An Extension of the EDAS Method Based on the Use of Interval Grey Numbers

Dragisa Stanujkic1, Edmundas Kazimieras Zavadskas2, Mehdi KESHAVARZ Ghorabaee3, Zenonas Turskis4 ABSTRACT: In order to solve a number of real decision-making problems, over time, a number of multiple criteria decision-making methods have been proposed. The EDAS method is one of the newly proposed methods; its computational procedure can be identified …

Improved Security Based on Combined Encryption and Steganography Techniques

Stefan MOCANU, Andrei DULUTA, Daniel MEREZEANU, Radu PIETRARU University Politehnica of Bucharest, 313 Splaiul Independentei, 060042, Romania. stefan.mocanu@upb.ro ABSTRACT: For some people a science, for other people just an art, steganography is in fact an ancient method of embedding a message into an apparently uninteresting carrier. Aiming to protect information, …

Observers Design for Discrete-Event Systems Modelled by S-Nets

Raul CAMPOS-RODRIGUEZ, Mildreth ALCARAZ-MEJIA ITESO University, Periferico Sur # 8585, Tlaquepaque, 45604, Mexico. campos@iteso.mx, mildreth@iteso.mx ABSTRACT: This paper addresses the design of observers for Discrete-Event Systems modelled by Output Petri nets.
