        Agility makes it possible for organizations in today's complex and constantly changing environment to ensure their survival with rapid, innovative and creative responses. In this regard, the present study attempts to study main indicators of agility in Iran Power Development Organization (IPDO). Firstly, four main criterions referring to the literature selected include of “leveraging impact of people and information”, “cooperate to enhance competitiveness”, “enriching customer”, “mastering change and uncertainty”. Subsequently, by designing questionnaire and determining it’s content validity by academic members, intuitive data from IPDO experts has been collected. Then, reliability has been evaluated using Gous method for consistency examination of pairwise comparisons matrix. Finally data were analyzed using fuzzy multi-criteria decision making technique. The findings shows that “cooperate to enhance competitiveness” with the importance degree (0.301) is the most importance of the main criterion for selecting the more agile organizational unit. While in Iran Power Development Organization it has third priority. The main criteria “leveraging impact of people and information” with the importance degree (0.277), “mastering change and uncertainty” with the importance degree (0.238), “enriching customer” with the importance degree (0.184), were three next most important criterion in the selection of organizational units are more agile. The results point out that IPDO should be more focus on the priority of indicators affecting the agility to minimize the gap between current and desired situation. Manuscript profile

        As the main part of the financial system, banks always face different risks, the most important of which is the credit scoring risk and property valuation. One of the issues faced by property valuation experts is how to evaluate property prices. In general, court experts assess real estate based on price indices. In this research, the researcher aimed to verify the accuracy of valuation experts by using data mining models. This action has been taken to help bank managers and audit reporters to make better decisions about experts and their valuations. Using property valuation indexes and data mining, a predictive model has been developed to predict property prices, and a combination of FCM and K-NN algorithms has been used to achieve a high performance prediction model. This measure was able to greatly increase the predictive accuracy and increase the efficiency of the proposed model. The accuracy level in predicting valuated prices was 84.21% and the RMSE rate in its forecast was 0.43. The proposed approach was tested on real estate valuation data of the Mellat Bank.

        Information and its protection is one of the most important pillars of survival of today's organizations. Defines and considers many ISMS implementation failures to be rooted in organizational issues and disregard for the organization's readiness prior to implementation. Therefore, assessing the situation and prioritizing information security risks and creating an overview and hierarchy of it, is important in the successful establishment of the information security system. However, in terms of dimensions, effects and various causes of security risks and considering the multiplicity of indicators and effective parameters of ISMS implementation, it is necessary to use multi-criteria decision-making models in their evaluation and ranking. . In this study, an attempt has been made to classify the factors affecting the information security management system into two groups of soft and hard factors and in order to accurately rank and focus more, especially in conditions of uncertainty that is inherent in human decision making, Fuzzy hierarchical analysis (FAHP) was performed. Based on this and with the help of a questionnaire to quantify the results, the opinions of technical experts including academic experts, managers and employees of the information technology department of social security branches in Guilan province have been used as a case study of this research. The results show that soft factors including managerial and cultural / social factors are more important than hard factors including financial and technical / technological factors in information security management system and management factors are more important than other soft factors as well as technical / technological factors. They are more important than other difficult factors. Manuscript profile

        Landslide is a geological phenomenon which cause annual enormous losses of life and property in the country. Since the set of natural and human factors contributed to the damages caused by the landslide, this phenomenon is known as the limiting factor in land development policies. One of the most important solution to reduce the damages caused by landslides, is to avoide these areas. For this it is essential to provide high accuracy maps of landslide hazard zoning by an available and suitable method. Thus in this study GIS (Geographic Information System) was utilized to determine the high risk areas and evaluate the impact of various factors. At first the influenced factors were selected by field and other reserchers studies then the layers were prepared on GIS ( by the use of ArcGIS 10.2). These layers are lithology, slope, aspect, land use, road networks, distance to fault, elevation and drainage watershed in Emamzade Ebrahim watershed in west of Guilan province, Iran. In step 1, standardization of the layers was done using Fuzzy logic. Step 2, analyze hierarchi prossess (AHP) was used to pair-wise comparison of these factors and the weight of each factor, which represents the degree of their influence had been calculated and finally landslide hazard zonation map was prepared with different sensitivities. Slope by the weight of 0/308 and lithology 0/231 had highest impact and should be more emphasis and considere on basin development planning managers and policy makers. Also 39% of the basin area has low sensitivity and 2% has very high sensitivity to the risk of the occurrence of landslide hazard. Manuscript profile

        Predicting stock prices by data analysts have created a great business opportunity for a wide range of investors in the stock markets. But the fact is difficulte, because there are many affective economic factors in the stock markets that they are too dynamic and complex. In this paper, two models are designed and implemented to identify the complex relationship between 10 economic factors on the stock prices of companies operating in the Tehran stock market. First, a Mamdani Fuzzy Inference System (MFIS) is designed that the fuzzy rules set of its inference engine is found by the Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSO). Then a Deep Learning model consisting of 26 neurons is designed wiht 5 hidden layers. The designed models are implemented to predict the stock prices of nine companies operating on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The experimental results show that the designed deep learning model can obtain better results than the hybridization of MFIS-PSO, the neural network and SVM, although the interperative ability of the obtained patterns, more consistent behavior with much less variance, as well as higher convergence speed than other models can be mentioned as significant competitive advantages of the MFIS-PSO model Manuscript profile

        Recommender systems are the systems that help users find and select their target items. Most of the available events for recommender systems are focused on recommending the most relevant items to the users and do not include any context information such as time, location . This paper is presented by the use of geographically tagged photo information which is highly accurate. The distinction point between this thesis and other similar articles is that this paper includes more context (weather conditions, users’ mental status, traffic level, etc.) than similar articles which include only time and location as context. This has brought the users close to each other in a cluster and has led to an increase in the accuracy. The proposed method merges the Colonial Competitive Algorithm and fuzzy clustering for a better and stronger processing against using merely the classic clustering and this has increased the accuracy of the recommendations. Flickr dataset is used to evaluate the presented method. Results of the evaluation indicate that the proposed method can provide location recommendations proportionate to the users’ preferences and their current visiting location. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays “Passive Defense” is very important in urban management and Militarism, because we can reduce damages from enemies attack by complying with its rules. Making urban shelters is one of important actions to reduce human casualties. Making urban shelters have its rules. Finding the best place in city is one of these rules which should be complied. The shelter must be created in place that people can reach very fast in the crisis. In this paper urban shelter site-selecting implemented using multi criteria decision making algorithms with passive defense approaches. In the first step, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used in order to determine the weight of each criterion. Then, we use fuzzy logic functions to produce fuzzificated factor maps. Finally, we utilize TOPSIS algorithm to evaluate all the points of city and create assessment map. Zahedan (in the southeast in Iran) is chosen as case study. In this paper 39 layers (map) gathered and categorized into 15 factor. Most weight is dedicated to “Distance from important points” (23 %) and lowest weight is dedicated to “slope” (1 %). The results shows most areas in the east and the north and center of the city are not suitable places to build urban shelters since several inappropriate factors like “Distance to fault” , “Distance to Old buildings” , “Distance to dangerous area” , “Distance to rivers” , “Distance to under waters” and “Distance to high voltages power lines” are focused in these areas and intensify the effect of each other’s. And the west area in the city (and some small limited areas in northeast and southeast) is suitable for urban shelter. Manuscript profile

        Due to the central role of the city, Tehran has been associated with increasing population and density, and consequently in providing services and facilities in various fields, due to lack of and, in some cases, due to the lack of appropriate geographical distribution of applications, there are shortcomings Is. The fuel filling stations network is one of the components of the municipal services network that acts as a fuel supplier to the intercity transportation sector, which is important in terms of traffic considerations, urbanization, safety and the environment. One of the most important factors surrounding fuel supply stations (petrol stations) is their proper location. Multi-criteria decision-making models (MCDMs) are now becoming an expanding tool for addressing complex spatial decision-making problems. There are several methods in making multi-criteria decisions. Studies and evidence show that multi-criteria decision-making methods, especially the combined methods between them, provide accurate results for spatial decision-making. Due to the high population density and the density of internal and external passage overnight and the passage to the adjacent areas, Tehran's region 17 shows the need for fuel efficiency and optimal location. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate location of pump-gas stations in the 17th district of Tehran and to investigate the position of the existing sites in this area, using the GIS and utilizing the fuzzy AHP combined method. Not. The research method has descriptive-analytical and applied nature in this evaluation. In order to achieve these goals, suitable criteria, consistent with the studied area and different methods have been used. Finally, by using paired comparisons and experts' opinion and calculations by the fuzzy AHP method, the final weight of the criteria has been determined. The results of the integration of information layers in ARCGIS software, while identifying suitable locations for building new stations, have analyzed the location of gas station positions, which shows that each of the 2 existing locations in the 17th district of Tehran in an appropriate and optimal position they are not.

