An evaluation method with attributes’ weights and attributes’ values being pure linguistic values is put forward in this paper. The final result is gained through calculating the linguistic values directly. Based on this method, a weights optimization model and a corresponding algorithm are advanced...

The typical methods proposed to improve the Qos (Quality of Service) of streaming are discussed on two aspects: peer selection and data assignment. Since most of the recent peer selection mechanisms used in streaming system hasn’t taken peer’s historical behavior into account, this paper introduced a...

Many scholars focus on linguistic 2-tuple to solve group decision making problem based on linguistic information because it can avoid information losing in the process of manipulating and computing linguistic information. However, there are few researches on the properties of linguistic 2-tuple judgement...

With respect to multiple attribute decision making problems with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information, some operational laws of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, score function and accuracy function of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are introduced. An optimization...

In an open electricity market, electricity purchasers will trade in two different ways of marketing. Contract and power auction market, a typical decision-making issue is how to determine purchasing proportion of two markets to reduce purchase expenses and avoid risks. Based on chance constrained programming,...

In this paper, we will provide a method for solving group decision-making problems based on IOWA operators. In which, linguistic assessments of decision makers could be selected freely, i.e., let S={s1, s2, ..., sn} be basic linguistic assessments, decision maker could select his (or her) linguistic...

IOWA operator, which is proposed by Yager, et al, has been used in many fields. In the paper, we deal with group linguistic assessments decision-making problems based on IOWA. Firstly, in the homogeneous, the higher the consistence degree of experts is, the higher the weights of linguistic assessments...

The paper proposes an attack pattern ontology and formal framework for network traffic anomalies detection within a distributed multiagent Intrusion Detection System (MUDIDS) architecture. The role of traffic anomalies detection is discussed then it has been clarified how some specific values characterizing...

The paper combines the passenger behavior with the decision of administrative department based on multi-agent simulation method of complex system theory, considering each advantage of CA and multi-agent, with the entrance of administrative departments and passenger behavior. In the passenger organization...

The satisfaction of ultimate customer can measure with four gross criteria in the supply chain, and can subdivide into ten sub-criteria. Customer satisfaction mainly performs from customer, so there is certain preference as a weight to each criterion. The weight is difficult to focus on one point, but...

Recent research and experiments have showed that clustering ensemble approaches can enhance the robustness and stabilities of unsupervised learning greatly. Most of them focused on crisp clustering combination. However, in this paper, we offer a decision model based on fuzzy set theory for fuzzy clustering...

The main profit source of supply chain is derived from the improvement of relationships among enterprises. In order to maximize the profit of supply chain, longitudinal and lateral relationships among the enterprises are comprehensively analyzed, under which the supply chain profit is compared. The result...

In this paper we study the push model and pull model of supply chain with a price-sensitive demand, in which a supplier sells a single product to an independent retailer facing stochastic demand while the retailer price is endogenously determined by the retailer, and compare the performance of supply...

Train Set Organization (TSO) is to arrange the train set in railway freight transportation. Bilevel programming techniques were proposed to solve the Stackelberg game in which play is sequential and cooperation is not permitted. In this paper, an op- timizing model for TSO is developed by the bilevel...

Several approaches based on rough set have been proposed for constructing decision tree in complete information systems. In fact, many information systems are incomplete in practical applications. In this paper, a new algorithm, Decision Tree Construction based on Rough Set Theory under Characteristic...

As we known, teachers play an important role in training qualified personnel and researching in university. This paper discusses the problem of impression evaluation and management of teachers of university. An index system of evaluation of the impression management is presented. We put forward eight...

Sensory evaluation has been widely used in many fields. This paper analyzes main factors of making up an experiemtn system in sensory evaluation, applies a method of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to build a model for evaluating rationality of the experiment system, and explain an application of this...

As we know, promotion activities are very important marketing tools. As a result of this fact, the selection of activities is an important decision. In this paper, from the viewpoint of satisfaction degree and total expense amount, we design a reasonable evaluation function, and use genetic algorithms...

Nationalities universities are important composition of the system of high education in some countries. In the 21st century, the development of nationalities universities is faced with good fortune and challenge. On the foundation of analysis the location and major content, this paper presents an evaluation...

This paper presents a method to solve multiattribute group decision-making with linguistic assessment. The method is based on the use of fuzzy linguistic approach, and on the use of fuzzy majority of consensus, represented by means of a linguistic quantifier. The individual consensus preference degrees...

We present a framework for decision-making in relation to disaster management. The use of causality reasoning based on the temporal evolution of a scenario provides a natural way to chain meaningful events and possible states of the system. There is usually several ways to analyze a problem and several...

Decision tree induction is one of the most popular data mining techniques with applications in various fields. Present algorithms for construction decision trees can not deal with missing value in information systems properly. A new concept, rough gain ratio, is first introduced by the aid of tolerance...
