The field of performance measurement with fuzzy and imprecise data is continuing to grow. Linear programming in general and Data Envelopment Analysis in particular have always played a vital role in measuring efficiency and productivity of Decision Making Units. Today, the observed values of the input and output data in many real-world problems are imprecise or vague. Soft computing techniques including fuzzy sets have shown tremendous potential in dealing with imprecise, vague and uncertain data.

We have taken the initiative to edit the book on “Performance Measurement with Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis“. This book aims at providing a collection of recent and state-of-the-art contributions on this emerging topic, and will be published in the international series of “Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing” (Springer-Verlag).

We wish to invite you to contribute to this edited book. We hope that you will be able to accept our invitation. At this stage, we invite you to submit [by March 31, 2012] a 1-2 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the goals and objectives of your proposed chapter.

Selection process and timeline

Since timeliness is crucial to the success of this editorial project, we would assume the following schedule:

Chapter proposals April 30, 2012
Decisions from editors May 31, 2012
Full submission of chapters September 30, 2012
Feedback of reviews November 30, 2012
Revised chapter submission January 31, 2013
Final acceptance notifications February 28, 2013

 

For further details please see: http://deazone.com/en/fuzzy-dea-book 

A call for proposals is available at http://deazone.com/fuzzy-dea-book/chapter-proposal.pdf  if you wish to share it with colleagues.

We have the pleasure to announce the 4th Halle Workshop on Efficiency and Productivity Analysis (HAWEPA) on ” Issues in dynamic efficiency analysis ” to be held on July 16-17, 2012 in Halle (Saale), Germany. The workshop is organised by IAMO (Liebniz-Institute of Agricultural Development in Central Europe) and IWH (Halle Institute for Economic Research). The keynote address will be provided by Spirou Stefanou (Pennsylvania State University) on dynamic efficiency measurement and its application in applied research.

We would be very happy if you would consider submitting an extended abstract to the workshop. The program provides possibilities for contributed papers and posters. Deadline for abstract submission is May 10, 2012.

Contributions dealing with theoretical developments and empirical application from economics, agricultural economics, management science, operations research and related fields are welcome. Please have a look at the attached Call for Abstracts for more details. Website : http://www.iamo.de/nc/iamo/veranstaltungen/workshops/hawepa-2012/objective.html

 

Please, do not hesitate to disseminate this information further to anyone potentially interested.
