organization theory is a discipline on the boundary between economics of organizations, sociology of organizations, management and political science. she is interested in organizations, both commercial and non-commercial, in all their diversity (company, hospital, union, organization, administration, conventions). it analyzes their functioning, structure and development for the purpose of bette...

abstract purpose of this paper: the objectives of this paper are two folds: (1) utilizing hierarchical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (topsis) approach to evaluate the most suitable rfid-based systems decision, and (2) to highlight key risks and benefits of radio frequency identification technology in healthcare industry. design/methodology/approach: resear...

the hierarchical hub location problem is encountered three-level network that is applied in production-distribution system, education system, emergency medical services, telecommunication network, etc. this paper addresses the hierarchical hub covering problem with single assignment accounting for mandatory dispersion of central hubs restriction as a special case. this formulation with incorpor...

in recent years, underactuated nonlinear dynamic systems trajectory tracking, such as space robots and manipulators with structural flexibility, has become a major field of interest due to the complexity and high computational load of these systems. hierarchical sliding mode control has been investigated recently for these systems; however, the instability phenomena will possibly occur, especia...

In this paper, a complete review of published researches about hierarchical facility location and hub network problems is presented. Hierarchical network is a system where facilities with different service levels interact in a top-down way or vice versa. In Hierarchical systems, service levels are composed of different facilities. Published papers from (1970) to (2015) have been studied and a c...

at the beginning of the twentieth century, most countries in response to the complexities and problems of urbanization began their first actions of spatial planning. switzerland is not excluded from this list and started spatial planning acts from the lowest level and today, after more than a century, is continuing with emphasis on spatial planning principles of sustainability, public and priva...

predicting different behaviors in computer networks is the subject of many data mining researches. providing a balanced intrusion detection system (ids) that directly addresses the trade-off between the ability to detect new attack types and providing low false detection rate is a fundamental challenge. many of the proposed methods perform well in one of the two aspects, and concentrate on a su...
