The real life decisions are usually made in the state of uncertainty. This fact providesa motivation to study the behavior of uncertain phenomena. In order to deal withsubjective uncertainty, Liu (2007) founded an uncertainty theory that is a branch ofmathematics based on normality, monotonicity, self-duality, countable subadditivity,and product measure axioms. After that, u...

The predictions people make when placed in a two-choice uncertain outcome situation have received considerable attention in recent years. In the classical situation, as first used by Humphreys (1939), S is asked to predict which of two events (e.g., illumination or nonillumination of a light) will occur after a signal stimulus. The two events occur with fixed but unequal probabilities, say TI a...

This paper reports on results we obtained on communication among artiicial and human agents interacting in a simulated air defense domain. In our research, we postulate that the artiicial agents use a decision-theoretic method to select optimal communicative acts, given the characteristics of the particular situation. Thus, the agents we implemented compute the expected utilities of various alt...

Pigeons responded on concurrent chains with equal initialand terminal-link durations. In all conditions, the terminal links of one chain ended reliably in reinforcement; the terminal links on the alternative chain ended in either food or blackout. In Experiment 1, the terminal-link stimuli were correlated with (signaled) the outcome, and the durations of the initial and terminal links were vari...

This paper presents a behavior model of large repeated Bayesian games with an unknown number of players n, correlated types and imperfect monitoring. Each of the n players behaves as if she is negligible in a continuum game, but the game theorist performs a complete Bayesian analysis of what happens with such n players in the real repeated interaction. In addition to performing correct analysis...

None of the processing models in the software development has explained the software systems performance evaluation and modeling; likewise, there exist uncertainty in the information systems because of the natural essence of requirements and this may cause other challenges in the processing of software development. By definition an extended version of UML (Fuzzy-UML), the functional requirement...

this article proposes composition of fuzzy sets theory with discrete-event simulation and puts it into application in order to model uncertain activity duration in simulating a real-world system. the purpose of this paper is to assess the usefulness of fuzzy simulation for modeling uncertain activity duration, especially when insufficient or no sample data is available. in this research, fuzzy ...

In this paper, a class of uncertain, discrete-time, piecewise linear hybrid systems affected by both parameter variations and exterior disturbances is introduced. The robust tracking and regulation control problem for such uncertain piecewise linear hybrid systems is investigated. The main question is whether there exists a controller such that the closed-loop system exhibits desired behavior u...
