Developing a Fuzzy Logic Decision Support System for Strategic Planning in Industrial Organizations
Journal Title: International Journal of Intelligent Systems and Applications in Engineering - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Internal – External (IE), Strategic Position and Action Evaluation (SPACE), Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and Grand Strategy matrices are important tools in generating and evaluating alternative output strategies which is the most important step in the formulation stage in strategic management process. Managers need to make difficult and important decisions on the basis of imprecise information and incomplete knowledge and select the right strategic position or alternative output strategies.

Particle Swarm Optimization with Flexible Swarm for Unconstrained Optimization
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm inspired from behaviour of bird flocking and fish schooling. It is well-known algorithm which has been used in many areas successfully. However it sometimes suffers from premat...
Power System Contingency Ranking using Fuzzy Logic Based Approach
Voltage stability is a major concern in planning and operations of power systems. It is well known that voltage instability and collapse have led to major system failures. Modern transmission networks are more heavily lo...
New Approach in E-mail Based Text Steganography
In this study combination of lossless compression techniques and Vigenere cipher was used in text steganography that makes use of email addresses to be the keys to reconstruct the secret message which has been embedded i...
Rainfall estimation based on NAW approach using MSG-SEVIRI images: An application in north Algeria
In this work, we will adapt the NAW (Nagri, Adler and Wetzel) precipitation, estimation approach to the north Algeria events using the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite images. The tests are carried out on seven...
Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm Based Linear Quadratic Optimal Controller Design for a Nonlinear Inverted Pendulum
This paper presents a linear quadratic optimal controller design for a nonlinear inverted pendulum. Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), an optimal control method, is usually used for control of the dynamical systems. Main...
