The use of ontologies based on knowledge representation architectures to support search and other decision-making problems in production environments has become a critical component of information systems. The process of building such an ontology can now take advantage of tools such as Protégé (Gennari et al. 2002) to build an ontology for any given problem domain. There has also been correspon...

diversity, accessibility and reliability are the three main factors governing the adoption of information sources by farmers in rural areas. based on the research hypothesis, the existing knowledge and information delivery system in the agricultural sector, functions far below the ever changing nature and tangible needs of existing farming systems. the main objective in this study is to determi...

The major challenge for the tomato farmers is getting a fair price at the market price given that there are many actors involved in the tomato value chain. Given this situation, this project's goal was to improve communication pathways in dissemination of agricultural market information in tomato value chains in Iringa and Dodoma Regions in Tanzania. The specific objectives were to: identify an...

Working on knowledge acquisition requires making a commitment to a particular knowledge representation. This panel will explore the implications of that commitment, focusing on the ways in which choice of a particular representation can facilitate or hinder the knowledge acquisition task. Of particular interest is the role played by the presence or absence of a formal semantics in the represent...

In this paper, associated with dominance relation, lattice theory and intuitionistic fuzzy sets theory, the lattice-valued information systems with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision are proposed and some of its properties are investigated carefully. And, an approach to knowledge reduction based on discernibility matrix in consistent latticevalued information systems with interval-va...
