Today, information networks play an important role in supply chain management. Therefore, in this article, clustering-based routing protocols, which are one of the most important ways to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks, are used to optimize the supply chain informational cloud network. Accordingly, first, a clustering protocol is presented using self-organizing map neu...

the ways of placing decision making units (dmus) in certain clusters are found as a subject in statistics, these ways usually are heuristic. the proposed clustering approach in this article considers preferences of dmus. this study applies data envelopment analysis (dea) dmus are clustered by solving multi-objective linear problem (molp) and by considering preferences of each dmu at production ...

one of the most important aspects of software project management is the estimation of cost and time required for running information system. therefore, software managers try to carry estimation based on behavior, properties, and project restrictions. software cost estimation refers to the process of development requirement prediction of software system. various kinds of effort estimation patter...

this paper presents a comparative study between three versions of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) algorithms and a pseudo-forward equation (pfe) to characterize the north sea reservoir (f3 block) based on seismic data. according to the statistical studies, four attributes (energy, envelope, spectral decomposition and similarity) are known to be useful as fundamental attributes in ...

The fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is a useful tool for clustering; but it is convenient only for crisp complete data. In this article, an enhancement of the algorithm is proposed which is suitable for clustering trapezoidal fuzzy data. A linear ranking function is used to define a distance for trapezoidal fuzzy data. Then, as an application, a method based on the proposed algorithm is pres...
