background : nowadays, problem solving skills, clinical decision making ability and  making a proper  relationship to clients are essential necessities for nursing graduates, however there are few studies which investigated nursing student’ responses to clients with problematic situations based on nursing theories addressing interactions. the purpose of this study was analyzing the nursing stud...

suitability analysis is a prerequisite for sustainable agricultural production and it involves evaluation of the environmental parameters. the development and creation of appropriate points for this land use without considering environmental capability will result in the appearance of several ecological, economic, and social problems. the multi-criteria decision making (mcdm) models were used f...

the current study set to extend a new vikor method as a compromise ranking approach to solve multiple criteria decision-making (mcdm) problems through intuitionistic fuzzy analysis. using compromise method in mcdm problems contributes to the selection of an alternative as close as possible to the positive ideal solution and far away from the negative ideal solution, concurrently. using atanasso...

Pecularities of Decision mpicing processes on eeneo-perceptual and speech-thinking levels are described. The productive oharactes of these processes are demonstrated. One of the traditional ways of artificial intellect constructing is an analysis of real decision making processes of man and subsequent formal description of them. Heuristic programming, however, representing to many scientists mi...

An agent embedded in a dynamic environment may need to respond in a timely manner to sequences of events outside the agent's control. By anticipating computational demands and allocating processing time accordingly the agent can avoid costly delays often arising from trying to respond to a dynamic environment with high-complexity decision procedures. Deliberation scheduling, the process of allo...

The bandit problem is a dynamic decision-making task that is simply described, well-suited to controlled laboratory study, and representative of a broad class of real-world problems. In bandit problems, people must choose between a set of alternatives, each with different unknown reward rates, to maximize the total reward they receive over a fixed number of trials. A key feature of the task is ...

This paper develops a category-theoretic approach to uncertainty, informativeness and decision-making problems. It is based on appropriate first order fuzzy logic in which not only logical connectives but also quantifiers have fuzzy interpretation. It is shown that all fundamental concepts of probability and statistics such as joint distribution, conditional distribution, etc., have meaningful ...

The aim of this paper is to present a new group decision making model with two important characteristics: i) we apply mobile technologies in the decision process and ii) the set of alternatives is not constant through time. We implement a prototype of a mobile decision support system based on changeable sets of alternatives. Using their mobile devices (as mobile phones or PDAs), experts can pro...