        In this paper, classification of a large hydrochemical data set from Varamin plain is done by using fuzzy c-means (FCM) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) clustering techniques. Then its application to hydrochemical facies delineation is discussed. Groundwater samples were grouped into three classes according to the optimum number of the classes and fuzziness exponent by using the fuzzy c-mean. The data set includes 90 deep and moderate deep well samples from groundwater data set and 9 hydrochemical variables were used. Results from both FCM and HCA clustering produced cluster centers that can be used to identify the physical and chemical processes creating the variations in the water chemistries. The optimum cluster in FCM method determined by optimization function, but in HCA method by trial and error. The FCM method is potentially useful in establishing hydrochemical facies distribution and may provide a better tool than HCA for clustering large data sets when overlapping or continuous clusters exist. Plotting the cluster membership value contours on a map demonstrated the existence of three spatially continuous, well-defined clusters of groundwater samples. The results showed that the FCM method is more sound for investigating threshold data rather than HCA method (that represents sharp and abrupt variations). Manuscript profile

        Emphasizing the necessity for changing the logical approach to the definition of the nature of poetry from Aristotle's logical dichotomy to the Fuzzy relativist logic, the present paper will first deal with three different viewpoints in the field of poetics. Attempts will also be made to employ the approach which does not take into consideration literature and poetry in particular, as being different from other types of communicative acts. It will thus be possible to analyze poetry within the framework of a general theory. Based on Haliday's functional systemic theory (1985, 1994) and taking into consideration the pattern proposed by Mohajer and Nabavi (1376), The present paper attempts to provide a functionalist analysis of the discourse of the poetry, as well as linguistic and paralinguistic parameters, based on Manuscript profile

        To select an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is time consuming due to the resource constraints, the software complexity, and the different of alternatives. A comprehensively systematic selection policy for ERP system is very important to the success of ERP project. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method to evaluate the alternatives of ERP system. The selection criteria of ERP system are numerous and fuzzy, so how to select an adequate ERP system is crucial in the early phase of an ERP project. The framework decomposes ERP system selection into four main factors. The goal of this paper is to select the best alternative that meets the requirements with respect to product factors, system factors, management factors and vendor factors. The sub-attributes (sub-factors) related to ERP selection have been classified into thirteen main categories of Functionality, Reliability¬, Usability¬, Efficiency¬, Maintainability¬, Portability¬, Cost, Implementation time, User friendliness¬, Flexibility¬, Vendor Reputation¬, Consultancy Services, and R&D Capability¬ and arranged in a hierarchy structure. These criteria and factors are weighted and prioritized and finally a framework is provided for ERP selection with the fuzzy AHP method. Also, a real case study from Iran (PARDIS-LO Company) is also presented to demonstrate efficiency of this method in practice. Manuscript profile

        Elimination of redundancies in the memory representation is necessary for fast and efficient analysis of large sets of fuzzy data. In this work, we use MTBDDs as the underlying data-structure to represent fuzzy sets and binary fuzzy relations. This leads to elimination of redundancies in the representation, less computations, and faster analyses. We also extended a BDD package (BuDDy) to support MTBDDs in general and fuzzy sets and relations in particular. Representation and manipulation of MTBDD based fuzzy sets and binary fuzzy relations are described in this paper. These include design and implementation of different fuzzy operations such as max, min and max-min composition. In particular, an efficient algorithm for computing max-min composition is presented.Effectiveness of our MTBDD based implementation is shown by applying it on fuzzy connectedness and image segmentation problem. Compared to a base implementation, the running time of the MTBDD based implementation was faster (in our test cases) by a factor ranging from 2 to 27. Also, when the MTBDD based data-structure was employed, the memory needed to represent the final results was improved by a factor ranging from 37.9 to 265.5. We also describe our base implementation which is based on matrices. Manuscript profile

        Most popular fusion methods have their own limitations; e.g. OWA (order weighted averaging) has “linear model” and “summation of inputs proportions in fusion equal to 1” limitations. Considering all possible models for fusion, proposed fusion method involve input data confusion in fusion process to segmentation. Indeed, limitations in proposed method are determined adaptively for each input data, separately. On the other hand, land-cover segmentation using remotely sensed (RS) images is a challenging research subject; due to the fact that objects in unique land-cover often appear dissimilar in different RS images. In this paper multiple co-registered RS images are utilized to segment land-cover using FCM (fuzzy c-means). As an appropriate tool to model changes, fuzzy concept is utilized to fuse and integrate information of input images. By categorizing the ground points, it is shown in this paper for the first time, fuzzy numbers are need and more suitable than crisp ones to merge multi-images information and segmentation. Finally, FCM is applied on the fused image pixels (with fuzzy values) to obtain a single segmented image. Furthermore mathematical analysis and used proposed cost function, simulation results also show significant performance of the proposed method in terms of noise-free and fast segmentation.

        The performance of many wireless protocols is tied to a quick Link Quality Estimation (LQE). However, some wireless applications need the estimation to respond quickly only to the persistent changes and ignore the transient changes of the channel, i.e., be agile and stable, respectively. In this paper, we propose an adaptive fuzzy filter to balance the stability and agility of LQE by mitigating the transient variation of it. The heart of the fuzzy filter is an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) low-pass filter that its smoothing factor is changed dynamically with fuzzy rules. We apply the adaptive fuzzy filter and a non-adaptive one, i.e., an EWMA with a constant smoothing factor, to several types of channels from short-term to long-term transitive channels. The comparison of the filters outputs shows that the non-adaptive filter is stable for large values of the smoothing factor and is agile for small values of smoothing factor, while the proposed adaptive filter outperforms the other ones in terms of balancing the agility and stability measured by the settling time and coefficient of variation, respectively. Notably, the proposed adaptive fuzzy filter performs in real time and its complexity is low, because of using limited number of fuzzy rules and membership functions. Manuscript profile

        Energy is an important parameter in establishing various communications types in the sensor-based IoT. Sensors usually possess low-energy and non-rechargeable batteries since these sensors are often applied in places and applications that cannot be recharged. The most important objective of the present study is to minimize the energy consumption of sensors and increase the IoT network's lifetime by applying multi-objective optimization algorithms when selecting cluster heads and routing between cluster heads for transferring data to the base station. In the present article, after distributing the sensor nodes in the network, the type-2 fuzzy algorithm has been employed to select the cluster heads and also the genetic algorithm has been used to create a tree between the cluster heads and base station. After selecting the cluster heads, the normal nodes become cluster members and send their data to the cluster head. After collecting and aggregating the data by the cluster heads, the data is transferred to the base station from the path specified by the genetic algorithm. The proposed algorithm was implemented with MATLAB simulator and compared with LEACH, MB-CBCCP, and DCABGA protocols, the simulation results indicate the better performance of the proposed algorithm in different environments compared to the mentioned protocols. Due to the limited energy in the sensor-based IoT and the fact that they cannot be recharged in most applications, the use of multi-objective optimization algorithms in the design and implementation of routing and clustering algorithms has a significant impact on the increase in the lifetime of these networks.

