Recently, the balanced scorecard approach (BSC), as an effective multi-criteria evaluation concept received much attention in organizational performance measurement. Although the BSC conceptual framework has been widely accepted in the business community, the proper method of implementing the framework remains an issue. Hence, this study has developed a hybrid expert system composition of BSC, Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and fuzzy inference system (FIS) to evaluate the food producing companies. To this aim, this paper applied a graph theory based technique (DEMATEL) to determine critical criteria of BSC’s perspectives. The results show that “Profit”, “Customer satisfaction”, “Customer communication”, “Innovation management” and “Organizational asset management”, are of more importance in performance evaluation. In the next step, these criteria shape a fuzzy rule based inference system with linguistic variables and the membership functions are adjusted by experts. The results of proposed approach in food industry of Guilan province, Iran, show its applicability for evaluating the food companies. Manuscript profile -

This paper is based on panel data of banks for the period from 2011 to 2015. The DEA analysis based on hybrid method of DEA AND TOPSIS is used for ranking efficient Decision Making Units(DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). However, since each of these methods considers a certain theory for ranking, there may exist different ranks. In practice, choosing a ranking method, the results of which the Decision Maker (DM) would be able to trust is an important issue. Manuscript profile -

This study predicts a negative correlation between external financing and stock returns. The dependent variable of the research is stock returns and the independent variables are net financing and equity ratio. Also, control variables of the research includes assets growth, company’s size and company’s age. In this research, the hypotheses have been tested using the financial statements of 178 industrial companies accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange over the 2012-2016 period and also regression models with panel data. The results indicate a positive correlation between external financing, in both net and composition cases, with abnormal stock returns and also a negative correlation between external financing –again in both net and composition cases- with abnormal stock returns in the stock model. In addition, when we use net and composition financing simultaneously, there is not a significant relationship between net and composition finiancing and abnormal stock returns. Manuscript profile -

In these systems, data access patterns of users and network latency may change. The system needs to meet data availability reliability. Data replication is a well-known method for improving performance parameters such as data access time, availability, load balancing, and reliability. Here, a novel dynamic algorithm is proposed that uses fuzzy inference systems to manage replication for increasing performance. The proposed algorithm uses a new comprehensive set of decision parameters and fuzzy logic in each phase to reduce the inefficiency caused by wrong decisions in different phases in a practical Grid. The algorithm uses two fuzzy interfere systems to select an appropriate place for new replication and a less valuable file for deleting when storage space is full. It places the new replica in a suitable site where the file could possibly be needed soon with high probability. It also prevents deleting valuable files using a fuzzy valuation function. The algorithm was simulated by the OptorSim simulator. The results demonstrated that the algorithm is more effective than other replication methods in terms of the number of created replications, the percentage of storage used, and the job execution time.
