The problems that arise in businesses and institutions are currently immersed in a clear context of uncertainty. The solution to these problems is forever getting more difficult, if we are committed to the use of formal treatment valid for the sphere of certainty and in situations in which the required conditions are complied with for the use of probabilistic elements. The theory of fuzzy sub-s...

uncertainty associated with mixing models is often substantial, but has not yet been fully incorporated in models. the objective of this study is to develop and apply a bayesian-mixing model that estimates probability distributions of source contributions to a mixture associated with multiple sources for assessing the uncertainty estimation in sediment fingerprinting in zidasht catchment, iran....

This paper discussed possible application of soft computing methods in uncertainty management of the HR component in steel industry during automation period. It explained the importance of HR and the concept of uncertainty management. Then it discussed what to look in soft computing for uncertainty management. Keywords-HR, Soft Computing, space mapping, surrogate model, uncertainty management

The paper deals with the relations between knowledge management, uncertainty and the context evaluation on the background of the new possibilities of information technologies that can help us to carry out the knowledge management strategies. The paper discusses the problem of wide context including to compensate and decrease the uncertainty of data on one hand and to increase accuracy of classi...

Since the introduction of the Semantic Web vision (BernersLee, Hendler, & Lassila, 2001), attempts have been made for making Web resources more machine interpretable by giving them a well-defined meaning through semantic markups. One way to encode such semantic markups is to use ontologies. An ontology is “an explicit specification of a conceptualization” (Gruber, 1993). Informally, an ontology...

The contribution deals with issues that are very closely connected: Web services model, Dynamic GIS and the problem of uncertainty of spatial data and discusses the possibilities of the context use as a reflection of the system of understanding. The problem of the relation to the decision support system is addressed and GIS as a tool dealing with all phases of knowledge structure. GIS Web servi...

The purpose of this study is to examine the possible impact of value systems on earnings management in France, Tunisia and Canada. Cultural values include power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, masculinity and long-term orientation. The cross-cultural study uses the method of structural equations trough LISREL approach. The examination covers the period between 2003 and 2009. Fin...

The Bertrand paradox holds that price competition among at least two firms eliminates all profits in equilibrium, when firms have identical constant marginal costs. This assumes that the number of competitors is common knowledge among firms. If firms are uncertain about the number of their competitors, there is no pure strategy equilibrium. But in mixed strategies an equilibrium exists. In this...