        Background: The main limitation of wireless IoT sensor-based networks is their energy resource, which cannot be charged or replaced because, in most applications, these sensors are usually applied in places where they are not accessible or rechargeable. Objective: The present article's main objective is to assist in improving energy consumption in the sensor-based IoT network and thus increase the network’s lifetime. Cluster heads are used to send data to the base station. Methods: In the present paper, the type-1 fuzzy algorithm is employed to select cluster heads, and the type-2 fuzzy algorithm is used for routing between cluster heads to the base station. After selecting the cluster head using the type-1 fuzzy algorithm, the normal nodes become the members of the cluster heads and send their data to the cluster head, and then the cluster heads transfer the collected data to the main station through the path which has been determined by the type-2 fuzzy algorithm. Results: The proposed algorithm was implemented using MATLAB simulator and compared with LEACH, DEC, and DEEC protocols. The simulation results suggest that the proposed protocol among the mentioned algorithms increases the network’s lifetime in homogeneous and heterogeneous environments. Conclusion: Due to the energy limitation in sensor-based IoT networks and the impossibility of recharging the sensors in most applications, the use of computational intelligence techniques in the design and implementation of these algorithms considerably contributes to the reduction of energy consumption and ultimately the increase in network’s lifetime.

        Integration and diversity of IOT terminals and their applicable programs make them more vulnerable to many intrusive attacks. Thus, designing an intrusion detection model that ensures the security, integrity, and reliability of IOT is vital. Traditional intrusion detection technology has the disadvantages of low detection rates and weak scalability that cannot adapt to the complicated and changing environment of the Internet of Things. Hence, one of the most widely used traditional methods is the use of neural networks and also the use of evolutionary optimization algorithms to train neural networks can be an efficient and interesting method. Therefore, in this paper, we use the PSO algorithm to train the neural network and detect attacks and abnormalities of the IOT system. Although the PSO algorithm has many benefits, in some cases it may reduce population diversity, resulting in early convergence. Therefore,in order to solve this problem, we use the modified PSO algorithm with a new mutation operator, fuzzy systems and comparative equations. The proposed method was tested with CUP-KDD data set. The simulation results of the proposed model of this article show better performance and 99% detection accuracy in detecting different malicious attacks, such as DOS, R2L, U2R, and PROB.

        The increasingly rate of change and as a result shortening product life cycle, has emphasis on innovation among industrial companies. The purpose of this research is to briefly discuss the role that innovation plays in global competition and to investigate the relationship among influential variables on innovation in petrochemical companies. Drawing from literature review we developed a research model. It consists of 26 factors and then with utilizing DEMATEL Fuzzy technique, they were reduced to seven variables, namely, culture of change, management performance, focusing on clients’ demand, financial conditions, product flexibility, using new technology and government support. Then the effects of above factors on organizational innovation have been assessed. Results emphasizes on vital role of culture of change among employees that must be at center of interest on managers. Also results indicate that clients’ interest is an independent variable that neither effects nor effected by other variables. Among other findings, results indicate that culture of change, management performance and using modern technologies are the most vital factors affecting innovation in petrochemical companies. Investment variable has been identified as an independent variable that has great effect on a number of effective variables in petrochemical companies. Manuscript profile

        Nanotechnology plays an important role in the scientific, economic, and political development of countries, so that adapting to today's dynamic world and becoming the leading power in the Middle East and a pioneer in this field is subject to the acquisition of nanotechnology and the related knowledge. One of the short-term, urgent and effective methods for obtaining knowledge and technology concerned with nanotechnology is technology transfer but despite its outstanding importance, little attention has been paid. On the other hand, in extraordinary circumstances imposed by the sanctions against Iran, the urgency of this issue increases, since the technical and knowledge interactions under sanctions are harder and more complex. Also, the possibility of complete transfer of knowledge and technology, especially in the field of high technologies such as nanotechnology decreases. Therefore, this study has aimed to design a customized model for Iran to facilitate making accurate and wise decisions about transfer of nanotechnology and the knowledge associated with that technology. To achieve this goal, three basic steps have been taken. First, eighteen major factors influencing the transfer of knowledge and technology of nano has been identified. Then, these factors have been weighed. Finally, they have been categorized into five clusters that are: 1. Technology source, 2. Technology receiver, 3. Technology process, 4. Technology nature, 5. Technology environment. It is notable that this classification has been based on open systems approach. Manuscript profile

        Business intelligence (BI) is the tool used by enterprises to collect, manage and analyze structural and non-structural data and also information by taking advantage of modern information technology. It utilizes a substantial amount of collected data during the daily operational processes, and transforms the data into information and knowledge to avoid the supposition and ignorance of the enterprises. In the last decade, Business intelligence has evolved as one of the critical applications in organizations to provide useful insight, support decision-making, and drive organizational performance. However, to avoid the ineffective experiences during the deployment, it is important to clarify the impact factors of a BI system and find out a Suitable assessment method to evaluate the performance of BI systems. Evaluating the effectiveness of business intelligence systems is vital to our understanding of the value and efficacy of management actions and investments. This research is a descriptive survey. We construct an Assessment model to assess the performance of business intelligence systems based on the outcomes of previous researches. Furthermore, an expert questionnaire using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to filter out useful performance indicators. The analytic hierarchy process is a structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions. Finally, we analyze a real case by using the constructed assessment model for Business Intelligence systems. We choose an automotive parts manufacturer as a case. The survey sample population consisted of 66 randomly taken employees and managers of the case. The results indicate that the performance of Business Intelligence system in our case was suitable.

        All service and manufacturing businesses are resilient and strive for a more efficient and better end in today's world. Data mining is data-driven and necessitates significant data to analyze the pattern and train the model. Assume the data is incorrect and was not collected from reliable sources, causing the analysis to be skewed. We introduce a procedure in which the dataset is split into test and training datasets with a specific ratio to overcome this challenge. Process mining will find the traces of actions to streamline the process and aid data mining in producing a more efficient result. The most responsible domain is the healthcare industry. In this study, we used the activity data from the hospital and applied process mining algorithms such as alpha miner and fuzzy miner. Process mining is used to check for conformity in the event log and do performance analysis, and a pattern of accuracy is exhibited. Finally, we used process mining techniques to show the deviation flow and fix the process flow. This study showed that there was a variation in the flow by employing alpha and fuzzy miners in the hospital. Manuscript profile

        A lot of methodologies for evaluation of the lean transformation have been proposed in the literature, but just a few of them explicit relations among the components of the lean enterprise transformation, with focusing on the priority and identification of the relative weight of each element on the lean transformation have been considered. Therefore, we try to quantify those relations in this study. So, to structural investigate the relationships among the elements, a model is proposed that presents a novel comprehensive insight to the lean transformation process. This study proposed an analytic modeling approach in the lean enterprise transformation to identify the weights of the elements. The goal is to operationalize the highly qualitative relationships among the lean transformation components. In this paper 32 effective factors in lean enterprise transformation, identified as "sub sub criterion" were grouped into eight categories classified as "sub criterion".

        A lot of methodologies for evaluation of the lean transformation have been proposed in the literature, but just a few of them explicit relations among the components of the lean enterprise transformation, with focusing on the priority and identification of the relative weight of each element on the lean transformation have been considered. Therefore, we try to quantify those relations in this study. So, to structural investigate the relationships among the elements, a model is proposed that presents a novel comprehensive insight to the lean transformation process. This study proposed an analytic modeling approach in the lean enterprise transformation to identify the weights of the elements. The goal is to operationalize the highly qualitative relationships among the lean transformation components. In this paper 32 effective factors in lean enterprise transformation, identified as "sub sub criterion" were grouped into eight categories classified as "sub criterion". These eight sub criteria classified through 3 criteria in the higher level which are “organizational asset development”, “quick adaptation to markets and competitive superiority acquisition” and “supply and distribution network optimization These three criteria were proposed as the major criteria involved in "delivery value maximizing", and ultimately, the value maximizing recognized as the main target of the lean transformation in companies. Fuzzy DEMATEL technique and fuzzy analytic network process modeling are used to determine the relationships and the relative weights of each component and then with fuzzy VIKOR method, 25 identified solutions related to conceptual model were ranked for implementing the lean transformation which regard the organizational purposes and the weights of the end level parameters of the conceptual model in a proposal framework.

