due to the importance of supplier selection issue in supply chain management (scm) and ,also,  the increasing tendency of organizations to their social responsibilities, in this paper, we survey the supplier selection issue as a multi objective problem while considering the factor of corporate social responsibility (csr) as a mathematical parameter. the purpose of this paper is to design a mode...

abstract regarding the imprecise or fuzzy data on the agriculture activities, applying models based on fuzzy data may be useful. in line with this condition this study tries to compare the ability of possiblistic programming approach in developing optimal solution with fuzzy and deterministic programming. to get this objective a data set obtained from 90 farmers of kohgilooye region, gathered i...

The design of closed-loop logistics (forward and reverse logistics) has attracted growing attention with the stringent pressures of customer expectations, environmental concerns and economic factors. This paper considers a multi-product, multi-period and multi-objective closed-loop logistics network model with regard to facility expansion as a facility location–allocation problem, which more cl...

This paper introduces a new parallel programming model for situated multi-agent systems simulations and its parallel library implementation on shared memory MIMD parallel computers. The first goal is to allow users to easily implement situated multi-agent systems, following their natural paradigm: concurrent agent behavior definition and environment update programming. The second goal is to obt...

In this research, the multi-objective project management decision problem with fuzzy goals and fuzzy constraints are considered. We constitute α-cut approach and two various fuzzy goal programming solution methods for solving the Multi-Objective Project Management (MOPM) decision problem under fuzzy environments. The Interactive fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (i-FMOLP) and Weighted Ad...

In this article, we propose compromise allocations for multivariate stratified random sampling using the auxiliary attributes under non-response. We modified extended lexicographic goal programming technique and compared it with fuzzy goal programming and value function technique. We addressed the problem of compromise allocation when the auxiliary information is in the form of an auxiliary att...
