Recent advances in communication technologies have great impact on location determination systems. Location determination systems are deployed in almost every building, from hospitals where the location of patients and doctors or any medical equipment can be determined, or sending information to customers based on their location and capability, to organize the traffic and reducing congestion in...

Computing the output of fuzzy systems usually passes through three stages i.e. fuzzification, inference, and defuzzification. The computation of the output requires too many operations and considerable time. This apparently discourages the use of fuzzy systems in time-critical applications. In this paper, a new two-stage representation of fuzzy systems, which reduces the operations needed to co...

This is the beginning of a research stream focused on examining information systems research from a stage theory perspective. This paper outline the approach proposed by first giving a detailed look at stage theory in general and then stage theory as it has been applied to information systems specifically. The paper then moves on to discuss a proposed methodology to investigate this phenomenon....

Background: Systems Medicine is a novel approach to medicine, that is, an interdisciplinary field considers the human body as system, composed of multiple parts and complex relationships at levels, further integrated into environment. Exploring implies understanding combining concepts coming from diametral different fields, including biology, statistics, modeling simulation, data science. Such ...
