Fuzzy modelling to enhance cooperative management

Abstract

Efficient management of any complex system, such as modern enterprise networks, depends on understanding the roles of its constituents and their interactions with one another. As such, awareness modelling and levels can play significant roles in improving the management efficiency. The awareness levels in human beings and managers have a fuzzy nature with linguistic variables extensively used in their definitions and communications. This paper explores the notion of fuzzy logic and soft computing to improve awareness modelling to achieve more effective cooperative management. This is further demonstrated through its application to an illustrative example
