The linguistic neutrosophic numbers (LNNs) can express the truth, indeterminacy, and falsity degrees independently by three linguistic variables. Hence, they are an effective tool for describing indeterminate linguistic information under linguistic decision-making environments. Similarity measures are usual tools in decision-making problems. However, existing cosine similarity measures have bee...

Interaction among actors involved in a Web-based learning environment is widely thought of as a valuable process, in that it stimulates collaborative work and augments the effectiveness of learning itself. This may be extensively achieved by the integration of groupware tools and techniques, originally coming from the Computer-Supported Cooperative Work discipline. This paper reports on MEDIT, ...

Community source development has emerged as a new way of developing enterprise applications, leading to a unique type of open source practice involving partnership and investments from multiple organizations. A critical research question in community source development is concerned with the rationale and the economic incentives behind investments from partnering organizations. In this paper, we...

Coordination between supply chain partners is critical to effective supply chain management. In this paper, we consider two cases of decision-making structure for a simple supply chain consisting of two players: the first case in which a supply chain partner dominates the decision-making process, and the other in which two players share the decision-making process equally. According to the lite...

Mission decision-making is one of the most important techniques for cooperative combat of multiple unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), while game theory is an efficient method in solving mission decision-making. In this paper, the game theory is applied to the air combat decision of multiple UCAVs. Then a weapon model for UCAVs’ air-to-air missiles is proposed to obtain the basic probabili...

One of the trends in the decision-making field in the past 20 years has been the migration from individual decision-making to collective one. Several changes of working conditions influenced this trend: geographical dispersion due to the business internationalisation, concurrent work in order to satisfy time delays, facilitation of the information sharing induced by the development of local are...

Efficient path planning algorithms and decision-making control system are crucial issues for modern autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in complex underwater environment. In this paper, Fast Marching (FM) algorithm is used to extract cost optimal paths from complex and continuous environments, and meanwhile, we design a decision-making control system with reactive structure based on behavior. T...

Although there are a number of purported benefits of agile systems development methods over traditional forms, many in the Information Systems Development (ISD) community highlight the difficulties that the dynamic, turbulent nature of agile development environments may present. One prominent difference compared to traditional ISD projects is the emphasised presence of the customer in decision-...

Rock, Paper, Scissors (RPS) represents a unique gaming space in which the predictions of human rational decision-making can be compared with actual performance. Playing a computerized opponent adopting a mixed-strategy equilibrium, participants revealed a non-significant tendency to over-select Rock. Further violations of rational decision-making were observed using an inter-trial analysis wher...
