Requirement Prioritization

The importance of the prioritization in commercial software development has been analyzed by many researchers. The gathered requirements are required to be put into an order of some priority. In other words we can say that there is a need to prioritize the requirements. It is evident that most of the approaches and techniques proposed in recent research to prioritize the requirements have not been widely adopted. These approaches are too complex, time consuming, or inconsistent and difficult to implement In this paper we propose a fuzzy based approach for requirement prioritization in which  requirement are prioritized in early phase of requirement engineering as post elicitation step. This category of prioritization is known as early requirement prioritization. The proposed fuzzy based approach considers the nature of requirements by modeling their attributes as fuzzy variables. As such, these variables are integrated into a fuzzy based inference system in which the requirements represented as input attributes and ranked via the expected value operator of a fuzzy variable.

Bifuzzy Variable

A fuzzy variable is a function from a possibility space to the set of real numbers, while a bifuzzy variable is a function from a possibility space to the set of fuzzy variables. In this paper, a concept of chance distribution is originally presented for bifuzzy variable, and the linearity of expected value operator of bifuzzy variable is proved. Furthermore, bifuzzy simulations are designed and illustrated by some numerical experiments.

Definition Of

Random fuzzy variable is mapping from a possibility space to a collection of random variables. This paper first presents a new definition of the expected value operator of a random fuzzy variable, and proves the linearity of the operator. Then, a random fuzzy simulation approach, which combines fuzzy simulation and random simulation, is designed to estimate the expected value of a random fuzzy variable. Based on the new expected value operator, three types of random fuzzy expected value models are presented to model decision systems where fuzziness and randomness appear simultaneously. In addition, random fuzzy simulation, neural networks and genetic algorithm are integrated to produce a hybrid intelligent algorithm for solving those random fuzzy expected valued models. Finally, three numerical examples are provided to illustrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Possibility, necessity and credibility measures are used in the literature in order to deal with imprecision. Recently, Yang and Iwamura [L. Yang and K. Iwamura, Applied Mathematical Science 2(46) (2008) 2271–2288] introduced a new measure as convex linear combination of possibility and necessity measures and they determined some of its axioms. In this paper, we introduce characteristics (parameters) of a fuzzy variable based on that measure, namely, expected value, variance, semi-variance, skewness, kurtosis and semi-kurtosis. We determine some properties of these characteristics and we compute them for trapezoidal and triangular fuzzy variables. We display their application for the determination of optimal portfolios when assets returns are described by triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy variables.

High computation complexity restricts the application prospects of the interval type-2 fuzzy variable (IT2-FV), despite its high degree of freedom in representing uncertainty. Thus, this paper studies the fuzzy operations for the regular symmetric triangular IT2-FVs (RSTIT2-FVs)—the simplest IT2-FVs having the greatest membership degrees of 1. Firstly, by defining the medium of an RSTIT2-FV, its membership function, credibility distribution, and inverse distribution are analytically and explicitly expressed. Secondly, an operational law for fuzzy arithmetic operations regarding mutually independent RSTIT2-FVs is proposed, which can simplify the calculations and directly output the inverse credibility of the functions. Afterwards, the operational law is applied to define the expected value operator of the IT2-FV and prove the linearity of the operator. Finally, some comparative examples are provided to verify the efficiency of the proposed operational law.

As a natural extension of the fuzzy variable, a bifuzzy variable is defined as a mapping from a credibility space to the collection of fuzzy variables, which is an appropriate tool to model the two-fold fuzzy phenomena. In order to enrich its theoretical foundation, this paper explores some important measures for regular bifuzzy variables, the most commonly used type of bifuzzy variables. Firstly, we introduce the regular bifuzzy variables’ mean chance measure and some properties, including self-duality and its calculation formulas. Furthermore, we also investigate the mean chance distribution for strictly monotone functions of regular bifuzzy variables based on the proposed operational law. Finally, we present the expected value operator as well as equivalent analytical formulas of the expected value of regular bifuzzy variables and their strictly monotone functions.