        One of the key success factors of supply chain management (SCM) is inter-organizational relations controlling and coordination. Investigation on the literature shows that there is a gap in theoretical foundation for illustrating this kind of interactions. One of its solution is using of theories in other fields which are conformable in SCM. In this research four inter-organizational theories (Principal- Agent Theories, transaction cost analysis; the network theory; and the resource-based view) based on the literature are considered. The aim is determine their importance and preference upon proper theory evaluation criteria for development theoretical foundation of SCM according to this research. The research was descriptive-survey based on the experts’ viewpoint with the use of Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP). As a result, “reality” and “logical consistency” have the upset weight for the theories’ evaluation. In theories evaluation, “transaction cost analysis” and “the resource-based view “were more appropriate than two others. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Projects are planned based on estimated amounts that are the result of having little information about the future plans. According to the uncertainty of planning, time delays and costs of uncertainty are inevitable. The main objective of this study is to present a new approach based on failure mode and effects analysis and fuzzy logic to identify the affecting risks on duration of projects and ranking them using Kepland technique. In addition, in this research Shannon entropy is used for calculation of the weights of indexes. So after the study of related researches as well as through interviews and Delphi technique, some risks were identified. Then, based on three indicators of risk in the FMEA (severity, probability of occurrence, probability of detection), three questionnaire was prepared and their validity was confirmed by experts and reliability was calculated by Cronbach coefficient using SPSS software. The population of the study is 22 managers and experts that work on Debal Khazaei Company. Using triangular fuzzy numbers, the verbal variables of questionnaires became fuzzy numbers. Shannon entropy is used for calculation of weight of each index. Then, using decision making methods, ELECTRE TAXONOMY, TOPSIS and SAW, the risks are ranked. Finally, because of the relative difference of ranking in different techniques, Kapland technique is used to combine the results. TO help for developing the strategies of responding to the risks, some suggestions are presented. The contribution of this research is the simultaneous use of FMEA and Shannon's entropy to analisys the importance of risks and the ranking of them using Kepland technique. Manuscript profile

        The important role of food industries in promotion of the various health and economic indicators in the countries persuaded the industries involved in this affair to enforce fundamental reviews in the management approaches to enable them to perform the most efficient methods for utilizing the limited available recourses to improve the society’s health and economic growth. The balanced scorecard, as one of the successful tools in performance evaluation system, does not show the importance degree for the perspectives and the indicators under each perspective. To eliminate this deficiency the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method is used in this research for weighting the perspectives and balanced scorecard indicators. In this study, first a list of performance evaluation indicators based on balanced scorecard approach was prepared and then the pairwise comparison was gained through field study and the standard AHP questionnaire with compatibility rate lower than 0.1. At the end the rate of balanced realization was evaluated for each. Regarding the pairwise comparison among perspectives done by the experts the customer perspective weighting 0.328 showed the maximum importance degree among other perspectives. The finance perspective weighting 0.290, the internal business process perspective weighting 0.239, and the learning and growth perspective weighting 0.143 were ranked as second to forth level respectively. According to the obtained certain weights, the added income comparison to the previous year weighing 0.121 was ranked in first level. The number of customer complains weighting 0.094, the customer satisfaction weighting 0.086 were ranked in second to fifth levels respectively. Manuscript profile

In this turbulence environment, Intrapreneurship is functionality that can save today's systems as a new phenomenon in the economy at this critical period and play a more active role in economic development. Today, business excellence models also have an important role to deploy the key factors of organizational success and make performance improvements. These models provide the assessment criteria in both enablers and results and make guidelines for organizations to measure their progress and performance in the field of quality and organizational excellence. So it allows creating the needed infrastructure and capabilities for Intrapreneurship based on the EFQM Excellence Model. Therefore, after identifying the effective factors of implementation Intrapreneurship, these features are classified due to their nature at four main criteria include "leadership", "Policy and Strategy", "employees" and "partnerships, resources and processes" that all of them are the enablers of the EFQM model. This paper presents an analytical modeling method that makes practicable a qualitative relationship between the elements of Intrapreneurship. We used the integrated approach of fuzzy Dematel and fuzzy modeling network analysis to determine the relationship and weight relative importance of each element in model. The results indicated “leadership” at the main criteria level has the most highly effect and “employees” has the most important coefficient. Also "senior management support" has the highest importance coefficient and highly effect in the sub-criteria. In this study we presented individual entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurship assessment model that is a comprehensive model and can be used in different organizations and finally we evaluated this model in Iran Power Development Company.

        The role of effective and efficient management is becoming more important in today’s competitive world which is undoubtedly full of complexity, ambiguity, and uncertainty in challenging situations, competitions, and conflicts. People associate power with many advantages; therefore, they make many efforts to gain it in organizations. Battling for power raises the discussion of political behaviors in organizations. The aim of this study was to present a multi-index decision-making fuzzy hybrid model of qualitative analysis to identify the dimensions and indices of political behavior occurrence among CAOs at the branches of Bank Maskan in Tehran by using a fuzzy Delphi technique. Moreover, the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) technique was employed to determine how influential and influenceable the indices were. The statistical population included 20 CAOs (Bank Maskan) with at least 10 years of executive and management experience. The research results indicated that Personal Characteristics became known as the most influential dimension with the highest value of (R-J) (1.244) among the evaluation criteria for political behaviors of CAOs at Bank Maskan. Moreover, Occupational Attitudes became identified as the most influenceable dimension according to the lowest value of (R-J) (1.358). Given the highest value of (R+J), Personal Characteristics interacted the most with other dimensions (1.244). Manuscript profile

        Regarding the importance of CoPS in providing the organization with technological capability and the differences existing between these systems and mass products, it is essential to develop a model to collaborate on CoPS R&D. Exploitation of the capabilities of the network of collaborators is a desirable option due to inability of the organization in providing the resources comprising finance, human, facilities and expertise. Reviewing the literature on CoPS and technological collaboration incorporating the kind and motivations of collaborators and organizational forms of collaboration and interviewing 18 experts of the organization, a model was developed based on TRL approach and fuzzy cognitive mapping tool. Considering the model developed, the steps of project is classified into 3 categories: Green(able to be collaborated in network), Yellow (able to be collaborated on condition) and red (unable to be collaborated). The role of the members of the network and the strategy of collaborating with them is specified as follows: R&D contract with universities and consulting agents, Educational acquisition with faculty members, outsourcing the projects intended as military service compensation, and R&D contract or research funding with knowledge-based institutions. On the other hand, the position of technology developing and designing centers is specified employing the national innovation system as an upper hand document.

        In the present study, the supplier selection problem from a new perspective is formulated and solved. For this purpose, minimizing cost and minimizing delivery time and maximizing reliability are considered as objectives of the problem. The purchasing cost in discounted status, the order cost, the transportation cost, the shortage cost and the carrying cost, the components forming the cost objective function. In this research, the design of reliability in parallel systems is benchmarked for supplier selection, so that the supplier's set is considered as a system and each supplier as a component. After mathematical modeling of the problem, the objective functions are described as fuzzy goals and a fuzzy decision approach has been used to rewrite the proposed three-objective model as a single-objective model. The production of a final solution rather than a set of Pareto's solutions is one of the advantages of the proposed method, which prevents decision-making confusion. In order to describe the function and potential application of the proposed method, the supplier selection problem with the actual data was solved. Manuscript profile

        The insurance industry is vital in the country that is affected by green marketing. However, there is no accurate information on the green marketing situation in the country's insurance industry. This research has been tried to identify the main criteria of green marketing evaluation to provide a model for a green marketing audit. In this regard, first, the main criteria were identified and approved by experts through a questionnaire. The final framework consists of 24 sub-criteria that are classified into ten criteria. Then, by using the fuzzy DEMATEL method, the internal relationships between the criteria and the hierarchical analysis method, each criterion and sub-criteria's final weight are obtained. According to the results, among the causes, the criterion of mission has the greatest effect on all criteria and takes the least effect from other criteria. So, this criterion has the most stimulus role, and by optimizing it, we can expect the optimization of other factors. The green sales factor is also strongly influenced by other factors and is optimized by optimizing other factors. Also, the criterion of the mission with an effective weight of 0.23 is the most important, and the criterion of green design with an effective weight of 0.024 is the least important Manuscript profile

