Principles of the Delphi Parallel Inference Machine

Implementing Prolog Extensions: a Parallel Inference Machine

We present in this paper a general inference machine for building a large class of meta-interpreters. In particular, this machine is suitable for implementing extensions of Prolog with non-classical logics. We give the description of the abstract machine model and an implementation of this machine in a fast language (ADA), along with a discussion on why and how parallelism can easily increase s...

Design of the Kernel Language for the Parallel Inference Machine

determination of maximal singularity free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulator

due to the limiting workspace of parallel manipulator and regarding to finding the trajectory planning of singularity free at workspace is difficult, so finding a best solution that can develop a technique to determine the singularity-free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulators is highly important. in this thesis a simple and new technique are presented to determine the maximal singula...

Methodological Principles and Applications of the Delphi Method: A Narrative Review

Background and Objectives: The appearance of complex issues with insufficient information has resulted in the consensus or unanimity spread. The consensus methods include the nominal group and the Delphi method.The Delphi method is a systematic process to predict and help making decision through survey rounds and information gathering and finally the group consensus. This method has been design...

The application of fuzzy Delphi and fuzzy inference system in supplier ranking and selection

In today’s highly rival market, an effective supplier selection process is vital to the success of any manufacturing system. Selecting the appropriate supplier is always a difficult task because suppliers posses varied strengths and weaknesses that necessitate careful evaluations prior to suppliers’ ranking. This is a complex process with many subjective and objective factors to consider ...
