Recommender systems evaluate and filter the great amount of information available on the Web to assist people in their search processes. A fuzzy evaluation method of Standard Generalized Markup Language documents based on computing with words is presented. Given a document type definition (DTD), we consider that its elements are not equally informative. This is indicated in the DTD by defining ...

The primary objective of the water purification process is to remove harmful chemical compounds and microorganisms from sources in order produce suitable for human consumption. Water satisfies demand drinkable water, which a requirement many industries, including medical, pharmaceutical, among others. Access purified single most important factor determining nation’s strength prosperity. As cons...

In this paper, we present two Pythagorean fuzzy averaging aggregation operators such as, Pythagorean fuzzy weighted averaging (PFWA) operator, Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (PFOWA) operator and also introduce some of their basic properties.

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems with fuzzy linguistic information. Motivated by the ideal of generalized Bonferroni mean, we develop the generalized fuzzy linguistic Bonferroni Mean (GFLBM) operator for aggregating the fuzzy linguistic information. For the situations where the input arguments have different importance, we then define the gene...

This paper presents quality Clay-Brick selection process based on intuitionistic fuzzy multi criteria group decision making through grey relational analysis. Brick plays an important role in construction field. Intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging operator is used to aggregate individual opinions of decision makers into a group opinion. Six criteria are considered for selection process and t...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making(MADM) problems for evaluating the security of wireless sensor networks with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information. We utilize the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid geometric (IVIFHG) operator to aggregate the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers corresponding to each alternative and derive the over...

Failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) is a commonly adopted approach to defining, assessing, reducing possible failures in designs, systems, processes, products, services. Traditional FMECA ranks the failure modes of products based on risk priority number (RPN), which obtained by multiplying elements. Conventional has shortcomings badly handling unknown information unreasonably ...

Sometimes, an individual may have vague information about the preference degree between two alternatives and can not estimate his preferences with an exact numerical value. Then, a possible approach is to use linguistic assessments instead of numerical values, that is, to suppose that the preference relations are assessed by means of linguistic terms. A scale of certainty expressions, linguisti...

Information retrieval is an activity that implies to achieve documents that better fulfil the user information needs. For achieving this activity an Information Retrieval System uses matching functions which specify the degree of relevance of a document with respect to a user query. Assuming linguistic weighted queries we present a new linguistic matching function for a threshold weighting sema...