        Transmission lines are widely used for transferring electrical energy from power plants to loads, interconnecting load centers and improving reliability of power systems. Due to recent society developments, the need for electrical energy has increased which in turn requires more investment in constructing additional electrical transmission lines. Power system restructuring and deregulation has increased uncertainties in transmission expansion planning and made investment in electrical transmission lines more complicated and less appealing for private parties. This paper proposes a new approach for transmission line expansion planning in deregulated networks. To do that, a multi objective programming problem which consists of various objective functions such as minimizing capital investment for constructing new transmission lines, minimizing congestion in transmission lines and maximizing the investment from private parties is suggested such that access to competitive, economic and reliable energy market is facilitated. To solve the proposed multi objective optimization problem, the Pareto differential evolution algorithm is used. Applying this algorithm to the proposed multi objective programming problem generates set of optimal plans that shows the best compromise between objective functions. The final plan, among the generated plans, is selected using a max-min fuzzy decision making. The proposed method is applied on the IEEE 24 bus test system and effectiveness of the proposed method is verified. Manuscript profile

        This paper aims to present a cloud-based learning agent-oriented approach for verification of the pacemaker behavior by monitoring and heart rate adjustment of an arrhythmic patient. In case of the pacemaker failure or inappropriate heart rate generation, the patient is put at risk. Using the proposed approach, one can directs the pacemaker rate to correct one when it is incorrect. Using a learnable software agent, the proposed approach is able to learn un-predefined situations and operates accordingly. The proposed approach is cloud based meaning that it sends a message through cloud in case of a critical situation. After determining the patient heart rate by pacemaker, the proposed method verifies this rate against the predefined physician suggestion and automatically corrects it based on a reinforcement learning mechanism if there is some conflict. The proposed method was implemented and installed on a tablet as a patient mobile device for monitoring the pacemaker implanted in the patient chest. The contrast between results of our approach and expected results existing in the dataset showed our approach improved the pacemaker accuracy until 13.24%. The use of the software agent with reinforcement learning is able to play a significant role in improving medical devices in case of critical situations. Manuscript profile

        Mobile edge computing (MEC) are new issues to improve latency, capacity and available resources in Mobile cloud computing (MCC). Mobile resources, including battery and CPU, have limited capacity. So enabling computation-intensive and latency-critical applications are important issue in MEC. In this paper, we use a standard three-level system model of mobile devices, edge and cloud, and propose two offloading and scheduling algorithms. A decision-making algorithm for offloading tasks is based on the greedy Knapsack offloading algorithm (GKOA) on the mobile device side, which selects tasks with high power consumption for offloading and it saves energy consumption of the device. On the MEC side, we also present a dynamic scheduling algorithm with fuzzy-based priority task scheduling (FPTS) for prioritizing and scheduling tasks based on two criteria. Numerical results show that our proposed work compared to other methods and reduces the waiting time, latency and system overhead. Also, provides the balance of the system with the least number of resources. And the proposed system reduces battery consumption in the smart device by up to 90%. The results show that more than 92% of tasks are executed successfully in the edge environment. Manuscript profile

        In electric vehicle’s nonlinear dynamic equations, some parameters has uncertainty such as the coefficient of rolling resistance, drag coefficient, armature resistance and field winding resistance. Design of a controller that is robust in the presence of these parametric uncertainties and also in presence of external disturbances, and on the other hand simultaneously satisfies the optimality criteria, is a challenging issue. In practical applications, in addition to the above problem, the computational load of the control input should also be considered and provide a rational interaction between the controller's desirable performance and the calculations volume. In the present paper, a robust optimal stable fuzzy controller based on the parallel distributed compensation is designed, using Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model of electric vehicle. The stabilizer feedback gains of fuzzy model, the upper bound of the uncertainties, the upper bound of the disturbances effect, and the upper bound of the cost function are obtained completely offline, through the solving of a minimization problem based on the linear matrix inequality. Therefore, the calculation volume of the control input is extremely low. This allows the practical implementation of the proposed controller. The favorable performance of the proposed controller is demonstrated in five-step simulations. Manuscript profile

        Support Vector machine is one of the most popular and efficient algorithms in machine learning. There are several versions of this algorithm, the latest of which is the fuzzy least squares twin support vector machines. On the other hand, in many machine learning applications input data is continuously generated, which has made many traditional algorithms inefficient to deal with them. In this paper, for the first time, an incremental version of the fuzzy least squares twin support vector algorithm is presented. The proposed algorithmis represented in both online and quasi-online modes. To evaluate the accuracy and precision of the proposed algorithmfirst we run our algorithm on 6 datasets of the UCI repository. Results showthe proposed algorithm is more efficient than other algorithms (even non-incremental versions). In the second phase in the experiments, we consider an application of Internet of Things, and in particular in data related to daily activities which inherently are incremental. According to experimental results, the proposed algorithm has the best performance compared to other incremental algorithms. Manuscript profile

        Wireless sensor networks consist of thousands of sensor nodes with limited energy. Energy efficiency is a fundamental challenge issue for wireless sensor networks. Clustering sensor nodes in separate categories and exchanging information through clusters is one of the ways to improve energy consumption. This paper presents a new cluster-based routing protocol called SFLCFBA. The proposed protocol biologically uses fast and effective search features inspired by the Shuffled Frog Leaping algorithm, which acts based on the Frog food behavior to cluster sensor nodes. The proposed protocol also uses fuzzy logic to calculate the node fitness, based on the two criteria of distance to the sink and the remaining energy of the sensor node or power of battery level. IEEE 802.15.4 Protocol and NODIC Protocol with the proposed methodology and OPNET Simulator were simulation and the results in terms of energy consumption, end to end delay, signal to noise ratio, the success property data and throughput were compared with each other. The results of the simulation showed that the proposed method outperforms the IEEE 802.15.4 Protocol and NODIC Protocol due to the use of the criteria listed. Manuscript profile

        With the growth and integration of distributed generation resources in smart grids, net load forecasting is of significant importance. A hybrid optimization method is proposed in this paper for probabilistic net load forecasting using neighborhood component analysis and solving regression problem with the aid of mini-batch LBFGS method. Net load forecasting is suggested in this paper trough forecast combination via adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system. The structure includes a combination of several long-term forecasts, including forecasts of load, the generation of a solar station, and the generation of a wind farm with wind turbines equipped with doubly-fed induction generator. Also, the net load forecasting and the relationship between errors of load, wind and solar predictions are studied in this paper. The simulation results of the proposed method and its comparison with Tao and quantile regression models show that mean absolute percentage error of load forecasting, and the forecasts of solar and wind generations improved by 0.947%, 0.3079% and 0042%, respectively which result to a decrease in net load forecasting error.

