Fuzzy Cognitive Map is recognized as an important model in soft computing. The theory studies often treat uncertainty modeling and dynamic separately. So far, there no single that can deal with uncertain data environments simultaneously. This paper proposed environment to describe the link between changing weights environment. As extensions of classic Grey Map, two models were designed implemen...

abstract present study aims to identify influential dimensions affecting level of entrepreneurs' decision maker cognitive complexity with regard to the importance of cognition and its complex pattern on the process of entrepreneurial decision making. qualitative stage of this mix method research was conducted at early stage by formation of a focus group consisted of superior entrepreneurs in 20...

A fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM) is a cognitive map within the relations between the elements. FCM has been widely used in many applications such as experts system and knowledge engineering. However, classical FCM is inherently short of sufficient capability of representing and aggregating uncertain information. In this paper, generalized FCM (GFCM) is proposed based on genetic algorithm and interv...

Cognitive maps are powerful graphical models for knowledge representation. They offer an easy means to express individual’s judgments, thinking or beliefs about a given problem. However, drawing inferences in cognitive maps, especially when the problem is complex, may not be an easy task. The main reason of this limitation in cognitive maps is that they do not model uncertainty with the variabl...

Cognitive maps are valuable tools for understanding individual and group perceptions. But developing such maps is a resource intensive activity. To reduce required resources, group support system (GSS) technology is proposed as an aid in uncovering cognitive maps. A GSS session was used to develop a cognitive map of users' of object-oriented (OO) techniques perceptions of OO system complexity. ...

Spatial relations of our environment are represented in cognitive maps. These cognitive maps are prone to various distortions (e.g., alignment and hierarchical effects) caused by basic cognitive factors (such as perceptual and conceptual reorganization) but also by affectively loaded and attitudinal influences. Here we show that even differences in attitude towards a single person representing ...
