In this paper we state how Cognitive Maps can be used to model causal phenomena. In addition, we show the application of the Cognitive Maps to the field of the Student Modeling. Conceptually speaking, Cognitive Maps set and simulate the systems dynamics based upon qualitative knowledge. A Cognitive Map is a tool that gives away the entities of the issue of study. Moreover, Cognitive Maps bring ...

nowadays balanced scorecard has a critical role in implementing strategies for many organizations. strategy map as the 3rd generation of bsc by inverting mission and vision into strategic objectives is the linkage between formulating and implementing strategies. however, the methodology of developing strategy maps has many ambiguities. this study with inspiring by other authors and exploring li...

The development of a novel soft computing approach to model the supervisor of manufacturing systems is described, it is named Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) and it is used to model the behaviour of complex systems. Fuzzy cognitive maps combine characteristics of both fuzzy logic and neural networks. The description and the construction of fuzzy cognitive maps are examined, a new methodology for de...

Modeling of complex dynamic systems, which are very complicated to establish mathematical models, requires new and modern methodologies that will exploit the existing expert knowledge, human experience and historical data. Fuzzy cognitive maps are very suitable, simple, and powerful tools for simulation and analysis of these kinds of dynamic systems. However, human experts are subjective and ca...
