Mining association rules is one of the important tasks in the process of data mining application. In general, the input as used in the process of generating rules is taken from a certain data table by which all the corresponding values of every domain data have correlations one to each others as given in the table. A problem arises when we need to generate the rules expressing the relationship ...

Decision making pertaining to injection profiles during oilfield development is one of the most important factors that affect the oilfields’ performance. Since injection profiles are affected by multiple geological and development factors, it is difficult to model their complicated, non-linear relationships using conventional approaches. In this paper, two adaptivenetwork-based fuzzy inference ...

Considering convergent product as an important manufacturing technology for digital products, we integrate functions and sub-functions using a comprehensive fuzzy mathematical optimization process. To form the convergent product, a web-based fuzzy network is considered in which a collection of base functions and sub-functions configure the nodes and each arc in the network is to be a link betwe...

cases. In the first case, our contribution consists of mapping the problem to the mincut problem. In the second case, our contributions is the fuzzy-logic approach. In addition to those two cases, we presented a PLA partitioning technique which considers not only the delay through each sub-PLA, but also the increased loading on the stage which is driving the sub-PLA's. The last method provides ...

Neuro-fuzzy systems, have recently been applied to the problem of Call Admission Control (CAC) in ATM networks. Their advantage as opposed to classical schemes, based on the modeling of sources connected to the network, is their capability to learn the behavior of data sources through training process, and to predict the future behavior based on the experience acquired in the learning process. ...

The Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP) is generally used for solving multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problems by considering the pairwise comparison between criteria/sub-criteria, and inner/outer dependencies among criteria. Linguistic expressions are used for experts’ judgements, and these judgements are imprecise and vague. Hence, incorporating fuzziness with multi-criteria decision ma...

Today, HSE (health, safety, and environment) systems play a vital role in green and sustainable aspects of the companies. However, performance evaluation of HSE systems is a crucial issue in industry and academia. This paper tries to identify and prioritize the effective factors in HSE performance in Iran Khodro (the largest automotive company in Iran) and Tabriz Petrochemical (one of the bigge...
