In present research, a Multi-Criterion Decision Making (MCDM) appraisement index/module/framework is conceptualized from the resource of literature survey in extent of agile strategy of Supply Chain Management (SCM). The vagueness, impreciseness as well as inconsistency associated in measures...

This paper proposes a cross-entropy measure between dual hesitant fuzzy sets (DHFSs) as an extension of the cross-entropy measures of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Then the cross-entropy measure between DHFSs is applied to multiple attribute decision making under dual hesitant fuzzy environments....

Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is one of the most suitable AI techniques for building clinical decision support systems. Medical domain complexity introduces many challenges for building these systems. Building the systems' knowledge base from the Electronic Health Record (EHR), the encoding of...

Although recognized as increasingly relevant, the relationships between analytical orientation and process innovation are still unclear, specifically the role of analytical resources and capabilities in this association. This paper presents the results of empirical research conducted to...

The interest behind the use of component based software engineering is to divide an information system in subsystems with less complexity, the reduction of time, faster development, and enhancing the productivity. The software systems are developed by assembling components which are software...

In this paper, the authors propose a multi-criteria methodology for identifying “Crucial Know-How/Knowing-That”. Know-How and Knowing-That are two kinds of knowledge. Know-How is a disposition to perform a type of action whereas Knowing-That is a belief state and concerns a description which...

The development of new technologies has led the world into a tipping point. One of these technologies is the big data which made the revolution of computer sciences. Big data has come with new challenges. These challenges can be resumed in the aim of creating scalable and efficient services that...

Due to their widespread use, Internet, Web 2.0 and digital sensors create data in non-traditional volumes (at terabytes and petabytes scale). The big data characterized by the four V's has brought with it new challenges given the limited capabilities of traditional computing systems. This paper...

The supplier selection process attracted a lot of attention in the business management literature. This process takes into consideration several quantitative and qualitative variables and is usually modeled as a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem. A recognized shortcoming in the...

The Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) methodology is employed to ascertain strategic insights into a serious conflict over environmental concerns connected to the expanded exploitation of oil sands at the Jackpine Mine Expansion project located in Alberta, Canada. In fact, the expansion...
