Game theory models decision makers' behaviors in strategic situations. Since the structures of games are different, behavior and preferences of the players are different in various types of game. This paper reviews various situations of games. Here, characteristics of some common games are discussed and compared. Specifically, we focus on a group of games called symmetric games including Prison...

This paper examines the issue of handling outputs in DEA that occur at different stages in time. In some situations, the output set occur at the different period of time, meaning that the produced outputs at the first period of time impact on the production of outputs of next time . This problem setting gives rise to the phenomenon of time-staged outputs. Specifically, the two outputs occur at ...

Current machine perception techniques that typically use segmentation followed by object recognition lack the required robustness to cope with the large variety of situations encountered in real-world navigation. Many existing techniques are brittle in the sense that even minor changes in the expected task environment (e.g., diierent lighting conditions, geometrical distortion, etc.) can severe...

A real-time and gesture controlled voice synthesis software is applied to edutainment in the field of voice pedagogy. The main goals are teaching how voice works and what makes the differences between voices in an interactive, real-time and audio-visual perspective. The project is based on ”Cantor Digitalis”, a singing vowel digital instrument, featuring an improved formant synthesizer controll...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is an approach to measure the relative efficiency of decision-making units with multiple inputs and multiple outputs using mathematical programming. In the traditional DEA, it is assumed that we know the input or output role of each performance measure. But in some situations, the type of performance measure is unknown. These performance measures are called flexi...

Facility location-allocation (FLA) problem, which has been proved to be a valuable method in siting service facility, is widely used in real life, such as emergency service systems, telecommunication networks, public services, etc. However, in real-world situations, the decision maker often lack the information about the customers’ demands, which leads to the FLA problem in uncertain environmen...

Visually impaired users often have to get familiar with numerous audio signals, which help them to navigate in space. The learning process is often time consuming and requires a human guide (or assistant) while moving through (testing) space. Orientation and mobility training can also expose individuals to significant hazards due to the unpredictable physical variables present in real-world nav...

Conflict analysis has been used as an important tool in economic, business, governmental and political dispute, games, management negotiations, military operations and etc. There are many mathematical formal models have been proposed to handle conflict situations and one of the most popular is rough set theory. With the ability to handle vagueness from the conflict data set, rough set theory ha...