        In this paper, Design of a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) with adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) for controlling a shake table system with electric actuator and ball-screw mechanism. Due to the uncertainties regarding the model parameters and the noise of the data of the two encoder and accelerometer sensors, there are many problems in controlling this system. Therefore, it is crucial to employ a non-precise model-based controller and a nonlinear adaptive filter. The fuzzy sliding mode control and Extended Kalman filter are a good way to control this system. In sliding mode control, chattering at the control input is inevitable. In this paper, a simple fuzzy inference mechanism is used to reduce the undesirable phenomenon of chattering by correctly estimating the upper bound of uncertainty. In the following, a recursive method is used to determine the system and measurement noise covariance matrices. The data of the two encoder and accelerometer sensors are combined in the adaptive extended Kalman filter and the results in noise elimination and parameter estimation are investigated. Linear speed feedback available through the Kalman filter is used to stabilize and control the closed loop system. The end is examined to check the performance of the control structure provided by the seismic table test. The results show that the proposed method is very effective. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Compressional and shear velocity are two fundamental parameters, which have many applications in petrophysical, geophysical, and geomechanical operations. These two parameters can be obtained using Dipole Sonic Imaging tool (DSI), but unfortunately this tool is run just in few wells of a field. Therefore it is important to predict compressional and shear velocity indirectly from the other conventional well logs that have good correlation with these parameters in wells without these logs. Classical methods to predict the mentioned parameters are utilizing correlations and regression analysis. However, the best tool is intelligent systems including Artificial Neural Network, Fuzzy Logic, Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System, and Multi resolution graph base clustering for performing such tasks. In this paper 1321 data points from Kangan and Dalan formations which have compressional and shear velocity are used. These data are divided into two groups: 995 and 326 data points were used for construction of intelligent systems and model testing, respectively. The results showed that despite differences in concept, all of the intelligent techniques were successful for estimation of compressional and shear velocities. The Multi resolution graph base clustering. The method had the best performance among the others due to precise clustering the data points. Using this method, the compressional and shear velocity were correlated with correlation factor of 0.9505 and 0.9407, respectively. The developed model does not incorporate depth or lithological data as a part of the inputs to the network. This means that utilized methodology is applicable to any field. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Permeability estimation using core data and petrophysical logs is a conventional approach which bears high uncertainty especially in carbonate reservoir characterization. In essence, the problem consists not only due to coring expenses rate, but also ambiguity in finding proper explicit log correlation to core data. Moreover, utilizing the correlated formula in wells without core data can pose errors. In this research the permeability was estimated from conventional petrophysical logs and it was calibrated with permeability obtained from core lab experiments. Applied intelligent systems are the matter of this research for permeability values estimation. To construct permeability estimation model, three techniques have been applied including conventional ANN, the Gonzalez, and Hambalek fuzzy logic techniques. These methods were applied in two wells drilled in Surmeh reservoir in Balal field to establish ANN and to derive a relation between core and well. The models were applied in control well in order to check the reliability and capability of models to estimate representative permeability value. The result showed however three foresaid techniques for permeability estimation were successful the secondary porosity distributed the correlation due to its reduction effect on permeability so that they were not interconnected. Therefore this effect was omitted using secondary porosity index in which the permeability estimation were improved and were estimated close to core value. Manuscript profile

        Prediction of permeability that is one of the most important parameters in oil and gas reservoirs is probably the most challenging issue geologists, petrophysicists, and reservoir engineers have to deal with. This parameter control fluid flow in production stage. The most reliable data of permeability are taken from laboratory analysis of cores. Since coring is a costly and time consuming operation, researchers have tried to predict this parameter from other methods. Empirical equation is one of these methods, but results of these equations are not satisfied for all lithology and reservoirs. So far, several studies have been carried out for the estimation of reservoir parameters using intelligent systems. These studies indicate the successful role of these methods such as fuzzy logic, neuro-fuzzy and genetic algorithms for reservoir characterization. In this study, we try to compare results of these two methods (empirical equations and intelligent systems) for permeability prediction in a carbonate reservoir. For this purpose, petrophysical and core data of four well in a carbonate reservoir in the Southern Iran were used. At first, using empirical equations permeability was calculated for the test well; then using data of three wells, intelligent models were constructed. A forth well (test well) from the field was used to evaluate the models. The results show that fuzzy logic result (with R2= 0.88) is the best method for prediction of permeability in the studied reservoir. Also between empirical equations, result of Wyllie-Rose equation is better than others. Finally we offer the constructed fuzzy model (as a best predictor) for permeability prediction in the studied reservoir. Manuscript profile

        The Agnosia is a neurological condition that leads to an inability to name, recognize, and extract meaning from the visual, auditory, and sensory environment, despite the fact that the receptor organ is perfect. Visual agnosia is the most common type of this disorder. People with agnosia have trouble communicating between the mind and the brain. As a result, they cannot understand the images seen. In this paper, a model is proposed that is based on the visual pathway so that it first receives the visual stimulus and then, after understanding, the object is identified. In this paper, a model based on the visual pathway is proposed and using intelligent Fuzzy Cognitive Map will help improve image processing in the minds of these patients. First, the proposed model that is inspired by the visual perception pathway, is designed. Then, appropriate attributes that include the texture and color of the images are extracted and the concept of the seen image is perceived using Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping, the meaning recognition and the relationships between objects. This model reduces the difficulty of perceiving and recognizing objects in patients with visual agnosia. The results show that the proposed model, with 98.1% accuracy, shows better performance than other methods. Manuscript profile

        This research identified and mapped a model of critical factors to realize the green supply chain of tourism industry. Studying the literature and research background, effective factors on the emergence of the green supply chain were identified. In the quantitative phase, 100 stakeholders from the tourism industry were selected and were surveyed to identify critical factors in the green supply chain of the tourism industry. Questionnaires were used for data gathering. To analyze the research data, using the statistical analysis and t-test, the coefficient of the significance of the components was determined. To prioritize the indicators and their cause and effect, the Fuzzy Dematel technique was used in the second phase. The results of the analysis showed that all of the 33 identified factors were critical and essential. The analysis of the factors influencing the management of suppliers showed that among the 6 factors, the following three were root causes of the green supply chain: a) providing encouraging services to the supplier to pay attention to and protect the environment; b) considering the environmental characteristics as Quality Requirements Provider; and c) holding meeting with Suppliers. Meanwhile, three other factors are short-term goals in the green supply chain. They included: a) helping suppliers to solve their environmental problems; b) paying attention to environmental principles and adhering to them in holding tenders; and c) efforts to reduce environmental impacts through the timely delivery of supply commitments.

        Today, information technology has made it possible to solicit the views of different people with diverse perspectives and ideological backgrounds. Being one of the benefits of IT, crowdsourcing could, as an easy-to-use public opinion survey tool, be used as a very useful instrument wherever social participation may facilitates the identification and resolution of problems. Having carefully reviewed previous studies of the field, we found that few attempts have so far been made to induce tourists to socially participate in identifying the opportunities for the development of civilian, cultural, and social infrastructures of tourist destinations. As one of the Iranian cultural and historical tourist destinations, Yazd city has recently been enlisted in UNESCO World Heritage sites and has attracted the attention of many tourists worldwide. Having said that, it appears that its tourism capacities and infrastructures need to be developed. This study, therefore, sought to identify the criteria which could be effective in the success of tourist crowdsourcing in offering appropriate solutions for the development of tourism in Yazd. To this end, the primary criteria for the successful implementation of crowdsourcing were extracted from the relevant literature, from which 25 criteria in six general categories were screened and identified via Delphi method. To rank the criteria mentioned, the opinions of Yazd tourism experts were collected through paired comparisons, being analyzed and ranked by fuzzy network analysis. The finding of the study indicated that human resources and cultural indices with the weights of 0.28 and 0.21 respectively were the most important factors in the success of tourist crowdsourcing.

        As a service industry that has significantly expanded in recent years, tourism plays an important role in developing many countries, including Iran, which enjoys various unique historical, religious, cultural, and natural sites and a four-season climate. Therefore, this study set out to examine the efficiency of Iran's tourism industry using tourism data regarding its 31 provinces during the years 2011 to 2017, including the information concerning the budget allocated to the tourism sector, the number of accommodation places, the number of tourist attraction sites in each province, and the number of domestic and foreign tourists. To this end, Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis was used to analyze the collected data. The study's results showed that Ardabil, Tehran, Kohkiluyeh Boyer-Ahmad, and Gilan had had the efficiency in terms of tourism throughout the study period, with their average efficiency as a primary criterion for assessing the efficiency of the country's tourism industry reported as average. Moreover, the analysis of the tourism industry's efficiency in different climates suggested that the highest efficiency belonged to the temperate and humid climate, and the lowest one was related to the hot and dry climate. Therefore, it seems that facilitating transportation infrastructure and providing welfare facilities, especially in provinces with low efficiency, could help use the potentials of different provinces to develop the country's tourism industry.

