Environmental planning is complex, and requires careful consideration of a large number of factors, including quantitative ones (e.g., water balance) and qualitative ones (e.g., heterogeneous stakeholder input). To better integrate these factors, value-driven frameworks have been designed in the environmental conservation community. These frameworks are currently largely utilized manually by conservation...
In this paper we present an online fuzzy logic toolkit for the design, implementation, execution and sharing of type-1 (Tl), interval type-2 (T2) and (zSlices based) general T2 fuzzy logic system (FLSs). The motivation to develop the toolkit stems from the desire to provide a free-to-use fuzzy logic toolkit available which is platform-independent, easily accessible and which does not require any background...
Social media are online platforms that facilitate global collaboration and sharing amongst users. New social media applications in e-business and e-commerce appear on a daily basis and result in enormous shocks to the ecosystem of individuals and businesses. This minitrack provides a forum for the exchange of research ideas and best practices related to social media in e-business environments. It...
In this paper we introduce a Java based toolkit for the development of type-1, interval type-2 and (zSlices based) general type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLSs) which is available as a free download. We describe our motivation for the release of such a toolkit in Java - to improve the accessibility to specifically type-2 FLSs to users both in industry and academia beyond the fuzzy logic research community,...
The Smart Grid initiative aims at transforming the public power grid to a flexible and intelligent energy utility. With this advancement, numerous applications can be implemented which are hard - if not impossible - to realize with today's technologies. For instance, in case of rolling blackouts, the power supply of critical infrastructures such as hospitals or traffic lights, can be prioritized immediately...
We seek to understand the perceived value of virtual communities based on three site assets: community members, knowledge (content), and technology. Extending Preece's two-dimensional model of community (sociability) and technology (usability) and considering perceived site value instead of community success, we formulate a three-dimensional model, which we empirically test for its impact on perceived...
In this paper, we describe the main functionality of an initial version of a new fuzzy logic software toolkit based on the R language. The toolkit supports the implementation of several types of fuzzy logic inference systems and we discuss and present several aspects of its capabilities to allow the straightforward implementation of type-1 and interval type-2 fuzzy systems. We include source code...
