Multiple-Criteria Decision Making
Decision-making on real-world problems, including individual process decisions, requires an appropriate and reliable decision support system. Fuzzy set theory, rough set theory, and neutrosophic set theory, which are MCDM techniques, are useful for modeling complex decision-making problems with imprecise, ambiguous, or vague data.This Special Issue, “Multiple Criteria Decision Making”, aims to incorporate recent developments in the area of the multi-criteria decision-making field. Topics include, but are not limited to:- MCDM optimization in engineering;- Environmental sustainability in engineering processes;- Multi-criteria production and logistics process planning;- New trends in multi-criteria evaluation of sustainable processes;- Multi-criteria decision making in strategic management based on sustainable criteria

Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures
This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Foundations of Software Science and Computational Structures, FOSSACS 2021, which was held during March 27 until April 1, 2021, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2021. The conference was planned to take place in Luxembourg and changed to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 28 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 88 submissions. They deal with research on theories and methods to support the analysis, integration, synthesis, transformation, and verification of programs and software systems
Intensional Cyberforensics
This work focuses on the application of intensional logic to cyberforensic
analysis and its benefits and difficulties are compared with the
finite-state-automata approach. This work extends the use of the intensional
programming paradigm to the modeling and implementation of a cyberforensics
investigation process with backtracing of event reconstruction, in which
evidence is modeled by multidimensional hierarchical contexts, and proofs or
disproofs of claims are undertaken in an eductive manner of evaluation. This
approach is a practical, context-aware improvement over the finite state
automata (FSA) approach we have seen in previous work. As a base implementation
language model, we use in this approach a new dialect of the Lucid programming
language, called Forensic Lucid, and we focus on defining hierarchical contexts
based on intensional logic for the distributed evaluation of cyberforensic
expressions. We also augment the work with credibility factors surrounding
digital evidence and witness accounts, which have not been previously modeled.
The Forensic Lucid programming language, used for this intensional
cyberforensic analysis, formally presented through its syntax and operational
semantics. In large part, the language is based on its predecessor and
codecessor Lucid dialects, such as GIPL, Indexical Lucid, Lucx, Objective
Lucid, and JOOIP bound by the underlying intensional programming paradigm.Comment: 412 pages, 94 figures, 18 tables, 19 algorithms and listings; PhD