        "Contrary to automotive, commodity-based, and money-oriented cities, a people-oriented city is an organic and systematic city based on human virtues and commune where people are concerned about each others’ rights. In such a city, humans are the main focus of urban planners, urban developers, and, most importantly, municipal decision-makers and executives. Therefore, here the biological, spiritual, and psychological needs of humans are the fundamental elements taken into account by urban management. This city, then, could unite urban spaces and tourists. Considering its great potentials, Yazd could be a good case for tourism development, building people-oriented cities, and improving the desirability of urban life. This qualitative-quantitative study sought to explore the feasibility of building a people-oriented city in Yazd province based on urban planning and the causal factors involved in this regard, intending to attract more tourists to this region. To this end, 14 interviews were conducted with tourism and urban planning experts, out of which 19 factors involved in building such a city were identified. The causal relationship between the identified factors was examined through a mixed-method approach, using the fuzzy cognitive mapping technique. The study’s findings indicated that educating the citizens, developing a sense of familiarity with the environment, and reducing environmental pollutions (soil, water, air) were the three most important factors for developing people oriented-cities in Yazd province, Iran.

        This study sought to identify and prioritize the development steps of cultural tourism in rural areas of Lorestan province using the qualitative-quantitative method and exploratory approach. To this end, at the first stage, 19 semi-structured interviews were conducted with cultural tourism experts to identify the steps involved in cultural tourism development, out of which thirty-three solutions were identified in four main steps via open, axial, and selective coding. At the second stage, the Delphi-Fuzzy technique was applied in two stages to reach a consensus among the experts and prioritize cultural tourism development steps through the defuzzification process. The results showed that the identified strategies for cultural tourism development in Lorestan province could be categorized into four main steps: "Education and Innovation," "Physical Infrastructure," "Supportive-Institutional," and "Cultural-Advertising." Moreover, since the defuzzificated mean difference of the experts' opinion was less than 0.25 in two steps, all the identified solutions were proved to be valid. The results also indicated that the first and foremost step in tourism development was "education and innovation," followed by physical infrastructure, supportive-institutional, and cultural-promotional steps, respectively. Furthermore, at each step, the most important solutions were found to be advertising for tourism villages, identifying villages with tourism potentials, providing banking facilities for villagers to help them develop tourism, and building cultural elements and particular architectures in rural areas, respectively.

        Maximizing area coverage is an important issue in the placement of wireless network sensors, the realization of which helps to improve the network monitoring power. In many applications, the sensors are first randomly distributed in the sensing filed and then their placement is modified. The virtual force algorithm (VFA) tries to achieve a more desirable deployment from an initial sensing deployment by considering repulsive and attractive forces between the sensors. In this paper, the combination of Takashi-Sugeno fuzzy system with VFA is used to achieve a better redeployment of the sensors. To adaptively adjust optimal distance value of the sensors, two fuzzy methods are proposed in this paper and their role in improving performance of the virtual force algorithm is analyzed. Comparison of the performance of the proposed methods with the state-of-the-art reveals that intelligent and adaptive adjustment of the optimal distance using a fuzzy system leads to higher final coverage ratio over traditional virtual force algorithm (VFA), improved virtual force algorithm (IVFA), fuzzy redeployment algorithm (FRED), and two metaheuristics GA, and PSO. On the other hand, the proposed VF-based methods require much less time to solve the problem than GA and PSO metaheuristic methods. Manuscript profile

        Failure to properly manage limited resources can ultimately lead to failure for these businesses. These businesses play an important role in inventing new methods that lead to technological changes and increased production capacity. It can be said that such units are driven by change and competition, as they alter the overall structure of the market. The creation and development of these businesses is an important policy for creating new jobs, accelerating economic improvement, and fostering the growth of countries. Therefore, special attention should be paid to new businesses. This research aims to identify important factors by examining different models of customer satisfaction as well as theses and papers in this field. By presenting an indigenous model, the research first uses the best-worst fuzzy method to weight the e-business customer satisfaction factors. Then, using a fuzzy TOPSIS technique, it examines one category of e-business, namely online stores, and ranks them in terms of customer satisfaction criteria. The results show that this model, with high computational efficiency and compatibility, highlights the priority of customer satisfaction factors. Additionally, communication and interaction criteria were ranked as the most important, followed by product and service quality, price/time, and sales and after-sales service. Interactions, value/time benchmarking, quality benchmarking, and ultimately sales and after-sales service warranty were identified as the best sub-criteria. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study is to detect and quantify the cultivated area of potato fields in Hamadan Province using remote sensing methods and a time series of satellite photos. As a result, Awifs time-series imaging was used to determine the potato cropping area. For this purpose, pictures were taken at three different times when the potato plant turned green and yellow. Processing such as preparation, atmospheric and geometric correction, vegetation index, and unsupervised classification were performed on the images using appropriate training sites for supervised classification. Following the integration of these two layers, the studied area under the cropping map was prepared using the phase classification method. Additionally, by using the vegetation indices NDVI and SAVI, the area under cropping for the three main crop yields is determined first using the threshold level technique and in three temporal intervals. The kapa coefficient for potato under cropping area determined by phase classification, NDVI, and SAVI was 90, 87, and 85%, respectively. In 1998, the potato cropping area was determined to be 38740, 36728, and 36614 acres, respectively. This study clearly shows that the phase classification method and Awif data time series can be used to recognize and estimate potato under cropping area with acceptable precision and that vegetation indices distinguish potato under cropping area faster.

        Green human resources management, as a strong tool that takes the role of human factors, can help organizations to fulfill their social responsibilities in order to protect the environment. This research has been carried out with the aim of systematically reviewing previous researches in the field of green human resources management, as well as identifying key elements and providing a structural model to implement the green human resources management process in the chemical and petrochemical industries of Bushehr province. By studying thematic literature and using the textual content analysis approach, six basic indicators were counted, and in order to localize them in order to implement green human resources management in the chemical and petrochemical industries, the Delphi technique was used in three rounds. The statistical population of the research was formed by managers and experts familiar with the subject and working in the field of petrochemical industries. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, and its validity and reliability were also confirmed. In order to design the structural model of the effective indicators for the implementation of the green human resources management process, the interpretive structural modeling approach in the fuzzy environment was used to manage linguistic ambiguities in judgments. The results of the modeling and analysis of Mik Mak showed that individual, group and organizational indicators are among the basic and influential indicators in the field of Sabza's human resources management; Therefore, managers are suggested to emphasize and pay more attention to this group of indicators.

        The purpose of this study is to help increase the productivity of public agencies, in today's highly competitive and ever-changing world, by finding factors that affect the attraction of capable, committed and competent human resources. Obviously, the resulting model will be effective in helping to achieve development, which is one of the goals of the 1404 vision document, by helping to attract specialized and qualified human resources. To achieve this purpose, the indicators were collected using literature review and the opinions of 20 experts in public administration, human resource management and senior managers of public agencies using” Expert Panel technique”. Quantitative data were collected through the distribution of 180 questionnaires in the “Administrative and Employment organization of the whole country”, as the custodian of employment in IRAN. Statistical analysis of research data is done by EXCEL and Lisrel software and through confirmatory factor analysis. Also, fuzzy Dimatel analysis is performed to find the relationship between these factors. The findings of the analysis confirm the impact of the four mentioned factors on human resource recruitment and show that three factors out of the four (environmental factors, organizational factors and individual competencies) have a cause role and one dimension (Job related factors) have the effect role on recruitment. This means that human resource management can use this plan to improve recruit of human resources, by identifying the causal factors and facilitating them without making a direct effort on effective factor.

        Today, quality is one of the most important factors in attracting customer satisfaction and loyalty to service organizations. Therefore, one of the main concerns of managers is to improve the quality of services. With the development of the Internet and the world of communications, a concept called cloud computing has expanded in the world of communications, which provides a new model for the supply, consumption and delivery of computing services. The purpose of this study is to make the optimal decision in choosing the appropriate cloud service according to the conditions of users so that they achieve the highest satisfaction. Fuzzy Delphi method, fuzzy hierarchical analysis method, fuzzy TOPSIS method and finally multi-criteria decision making method are the methods used in this research. The results of the fuzzy Delphi method show that the indicators of transparency, accessibility and reliability should be eliminated. The results of fuzzy hierarchical analysis identified the cost index as the most important index and the support index during demand as the least important index. According to the results of fuzzy TOPSIS based on the weights obtained from fuzzy hierarchical analysis, SAAS, IAAS and PAAS cloud services were ranked first to third, respectively. Using the SAAS service provides numerous benefits to employees and companies, such as reducing time and money spent on time-consuming tasks such as installing, managing, and upgrading software.

