agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

This paper studies optimal power allocation to minimize symbol error rate (SER) of amplify-and-forward cooperative diversity networks. First, we analytically solve optimal power allocation problem to minimize SER for three different scenarios, namely, multi-branch single-relay, single-branch multi-relay and multi-branch multi-relay cooperative diversity networks, all subject to a given total re...

this study proposes a combination of a fuzzy sliding mode controller (fsmc) with integral-proportion-derivative switching surface based superconducting magnetic energy storage (smes) and pid tuned by a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve the load frequency control in power systems. the goal of design is to improve the dynamic response of power systems after load demand changes. in t...

environmental factors are one of the most sensitive issues that should be considered in many decisions. site selection is one of the most widely used spatial decision making problems and is influenced by many environmental factors. the purpose of site selection is to find a set of appropriate spatial alternatives for a particular application. site selection is a multi-criteria decision making p...

In this paper, a multi-agent system for metalearning in the data mining domain is presented. The system provides a user with intelligent features, such as recommendation of suitable data mining techniques for a new dataset, parameter tuning of such techniques, and building up a metaknowledge base. The architecture of the system, together with different user scenarios, and the way they are handl...

Scenario analysis often is used to determine bottlenecks in multimodal transportation and logistics chains. Bottleneck-analysis itself is a process related approach to identify shortages in multimodal transportation and logistics supply chains, and concerned with analysis of resource planes, optimization of multimodal transportation chains, consideration of timeliness and concurrency using reso...

The reuse of structural components in new buildings has great potential to reduce the environmental impacts construction sector but remains uncommon practice. An obstacle its wider implementation is lack robust assessment methods and decision-making tools that consider full spectrum benefits drawbacks. This paper proposes a multi-criteria decision framework builds on simulated set design altern...

The purpose of this article is twofold: first to introduce a multi attribute decision making model for radio frequency identification system consisting of four main criteria and five alternatives, and second to develop and solve the proposed fuzzy TOPSIS problem. Author presented an effective fuzzy multi-criteria method based upon the fuzzy model and the concepts of positive ideal and negative ...
