{"product_id":"fuzzy-hybrid-computing-in-construction-engineering-and-management","title":"Fuzzy Hybrid Computing in Construction Engineering and Management","description":"This book provides an introduction to fuzzy logic and surveys emerging\nresearch trends and the application of state-of-the-art fuzzy hybrid\ncomputing techniques in the field of construction engineering and\nmanagement. Authors cover the theory and implementation of fuzzy\nhybrid computing methodologies for arithmetic, optimization, machine\nlearning, multi-criteria decision-making, simulation, cognitive maps and data\nmodelling. The practical application of these techniques to solve real-world\nproblems across a wide range of construction engineering and management\nissues is also demonstrated and discussed. \u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe completion of effectively planned, executed and controlled construction\nprojects is dependent on numerous interacting factors and human activities,\nboth of which introduce vagueness and subjective uncertainty into already\ncomplex processes. While expert knowledge is an essential component of\neffective decision-making, analysis and consideration of expert knowledge\nexpressed in linguistic terms remains a challenging aspect of construction\nengineering and management. \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFuzzy logic, which has applications in many disciplines, has the potential\nto address certain challenges inherent in construction engineering and\nmanagement, in part because of its strengths in modelling human reasoning,\ndealing with subjective uncertainty and computing with linguistic terms.\nHowever, fuzzy logic alone has a number of limitations that can only be\novercome by its integration with other, complementary methodologies,\ntogether leading to advanced and powerful fuzzy hybrid computing\ntechniques. \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis book is of particular interest to students, researchers and practitioners\nwho want to learn about the latest developments in fuzzy hybrid computing\nin construction engineering and management.","brand":"Emerald Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54219747131736,"sku":"9781787438699","price":112.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/fuzzy-hybrid-computing-in-construction-engineering-and-management","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
