The series “Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing” contains publications on
various topics in the area of soft computing, which include fuzzy sets, rough sets,
neural networks, evolutionary computation, probabilistic and evidential reasoning,
multi-valuedlogic,andrelatedfields.Thepublicationswithin“StudiesinFuzziness
and Soft Computing” are primarily monographs and edited volumes. They cover
significant recent developments in the field, both of a foundational and applicable
character. An important feature of the series is its short publication time and
world-wide distribution. This permits a rapid and broad dissemination of research
results.

Preface
Nowadays,competitivenessinallbusinesssectorsisduetothenumberofcompa-
nies and the requirements of decision makers and users. Several companies focus
on the development and accretion of systems with a high level of reliability and
dependability. Also, in the present situation, the compulsion on different manu-
facturing companies to appraise the most effective ways to control business poli-
cies has become a formidable task. Again, with continued economic deregulation,
increasedsafety,risingcustomerexpectations,risingglobalization,refinedmodern
technologicalsystems,andaconstantlychangingmodeofbusiness,thecompany’s
manager faces a stressful ritual for maintaining the business systems. Moreover,
