in recent years, the problem of selecting and evaluating the suppliers in supply chain management has aroused considerable interest in business firms. owing to the development of information systems, reaching an appropriate decision for adopting discrete methods is a need. the researchers intend to present a new model in this paper as a contributing factor in the grey environment in which the r...

We present the design of a BPEL orchestration engine based on ReSpecT tuple centres, a coordination model extending Linda with the ability of declaratively programming the reactive behaviour of tuple spaces. Architectural and linguistic aspects of our solution are discussed, focussing on how the syntax and semantics of BPEL have been mapped to tuple centres. This is achieved by a translation of...

In this contribution a new interpretation of a symmetrical threshold semantics for a linguistic Information Retrieval Systems (IRS) is presented. It is modeled by means of a new linguistic matching function defined using a 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic approach. It softens the behaviour of symmetrical threshold semantics by processing in a more consistent way the query threshold weights, and in such...

Decision power is very important in group decision making, which effects the final decision making result. When there exists uncertainty in group decision making, it is easy for an expert to express his/her preferences using fuzzy linguistic term such as ‘good’, ‘very good’. The linguistic 2-tuple representation model was selected to represent fuzzy linguistic term for its accuracy in represent...
