Generating decision support for alarm processing in cold supply chains using a hybrid k-NN algorithm

作者:

Highlights:

• The problem of decision support generation for alarm processing is addressed.

• A hybrid algorithm is proposed based on k-NN, decision trees, and nearest neighbor.

• A way of representing chronological shipment location is proposed in a fuzzy set.

• 16,525 temperature alarms with associated contextual data are used in tests.

• The proposed algorithm consistently outperforms k-NN in our evaluations.
