the supplier selection is a multi-criteria decision making which consist both qualities and quantities metrics. a lot of investigations have been published in the supplier selection area and, most of the proposed models focused on manufacturing environments and a few papers have been allocated for service industries. proposed system utilizes new method that transfer the house of quality (hoq) a...

The present article discusses and presents a new and comprehensive approachaimed at measuring the maturity and quality of software processes. This method has beendesigned on the basis of the Software Capability Maturity Model (SW-CMM) and theMulti-level Fuzzy Inference Model and is used as a measurement and analysis tool. Among themost important characteristics of this method one can mention si...

Weather prediction is an ever challenging area of investigation for scientists. The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) has been widely used for modeling different kinds of nonlinear systems including rainfall forecasting. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) combines the capabilities of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) to solve different ki...

Fuzzy cognitive map is a powerful modeling tool. It has several desirable properties on control. In this paper, we utilize the feature and the inference mechanism of fuzzy cognitive map, and present a control method, which study combines control theory with fuzzy cognitive map theory. The causal relationship of variables is constructed by online learning or offline learning, the values of contr...

This paper presents a fuzzy inference guided cellular automata approach. Semantic or linguistic knowledge on urban development is expressed as fuzzy rules, based on which fuzzy inference is applied to determine the urban development potential for each pixel. A defuzzification process converts the development potential to the required neighborhood development level, which is taken by cellular au...
