Consciousness affects managerial decision making in the real world. In today's dynamic and complex world, managers have to evaluate multiple criteria and various constraints associated with them. An attempt is made in this paper to rank managers into various consciousness levels based on the...

<Para ID="Par1">The paper presents a three step procedure to allocate flood reserve capacity of the reservoirs in a river basin to manage floods and increase hydropower generation. The first step is trying to identify the flood reserve space and reservoir storage availability during the post-flood season in dry...</para>

<Para ID="Par1">Machine learning is a very interesting and important branch of artificial intelligence. Among many learning models, the support vector machine is a popular model with high classification ability which can be trained by mathematical programming methods. Since the model was originally formulated...</para>
