Aiming at the risk assessment requirements of typical industrial control systems with integrated architecture security and safety, we propose an objective quantitative safety scheme based on Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). First, establish a (SSI) for measures into failure modes. On this basis, hierarchical model SSI mode as element evaluation layer, then standardize characteristic val...

Software Testing is a process used to help in improving quality and efficiency of a software product. In order to make the testing process less time consuming and efficient Automated Testing Tools are being used.

Most decision-making and problem-solving tasks are too complex to be understood quantitatively. People perform such tasks using knowledge that is imprecise rather than precise. This study presents consistent fuzzy linguistic preference relations rather than fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to select computer integrated manufactory (CIM) systems. The proposed method yields decision matric...
