Experiments are performed on an underlying example, and computational results are reported to support the efficacy of the proposed model.
For example, experimental and computational studies have explored STR in networks, exploring the effects of network interactions, coupling, and different sources of heterogeneity.
Scientists are becoming increasingly dependent upon resources available through the Internet including, for example, datasets and computational modelling services, which are changing the way they conduct their research activities.
For example, experimental and computational methods have been developed for dealing with systematic variation between laboratories [ 12, 17- 19].
For example, metabolomic and computational analyses of fruitfly flight muscles under 0.5% oxygen levels showed that conversion of pyruvate from lactate to alanine and acetate could convey hypoxia tolerance by improving ATP-producing efficiency per glucose [ 33].
Simple representations such as that shown in Fig. 3 hide a significant amount of detail; for example, experimental and computational methods commonly used to establish network architecture usually fail to determine whether TFs bind to DNA as monomers, dimers, or as part of higher order structures.
Few examples of statistical and computational intelligence tools for data reduction in SoS include the PCA, clustering, fuzzy-logic, neuro-computing, and evolutionary computing, such as genetic algorithms, and Bayesian networks.
Other examples and the respective computational results are analyzed in "Computational experiments", and, finally, "Conclusion" provides the conclusions and suggestions for further research.
Some numerical examples and a thorough computational experiment show that the approach followed here provides sound results for ranking alternatives and outperforms other known methods in discriminating the alternatives, therefore encouraging its use as a valuable decision tool for managers and policy makers.
