Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Time Series: An Application to Tourism Demand ForecastingMuhammad Hisyam Lee, Maria Elena Nor, Suhartono et al.Problem statement: Forecasting is very important in many types of organizations since predictions of future events must be incorporated into the decision-making process. In the case of tourism demand, better forecast would help directors and investors make operational, tactical and strategic decisions. Besides that, government bodies need accurate tourism demand forecasts to plan required tourism infrastructures, such as accommodation site … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2011 · 8,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Discrete Event Simulation Framework for Utility Accrual Scheduling Algorithm in Uniprocessor EnvironmentIdawaty Ahmad, Shamala Subramaniam, Mohamed Othman, Zuriati ZulkarnainProblem statement: The heterogeneity in the choice of simulation platforms for real time scheduling stands behind the difficulty of developing a common simulation environment. A Discrete Event Simulation (DES) for a real time scheduling domain encompassing event definition, time advancing mechanism and scheduler has yet to be developed. Approach: The study focused on the proposed and the development of an … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 14 Jul 2011 · 7,227 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagerial Administration of Farming Machinery for Rice ProductionYosphatrachai Phuangpee, Pradtana YossuckProblem statement: This research was conducted due to an increase of agricultural machinery cost for rice production (46.00%) of farmers in Phichit province. Based on an analysis of cost reduction using the method of John Deere, it was found that this may decrease from 46.00-28.50% of the total cost. Thus, there was a question how to mange the agricultural machinery. … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,834 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeveraging Appreciative Intelligence for Positive Enactment in Times of Uncertainty: A Case Study of a Small Investment FirmSusan Schick Case, Tojo ThatchenkeryProblem statement: How do we develop a complex understanding of markets and environments? Are markets and environments concrete entities that exist “out there” or are they socially constructed by human imagination and intentional language use? Approach: Using a case study approach, the interactions in a small investment firm were analyzed to bring to surface the complex relationship among markets, enactment … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymmetry Effect of Inflation on Inflation Uncertainty in Iran: Using from EGARCH Model, 1959-2009Dahmardeh Nazar, Pourshahabi Farshid, Khani Zade Amiri MojtabaProblem statement: In this study, we tried to examine the relationship between inflation and inflation uncertainty in Iran, because of considerable variation in its inflation rate. Approach: Inflation uncertainty is the major cost of high inflation that can influence the decision making of economic agents. Results: This study constructed a time series of seasonally inflation uncertainty in Iran from 1959-2009 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
