one of the most important measures needed to be done in times of crisis is to optimize the allocation and distribution of resources among individuals. time is a critical factor effective to increase the number of people rescued by the relief activities.in this paper, we present a relief vehicle routing model in the affected area which uses covering tour approach to reduce total response time. a...

Since that a job usually contains several working procedures in actual production, and it’s hard to optimize the flexible collaborative planning, the flexible lot splitting and scheduling of the job simultaneously in batch production mode, a model for multiobjective integration of flexible collaborative planning and fuzzy lot-splitting scheduling is established. We take four performance indicat...

In order to measure fuzzy event, credibility measure is proposed as a non-additive set function. In this paper, this concept is extended to fuzzy sets. First, a mean measure is defined by Lebesgue integral and some properties are investigated such as the monotonicity theorem, self-duality theorem and subadditivity theorem. Furthermore, by using Sugeno integral, an equilibrium measure is propose...

In this paper, we present the findings of a qualitative analysis of 15,750 comments left by 2,041 participants in a Reconcile web credibility evaluation study. While assessing the credibility of the presented pages, respondents of the Reconcile studies were also asked to justify their ratings in writing. This work attempts to give an insight into the factors that affected the credibility assess...

This paper presents a survey on the ex isting methods for the stability analysis of fuzzy control systems including both conventional Mamdani s rule based fuzzy controllers and Takagi Sugeno controllers The overview considers several approaches including input output stability frequency response methods Lyapunov techniques and qualitative methods The paper also sumarizes the new stability techn...

This thesis in Computer Science is part of the trust management field and more specifically recommendation systems. These systems are usually based on users’ experiences (i.e., qualitative / quantitative) interacting with Web resources (eg. Movies, videos andWeb services). Recommender systems are undermined by three types of uncertainty that raises due to users’ ratings and identities that can ...

In this paper, we review two of the most well-known citation indexes and establish their connections with the Choquet and Sugeno integrals. In particular, we show that the recently established -index is a particular case of the Sugeno integral, and that the number of citations corresponds to the Choquet integral. In both cases, they use the same fuzzy measure. The results presented here permit ...

The design of weight is one of the important parts in fuzzy decision making, as it would have a deep effect on the evaluation results. Entropy is one of the weight measure based on objective evaluation. Non--probabilistic-type entropy measures for fuzzy set and interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FS) have been developed and applied to weight measure. Since the entropy for (IT2FS) for decision making...

in this paper, a maximum likelihood estimation and a minimum entropy estimation for the expected value and variance of normal fuzzy variable are discussed within the framework of credibility theory. as an application, a credibilistic portfolio selection model is proposed, which is an improvement over the traditional models as it only needs the predicted values on the security returns instead of...
