Systems-of-systems (SoS) are network-enabled synergistic collaborations between systems that are operationally and managerially independent, distributed, evolve dynamically and exhibit emergence. The design of dependable SoS requires modelbased approaches that permit description of contracts between constituent systems at interfaces in a SoS architecture, including functionality and interaction...

In this paper, new results have been obtained via sliding mode control for the hybrid chaos synchronization of identical hyperchaotic Xu systems (Xu, Cai and Zheng, 2009). In hybrid synchronization of master and slave systems, the odd states are completely synchronized, while the even states are anti-synchronized. The stability results derived in this paper for the hybrid synchronization of ide...

During the last few years, more and more researchers have been applying IFSs to multi-attribute decision making under various different situations, and a lot of work has been done (Chen and Tan 1994; Hong and Choi 2000; Xu and Yager 2006; Boran et al. 2009; Xu 2010a, c; Zhao 2009; Zhao et al. 2010; Tan and Chen 2010; Wei 2010a; Xu and Xia 2012a; Xu and Cai 2010; Wu and Chen 2011, etc.). The con...

This paper derives new results for the sliding controller design for the hybrid synchronization of identical hyperchaotic Xu systems (Xu, Cai and Zheng, 2009). In hybrid synchronization of a pair of chaotic systems consisting of master and slave systems, the odd states of the systems are completely synchronized, while the even states are anti-synchronized so that complete synchronization (CS) a...

In the original publication of article, name last author should be Yang Xu, instead Xu Yang. “Xu” is family name, and “Yang” given name.

The rapid growth of Web makes Web users or the consumers may waste a lot of time and efforts to search for information. This becomes one of the major barriers to electronic commerce. In this study, we have applied the effort-accuracy tradeoff model (Johnson & Payne, 1985; Payne, Bettman, and Johnson, 1993) and the Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1986) to study WWW search decisions. Specifical...

We prove that, if a sufficiently smooth solution u to the initial value problem associated with the equation ∂t u+ iα∂2 xu+ β∂3 xu+ iγ |u|2u+ δ|u|∂xu+ u∂xu= 0, x, t ∈R, is supported in a half line at two different instants of time then u≡ 0. To prove this result we derive a new Carleman type estimate by extending the method introduced by Kenig et al. in [Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linéair...
