The employee-employer relationship is an intricate one. In an industry, the employers expect to achieve performances in quality and production in order to earn profit, on the other side employees need good pay and all possible allowances and best advantages than any other industry. Our main objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between employee and employer in workplace and dis...

This study presents our investigation into a generic approach to model medical knowledge, using the semantic web framework, to have explicit knowledge with a clear semantic meaning and cognitive maps. Fuzzy Cognitive Maps are proposed to model the medical knowledge extracting by clinical guidelines as they have been proven by literature as powerful knowledge representation and reasoning tools. ...

This paper presents Fuzzy Cognitive Maps as an approach in modeling the behavior and operation of complex systems. This technique is the fusion of the advances of the fuzzy logic and cognitive maps theories, they are fuzzy weighted directed graphs with feedback that create models that emulate the behavior of complex decision processes using fuzzy causal relations. There are some applications in...

The Imperative reasons for miracles through Holy Bible using Induced fuzzy cognitive maps (IFCMs) defined by T. Pathinathan is analyzed in this paper. The analysis confirmed that many miracles require “cooperation” between God and people to occur. In other words, it appears that in many cases, God uses a reciprocal relationship between Himself and the people, while operating miracles. Basically...

This study aimed at examining the ability of individuals with blindness to create cognitive maps through the use of audio-tactile maps. Twenty adults with blindness (14 males and 6 females) took part in the research. The age ranged from 20 years to 61 years. The visual impairment was congenital for 12 participants and acquired for 8 participants. The procedure was started off by the participant...

In this paper, we compare the inference capabilities of three different types of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. A Fuzzy Cognitive Map is a Recurrent Artificial Neural Network that creates models as collections of concepts/neurons and the various causal relations that exist between these concepts/neurons. The three different types of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps that we study are the Binary, the Trivalent and th...

Scientists and managers are not the only holders of knowledge regarding environmental issues: other stakeholders such as farmers or fishers do have empirical and relevant knowledge. Thus, new approaches for knowledge representation in the case of multiple knowledge sources, but still enabling reasoning, are needed. Cognitive maps and Bayesian networks constitute some useful formalisms to addres...

Fuzzy Cognitive Maps as a Technique for Conducting Structured Systems Analysis in the Area of Security Sciences The article aims to present and introduce main assumptions procedures creating fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM) field security studies. FCM are tool conducting systematic analysis phenomena with complex structure consisting many interrelated elements. text was divided into three parts devot...

This paper presents a multi-agent model to support decisionmaking in organizations. The model is characterized by being interactive, distributed, and incremental and by the use of cognitive maps to represent the knowledge of decision-making actors. The main proposition is to consider the context of concepts belonging to cognitive maps in a way that it represents agent’s mental states, allowing ...
