A Rough Set and GIS Based Approach for Selecting Suitable Shelters during an Evacuation Process

A GIS-Based Model to Determine Site Suitability of Emergency Evacuation Shelters

In recent years, the increase in the number of hurricanes and other costal hazards in the US pose a tremendous threat to the residents of coastal states. According to the National Hurricane Center, Florida is the most vulnerable coastal state to hurricanes. Mitigation policies have been formulated to reduce mortality and provide emergency services by evacuating people from the hazard zone. Many...

A Rough Set-based Knowledge Discovery Process

The knowledge discovery from real-life databases is a multi-phase process consisting of numerous steps, including attribute selection, discretization of realvalued attributes, and rule induction. In the paper, we discuss a rule discovery process that is based on rough set theory. The core of the process is a soft hybrid induction system called the Generalized Distribution Table and Rough Set Sy...

A Decision Framework for Selecting a Suitable Software Development Process

Dominance-Based Rough Set Approach for Decision Analysis - A Tutorial

Scientific analysis of decision problems aims at giving the decision maker (DM) a recommendation concerning a set of objects (called also alternatives, solutions, acts, actions, cases, candidates) evaluated from the point of view of a plurality of their characteristics considered relevant for the problem at hand, and called attributes. For example, a decision can regard: 1) diagnosis of patholo...

A Rough Set Based Approach for ECG Classification

An inference engine for classification of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is developed with the help of a rule based rough set decision system. For this purpose an automated data extraction system from ECG strips is being developed by using a few image processing techniques. A knowledge base is developed after consulting different medical books as well as feedback of reputed cardiologists on in...
