Abstract The article studies segmentation problem (also known as classification problem) with pairwise Markov models (PMMs). A PMM is a process where the observation and underlying state sequence form two-dimensional chain, it natural generalization of hidden model. To demonstrate richness class PMMs, we examine closer few examples rather different types PMMs: model for two related chains, that...

In this paper, a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM)-method and mixed integer linear programming (MILP) approach in order to evaluation of the returned products' collectors along with their ordered quantities, is utilized. Firstly, the most important criteria of collection center in the car industry are identified. Then, in order to evaluate these proposed criteria, a hybrid Fuzzy Deci...

This paper presents a multi agent system for the job shop scheduling problems. The proposed system consists of initial scheduling agent, search agents, and schedule management agent. In initial scheduling agent, a modified Shifting Bottleneck is proposed. That is, an effective heuristic approach and can generate a good solution in a low computational effort. In search agents, a hybrid search ap...

This article proposes an approach to a hybrid software process simulation modeling (SPSM) using discrete event system specification (DEVS) formalism, which implements the dynamic structure and discrete characteristics of the software development process. Many previous researchers on hybrid SPSM have described both discrete and continuous aspects of the software development process to provide mo...

Model checking is an automatic technique for software verification through which all reachable states are generated from an initial state to finding errors and desirable patterns. In the model checking approach, the behavior and structure of system should be modeled. Graph transformation system is a graphical formal modeling language to specify and model the system. However, modeling of large s...

An approach for hybrid model parameter identification based on sensitivity equations approach is tested on a hybrid model for biosurfactant production process. The computer simulations were performed using software tools created in Matlab (The MathWorks, Inc.) environment. Possible difficulties and ways of practical implementation of the analyzed identification algorithms for the identification...

barrett's mucosa is one of the most important diseases in upper gastrointestinal system that caused by gastroesophagus reflux. if left untreated, the disease will cause distal esophagus and gastric cardiaadenocarcinoma. the malignancy risk is very high in short segment barrett’s mucosa. therefore,lesion area segmentation can improve specialist decision for treatment. in this paper, we proposeda...
