t-conorm, negation and implication; (ii) concrete domains are fuzzy sets; (iii) fuzzy modifiers are allowed; and (iv) the reasoning algorithm is based on a mixture of completion rules and bounded mixed integer programming.

In real projects, the trade-off between the project cost and the project completion time, and the environmental uncertainty are aspects of considerable importance for managers. For complex environment with more than one type of uncertainty, this paper presents three types of time–cost trade-off models, in which the project environment is described via introducing the fuzzy random theory. The ex...

In real-life situations, the project manager must handle multiple conflicting goals and these conflicting goals are normally fuzzy owing to information is incomplete and unavailable. This study develops a two-phase fuzzy goal programming (FGP) method for solving the project management (PM) decision problems with multiple goals in uncertain environments. The original multi-objective linear progr...

Fuzzy extension of Description Logics (DLs) allows the formal representation and handling of fuzzy or vague knowledge. In this paper, we consider the problem of reasoning with fuzzy-EL, which is a fuzzy extension of EL+. We first identify the challenges and present revised completion classification rules for fuzzy-EL that can be handled by MapReduce programs. We then propose an algorithm for sc...

'Classic' occlusion examples, such as a square partly occluded by a rectangle, have given rise to so-called local and global accounts of amodal completion. Without denying the influence of local configurations, I take the position that, in the long run, any theory of amodal completion should account for global properties. After a brief review of local and global accounts, two extensions of the ...
