The aim of this study is to provide an analytical tool to select the best software providing the most customer satisfaction. The three type of softwares were examined and the most important criterias were taken into account by the customers while they were selecting their softwares. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process was used to compare this softwares. The means of the triangular fuzzy number...

Road networks are important for modelling the urban geographic environment. It is necessary to determine the spatial relationships of road intersections when using maps to help researchers conduct virtual urban geographic experiments (because a road intersection might occur as a connected cross or as an unconnected bridge overpass). Based on the concept of using different map layers to organize...

Abstract This chapter applies the conceptual and analytical frameworks to institutional sphere of education thereby draws systematic comparisons between two national local contexts. First, I closely examine relevant laws policies enacted at various administrative levels as well implementation practices, by drawing on documents original accounts my interview respondents. allows me map ethical co...

We propose in this paper an approach to learn term to concept mapping with the joint utilization of verb relations and an existing ontology. This is a non-supervised solution that can be applied to any field for which an ontology modeling verbs as relations holding between the concepts was already created. Conceptual graphs, representing a set of verb relations, are learned from a natural langu...

A method of mapping sets of uninterpreted record or relation schemes into entity-relationship diagrams is described and then applied to two conceptual design problems. First, the method is applied to the design of relational databases. It is shown that the method can be interpreted as a normalization procedure that maps a given relational schema into a new schema that represents an entity-relat...

Background and our research goal Divergent exploration of an ontology Background ■Ontology: It is important that the ontology captures the essential conceptual structure of the target world as generally as possible. ■Domain experts often want to understand the target world from the domain-specific viewpoints in which they are interested. In many cases their interests are different, even if they...

Visualizations of static networks in the form of node-link diagrams have evolved rapidly, though researchers are still grappling with how best to show evolution of nodes over time in these diagrams. This paper introduces NetVisia, a social network visualization system designed to support users in exploring temporal evolution in networks by using heat maps to display node attribute changes over ...

Introduction: Reflecting the intricacy of the connectivity in the brain, 3D brain tractography models are generally visually dense. Therefore, it is often difficult to ascertain tract projections as well as anatomical and functional structures clearly. In this context, we introduce a connectivity (“dependency”) map of tract projections in a framework that uses two-dimensional map representation...
