This paper examines the single-commodity network design problem with stochastic edge capacities. We characterize the structures of the optimal designs and compare with the deterministic counterparts. We do this partly to understand what constitutes robust network designs, but also to construct a...

In this paper, we propose a novel method to mine association rules for classification problems namely AFSRC (AFS association rules for classification) realized in the framework of the axiomatic fuzzy set (AFS) theory. This model provides a simple and efficient rule generation mechanism. It can...
