Trust is the premise and foundation of transaction activities in E-Commerce. While conformity is an important factor which influences customers’ trust to vendors, as well as customers’ choices in online purchasing. Conformity behaviour in E-Commerce is two-ed...

this paper describes the development of a fuzzy decision support system (fdss) for the assessment of risk in e-commerce (ec) development. a web-based prototype fdss is suggested to assist ec project managers in identifying potential ec risk factors and the corresponding project risks. a risk analysis model for ec development using a fuzzy set approach is proposed and incorporated into the fdss....

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a methodology for discussing the fuzzy. Bayesian system reliability from the fuzzy component reliabilities, actually we discuss on the Fuzzy Bayesian system reliability assessment based on Pascal distribution, because the data sometimes cannot be measured and recorded precisely. In order to apply the Bayesian approach, the fuzzy parameters are assume...

The main contribution of this paper is to introduce an autonomous definition of the connective “fuzzy exclusive or” (fuzzy Xor, for short), which is independent from others connectives. Also, two canonical definitions of the connective Xor are obtained from the composition of fuzzy connectives, and based on the commutative and associative properties related to the notions of triangular norms, t...

A concise commentary on observing and modeling complexity within the framework of dynamical systems, information, and computation theories. Deterministic chaos, randomness, order, predictability, uncertainty, and complexity are contrasted. The descriptive abstraction of state is seen to be a natural extension of the symbolization necessary for language and of the number concept. Philosophical c...
