Manpower recruitment and training in uncertain and turbulent environments is a challenge to decision makers in large organizations. In the absence of numerical precision on market growth and the ensuing manpower demand, designing manpower planning policies is vital. Often times, companies incur losses due to overstaffing and/or understaffing. For instance, organizations lose business when criti...

In this paper we rst summarize t he more important aspects of a Logic Fuzzy Relational Database and w e s h ow h ow a fuzzy relational database can be representedand h andled using rst order logic. Given that t he results obtained for fuzzy databasesare satisfactory, we are tackling now t he problem of uncertain fuzzy databases considering that t he fuzzy values stored in the d a tabase are att...

Project selection is considered as an important problem in project management. It is multi-criteria in nature and is based on various quantitative and qualitative factors. The main purpose of this paper is to present a new rank-based method for project selection in outranking relation. According to this approach, decision alternatives were clustered in the concordance matrix and the discordance...

An adaptive fuzzy control system with supervisory controller is proposed to improve dynamic performance of three-phase active power filter APF . The proposed adaptive fuzzy controller for APF does not build an accuratemathematical model but approximates the nonlinear characteristics of APF using fuzzy approximation. The adaptive law based on the Lyapunov analysis can adaptively adjust the fuzzy...

An algorithm for solving Min-Goguen fuzzy linear systems of equations is presented in this paper. Solving subject great scientific interest. The authors have developed fast an efficient algorithms over several algebras. Here we present, relatively simple, and to solve algebra, logically backed by previously the max-min min-max
