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...

in this paper, we consider the production possibility set with n production units such that the following four principles that governs: inclusion observations, conceivability, immensity and convexity. our goal is to estimate the output of a same and new production unit with existing production possibility and amount of input is specified. so, initially we find the interval changes of each input...

expert systems can help to build banks customers' credit scoring models. here, selection of key features of the credit scoring is important. also, it is possible to express the features values as fuzzy. the problem is how to improve features selection by genetic algorithm, in way that these features can be employed as input in fuzzy expert system. this paper presents a hybrid credit scorin...

Several adaptation techniques have been investigated to optimize fuzzy inference systems. Neural network learning algorithms have been used to determine the parameters of fuzzy inference system. Such models are often called as integrated neuro-fuzzy models. In an integrated neuro-fuzzy model there is no guarantee that the neural network learning algorithm converges and the tuning of fuzzy infer...

Background and Objectives: One of the problems in juice membrane clarification is the accumulation and deposition of rejected compounds on membrane surfaces or inside its pores which results in a membrane fouling. Materials and Methods: Several parameters can have influence on fouling in one hand and prediction of juice permeates flux during the membrane processing is of importance in indust...

due to the explosive growth of the world-wide web, automatictext summarization has become an essential tool for web users. in this paperwe present a novel approach for creating text summaries. using fuzzy logicand word-net, our model extracts the most relevant sentences from an originaldocument. the approach utilizes fuzzy measures and inference on theextracted textual information from the docu...

The management of uncertainty and imprecision is becoming more and more important in knowledge-based systems. Fuzzy logic provides a systematic basis for representing and inferring with this kind of knowledge. This paper describes an approach for fuzzy inference based on an uncertainty forward propagation method and a change in the granularity of the elements involved. The proposed model is abl...