        To create a customer-based marketing strategy, it is necessary to perform a proper analysis of customer data so that customers can be separated from each other or predict their future behavior. The datasets related to customers in any business usually are high-dimensional with too many instances and include both supervised and unsupervised ones. For this reason, companies today are trying to satisfy their customers as much as possible. This issue requires careful consideration of customers from several aspects. Data mining algorithms are one of the practical methods in businesses to find the required knowledge from customer’s both demographic and behavioral. This paper presents a hybrid clustering algorithm using the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) method and the Modified Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (MCOA). Since customer data analysis has a key role in ensuring a company's profitability, The Insurance Company (TIC) dataset is utilized for the experiments and performance evaluation. We compare the convergence of the proposed FCM-MCOA approach with some conventional optimization methods, such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO). Moreover, we suggest a customer classifier using the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Simulation results reveal that the FCM-MCOA converges faster than conventional clustering methods. In addition, the results indicate that the accuracy of the CNN-based classifier is more than 98%. CNN-based classifier converges after some couples of iterations, which shows a fast convergence in comparison with the conventional classifiers, such as Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighborhood (KNN), and Naive Bayes (NB) classifiers.

        The purpose of this article is to identify and present a high-risk investment model for insurance institutions in order to establish a risky insurance investment fund. The insurance industry is one of the strongest and most important supporting institutions of financial institutions, through risk coverage and investment of technical reserves in financial and real assets and the implementation of profitable economic activities, it plays a very important role in the dynamics of financial markets. Creating a decision-making model in a fuzzy environment provides this possibility for decision-makers so that they can more easily comment on the evaluation of options and determining the importance of decision-making criteria. In this article, it has been tried to identify and introduce the most important factors and effective factors of venture capital (VC) using the technique of fuzzy network analysis process in the insurance industry. The data needed for the research has been collected through in-depth interviews with a number of experts and researchers in the insurance industry, as well as a questionnaire. Due to the lack of independence and the existence of dependence between the effective factors, the method of fuzzy network analysis process was used to identify the possible dependencies between factors and measure them for the development of the VC model, and the results were prioritized with the method of non-fuzzy network analysis process. Is. The findings of the research show that operating cycle indicators, total asset turnover ratio, total investment return, loss factor, asset-liability ratio are ranked first to fifth among VC indicators. VCs help the insurance industry establish internal accounting rules and standardize their financial statements. In other words, VC support modifies the "hard" and "soft" information required for insurance.. Manuscript profile

        A logical solution to consider the overlap of clusters is assigning a set of membership degrees to each data point. Fuzzy clustering, due to its reduced partitions and decreased search space, generally incurs lower computational overhead and easily handles ambiguous, noisy, and outlier data. Thus, fuzzy clustering is considered an advanced clustering method. However, fuzzy clustering methods often struggle with non-linear data relationships. This paper proposes a method based on feasible ideas that utilizes multicore learning within the Hadoop map reduce framework to identify inseparable linear clusters in complex big data structures. The multicore learning model is capable of capturing complex relationships among data, while Hadoop enables us to interact with a logical cluster of processing and data storage nodes instead of interacting with individual operating systems and processors. In summary, the paper presents the modeling of non-linear data relationships using multicore learning, determination of appropriate values for fuzzy parameterization and feasibility, and the provision of an algorithm within the Hadoop map reduce model. The experiments were conducted on one of the commonly used datasets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, as well as on the implemented CloudSim dataset simulator, and satisfactory results were obtained.According to published studies, the UCI Machine Learning Repository is suitable for regression and clustering purposes in analyzing large-scale datasets, while the CloudSim dataset is specifically designed for simulating cloud computing scenarios, calculating time delays, and task scheduling.

significant growth of energy consumption, increase of greenhouse gases and environmental pollutants, more attention is directed toward renewable energies. Renewable energies include geothermal, wind, photovoltaic energy and etc. Among the advantages of photovoltaic energy, its wide range and easy access, helping to preserve the environment, compatibility with distributed power networks, low noise, quick installation and lower cost compared to other energies can be noted. Important challenges facing photovoltaic systems are changing climatic conditions and parameters variation that affect the performance of the system. In this paper, to track the maximum power point in a photovoltaic system, a fuzzy fractional order sliding mode controller based on disturbance observer and uncertainty estimator using neural network is designed. The sliding mode control is used to reduce chattering, neural network to estimate the system uncertainties, fuzzy system to estimate the coefficient of the signum function in the control law and disturbance observer to approximate the disturbances in the system. Also, the stability of the system has been proven using the Lyapunov method. The simulation results of the photovoltaic system confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method and shows satisfactory performance.</span></p> Manuscript profile

        The results of the programs implemented in rural areas for development in most cases are not only not useful but also make the current situation of the villages more chaotic, this is due to lack of proper management in the process of programs, with new management, villagers can Participate in the implementation of programs. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the causal pattern of criteria affecting modern rural management. The present study is applied according to its purpose, and based on descriptive-causal method. The statistical sample of the study consisted of 30 experts and specialists related to rural management. In order to achieve the research goal, fuzzy dimethyl technique was used. Findings of the study showed that among the four criteria of modern rural management, the criterion of responsibility was the most effective and the criterion of initiative was the most effective criterion of modern rural management. Also, the criterion of accountability was identified as the most important criterion of modern rural management. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this paper is to identify and present a high-risk investment model for insurance institutions in order to establish a risky insurance investment fund. In this paper, it has been tried to identify and introduce the most important factors and effective factors of venture capital (VC) using the technique of fuzzy network analysis process in the insurance industry. The data needed for the research has been collected through in-depth interviews with a number of experts and researchers in the insurance industry, as well as a questionnaire. Due to the lack of independence and the existence of dependence between the effective factors, the method of fuzzy network analysis process was used to identify the possible dependencies between factors and measure them for the development of the VC model, and the results were prioritized with the method of non-fuzzy network analysis process. Is. The findings of the research show that operating cycle indicators, total asset turnover ratio, total investment return, loss factor, asset-liability ratio are ranked first to fifth among VC indicators. VCs help the insurance industry establish internal accounting rules and standardize their financial statements. In other words, VC support modifies the "hard" and "soft" information required for insurance. Manuscript profile

        Despite the emphasis of researchers and experts on the need to implement digital signatures and the progress of technology towards the digitization of all affairs and electronic governance, Iran is still facing the challenge of implementing digital signatures. The purpose of this article is to identify and analyze the key drivers of digital signature implementation in Iran with a fuzzy Delphi approach. In terms of practical purpose and in terms of information gathering, the research has benefited from a hybrid approach. The statistical community consists of all experts and specialists in the field of information technology and digital signature and articles in this field. The sample size of the statistical community of experts is 13 people who were selected by the purposeful sampling method. 31 articles were selected based on their availability and downloadable, non-technical nature, and relevance to the topic. The method of data analysis was done according to the fuzzy Delphi approach. Validity and reliability were calculated and confirmed using the CVR index and Cohen's kappa test with coefficients of 0.83 and 0.93, respectively. The results prove that the key drivers of digital signature implementation in Iran include 5 main dimensions and 30 concepts, which are 1) security (information confidentiality, information security, sender authentication, document authentication, privacy protection, trust between parties), 2) business (digital business models, communication needs, staff management, organization size, organizational structure, organization resources, organizational culture, top managers, competition ecosystem, e-governance), 3) user (perceived convenience, perceived benefit, consumer behavior, consumer literacy, consumer lifestyle), 4) technical (development of technical infrastructure, systems integration, system complexity, system tanks, design quality, technical speed of certificate production and verification, impermeability of hackers) and 5) Legal (legal licenses, penal laws, legislative body, e-commerce laws). It is suggested that in the field of digital signature implementation, special attention should be paid to rewriting rules, training users, creating a security culture, and digital signature policymakers should invite knowledge-based companies to cooperate in developing infrastructure and making relevant software competitive.
