"Evaluating Production Efficiency in China" analyzes production through engineering and statistics, introducing observable benchmarks for efficiency. It explores computing technologies, decision-making impacts, and optimal resource allocation, highlighting China's production efficiency evolution over 30 years and the role of foreign direct investment in these changes.
Intelligent Decision Technologies (IDT) fosters research on intelligent systems and technologies that enhance decision-making across industry, government, and academia. This interdisciplinary focus encompasses all aspects of intelligent decision technologies, from fundamental development to applied systems. This volume showcases leading research from the Third KES International Symposium on Intelligent Decision Technologies (KES IDT’11), organized by the University of Piraeus, Greece, in collaboration with KES International. The symposium addressed the theory, design, development, implementation, testing, and evaluation of intelligent decision systems. Key topics included decision-making theory, intelligent agents, fuzzy logic, multi-agent systems, Bayesian networks, optimization, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, expert systems, decision support systems, geographic information systems, case-based reasoning, time series, knowledge management systems, rough sets, spatial decision analysis, and multi-criteria decision analysis. These technologies hold the potential to transform decision-making across various fields, including management, healthcare, international business, finance, accounting, marketing, military applications, e-commerce, network management, crisis response, building design, information retrieval, and disaster recovery, paving the way for a better future.
