The earned value technique is a crucial and important technique in analysis and control the performance and progress of mega projects by integrating three elements of them, i.e., time, cost and scope. This paper proposes a new version of earned value analysis (EVA) to handle uncertainty in mega projects under interval-valued fuzzy (IVF)-environment. Considering that uncertainty is very common i...

it is firstly proved that the multi-input-single-output (miso) fuzzy systems based on interval-valued $r$- and $s$-implications can approximate any continuous function defined on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy.  a formula to compute the lower upper bounds on the number  of interval-valued fuzzy sets needed to achieve a pre-specified approximation  accuracy for an arbitrary multivariate con...

The earned value technique is an essential technique in analyzing and controlling the performance of a project by providing a more accurate measurement of both project performance and project progress. This paper presents an approach to deal with fuzzy earned value indices. This includes developing new indices under fuzzy circumstances and evaluating them using alpha cut method. The model impro...

in this paper, the notions of $(t,s)$-composition matrix and$(t,s)$-interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy equivalence matrix areintroduced where $(t,s)$ is a dual pair of triangular module. theyare the generalization of composition matrix and interval-valuedintuitionistic fuzzy equivalence matrix. furthermore, theirproperties and characterizations are presented. then a new methodbased on $tilde{...

The earned value technique is a crucial technique in analyzing and controlling the performance of a project which allows a more accurate measurement of both the performance and the progress of a project. This paper presents a new fuzzy-based earned value model with the advantage of developing and analyzing the earned value indices, and the time and the cost estimates at completion under uncerta...

The aim of this paper is to define the productoperation on a family of interval valued events and the notion ofjoint interval valued observable. We show the connection betweenproduct operations for interval valued events and intuitionisticfuzzy events, too. We display the relation between joint intervalvalued observable and joint intuitionistic fuzzy observable. We...

The aim of this paper is investigate the notion of a generalized interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy number (GIVIFN), which extends the interval valuedintuitionistic fuzzy number. Firstly, the concept of GIVIFNBs is introduced.Arithmetic operations and cut sets over GIVIFNBBs are investigated. Then the values and ambiguities of the membership degree and the non-membership degree and the value ...

To the Editor: Although I enjoyed the article titled “Value-Based Software Engineering: A Case Study” (Barry Boehm and Li Guo Huang, March 2003, pp. 33-41), as a newly minted Project Management Professional and a contributor to the Project Management Institute’s Earned Value Analysis team, I was disappointed with the authors’ use of nonstandard terminology. The authors renamed the traditional t...
