The present paper deals with formal concept analysis of data with fuzzy attributes. We clarify several points of a new approach of [S.Q. Fan, W.X. Zhang, Variable threshold concept lattice, Inf. Sci., accepted for publication] which is based on using thresholds in concept-forming operators. We show that the extentand intent-forming operators from [S.Q. Fan, W.X. Zhang, Inf. Sci., accepted for p...

Globalization and interdisciplinarity are current trends in engineering fields, nevertheless such engineering projects, implying different companies, cultures and disciplines are complex and require interaction and communication between the people involved. Collaboration-platforms are instruments to lead successfully distributed, multi-disciplinary projects. However designing an appropriate pla...

Many problems in scientific investigation generate nonprecise data incorporating nonstatistical uncertainty. A nonprecise observation of a quantitative variable can be described by a special type of membership function defined on the set of all real numbers called a fuzzy number or a fuzzy interval. A methodology for constructing control charts is proposed when the quality characteristics are v...
