This ambitious exposition by Malik and Mordeson on the fuzzification of discrete structures not only supplies a solid basic text on this key topic, but also serves as a viable tool for learning basic fuzzy set concepts "e;from the ground up"e; due to its unusual lucidity of exposition.
Decision makers in managerial and public organizations often encounter de- cision problems under conflict or competition, because they select strategies independently or by mutual agreement and therefore their payoffs are then affected by the strategies of the other decision makers.
Many decision-making tasks are too complex to be understood quantitatively, however, humans succeed by using knowledge that is imprecise rather than precise.
Negotiations are of increasing importance in highly regulated sectors, particularly in the network industries such as telecommunications and transport.
The twenty-three papers in this volume are carefully selected, reviewed and revised for this volume, and are divided into two parts: Part 1: "e;On-line Control"e; with subchapters 1.
In the global knowledge economy, corporate governance, organisational behaviour and performance of the supply chain are becoming increasingly important aspects of the evaluation of an enterprise.
Durch die enorme Beschleunigung des physischen Warenaustausches, die umfassende Globalisierung der Wirtschaftsbeziehungen und die weltweite informationstechnische Vernetzung sind unternehmensübergreifende Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke entstanden.
The volume "e;Fuzziness in Database Management Systems"e; is a highly informative, well-organized and up-to-date collection of contributions authored by many of the leading experts in its field.
This book presents the main tools for aggregation of information given by several members of a group or expressed in multiple criteria, and for fusion of data provided by several sources.
In 1982, Professor Pawlak published his seminal paper on what he called "e;rough sets"e; - a work which opened a new direction in the development of theories of incomplete information.
This volume treats the four main categories of Statistical Quality Control: General SQC Methodology, On-line Control including Sampling Inspection and Statistical Process Control, Off-line Control with Data Analysis and Experimental Design, and, fields related to Reliability.
Innerhalb moderner Informations- und Kommunikationssysteme für Supply Chain Management und Logistik stehen heute erstmals große Mengen an digitalen, strukturierten Daten zur Verfügung.
In today's competitive environments enterprises face diminishing market life spans, increasing pressure on profit margins and increasingly complex c- tomer requirements.
Mit diesem Buch liegen kompakte Beschreibungen von Prognoseverfahren vor, die vor allem in Systemen der betrieblichen Informationsverarbeitung eingesetzt werden.
Die atemberaubende Dynamik, mit der sich die Welt um uns herum verändert, verlangt uns keine intelligenten Theorien oder passive Ignoranz ab, sondern einzig und alleine aktives Handeln und Handlungsfähigkeit.
Tatin, mit bürgerlichem Namen Annette Bergen, backt leidenschaftlich gern französische Apfelkuchen, die Tarte Tatin, weswegen sie diesen Spitznamen erhielt.
Anonyme Geschäfte im Internet zu tätigen, ist ohne Zweifel der Wunsch vieler Business People, doch leider gestaltet sich die Realisierung nicht so einfach, wie mancher sich das vielleicht vorstellen mag.
During Ellen Snee's eighteen years as a Catholic nun, she gained a number of essential-and, happily, transferable-skills: how to discern a call or deep desire, how to work collaboratively with other women, and how to be a savvy operator within male hierarchies.
This book is intended to provide an introductory text of Nonlinear and Dynamic Programming for students of managerial economics and operations research.
The first ICANNGA conference, devoted to biologically inspired computational paradigms, Neural Net- works and Genetic Algorithms, was held in Innsbruck, Austria, in 1993.
