 Chapter 1. Introduction  
    Time 
    1. Over the course of the past 30 years, .. has emerged form intuitive 
    2. Technological revolutions have recently hit the industrial world 
    3. The advent of ... systems for has had a significant impact on the 
    4. The development of ... is explored 
    5. During the past decade, the theory of fuzzy sets has developed in a variety of directions 
    6.The concept of xx was investigated quite intensively in recent years 
    7. There has been a turning point in ... methodology in accordance with the advent of ... 
    8. A major concern in ... today is to continue to improve... 
    9. A xx is a latecomer in the part representation arena. 
    10. At the time of this writing, there is still no standard way of xx 
    11. Although a lot of effort is being spent on improving these weaknesses, the efficient and effective method has yet to be developed. 
    12. The pioneer work can be traced to xx [1965]. 
    13. To date, none of the methods developed is perfect and all are far from ready to be used in commercial systems. 
 
    Objective / Goal / Purpose  
    1. The purpose of the inference engine can be outlined as follows: 
    2. The ultimate goal of the xx system is to allow the non experts to utilize the existing knowledge in the area of manual handling of loads, and to provide intelligent, computer aided instruction for xxx. 
    3. The paper concerns the development of a xx 
    4. The scope of this research lies in 
    5. The main theme of the paper is the application of rule based decision making. 
    6. These objectives are to be met with such thoroughness and confidence as to permit ... 
    7. The objectives of the ... operations study are as follows: 
    8. The primary purpose/consideration/objective of 
    9. The ultimate goal of this concept is to provide 
    10. The main objective of such a ... system is to 
    11. The aim of this paper is to provide methods to construct such probability distribution. 
    12. In order to achieve these objectives, an xx must meet the following requirements: 
    13. In order to take advantage of their similarity 
    14. more research is still required before final goal of ... can be completed 
    15. In this trial, the objective is to generate... 
    16. for the sake of concentrating on ... research issues 
    17. A major goal of this report is to extend the utilization of a recently developed procedure for the xx. 
    18. For an illustrative purpose, four well known OR problems are studied in presence of fuzzy data: xx. 
    19. A major thrust of the paper is to discuss approaches and strategies for structuring ..methods 
    20. This illustration points out the need to specify 
    21. The ultimate goal is both descriptive and prescriptive. 
    22. Chapter 2. Literature Review 
    23. A wealth of information is to be found in the statistics literature, for example, regarding xx 
    24. A considerable amount of research has been done .. during the last decade 
    25. A great number of studies report on the treatment of uncertainties associated with xx. 
    26. There is considerable amount of literature on planning 
    27. However, these studies do not provide much attention to uncertainty in xx. 
    28. Since then, the subject has been extensively explored and it is still under investigation as well in 
    methodological aspects as in concrete applications. 
    29. Many research studies have been carried out on this topic. 
    30. Problem of xx draws recently more and more attention of system analysis. 
    31. Attempts to resolve this dilemma have resulted in the development of 
    32. Many complex processes unfortunately, do not yield to this design procedure and have, therefore, not yet been automated. 
    33. Most of the methods developed so far are deterministic and /or probabilistic in nature. 
    34. The central issue in all these studies is to 
    35. The problem of xx has been studied by other investigators, however, these studies have been based upon classical statistical approaches. 
    36. Applied ... techniques to

    62. Though application of xx in the filed of xx has proliferated in recent years, effort in analyzing xx, especially xx, is lacking. 
    Problem / Issue / Question 
    63. Unfortunately, real-world engineering problems such as manufacturing planning do not fit well with this narrowly defined model. They tend to span broad activities and require consideration of multiple aspects.
