Full textAbstract:
A neutrosophic set is a part of neutrosophy that studies the origin, nature, and scope of neutralities, as well as their interactions with different ideational spectra. The neutrosophic set is a powerful general formal framework that has been recently proposed. However, the neutrosophic set needs to be specified from a technical point of view. Here, we define the set-theoretic operators on an instance of a neutrosophic set, and call it an Interval Neutrosophic Set (INS). We prove various properties of INS, which are connected to operations and relations over INS. We also introduce a new logic system based on interval neutrosophic sets. We study the interval neutrosophic propositional calculus and interval neutrosophic predicate calculus. We also create a neutrosophic logic inference system based on interval neutrosophic logic. Under the framework of the interval neutrosophic set, we propose a data model based on the special case of the interval neutrosophic sets called Neutrosophic Data Model. This data model is the extension of fuzzy data model and paraconsistent data model. We generalize the set-theoretic operators and relation-theoretic operators of fuzzy relations and paraconsistent relations to neutrosophic relations. We propose the generalized SQL query constructs and tuple-relational calculus for Neutrosophic Data Model. We also design an architecture of Semantic Web Services agent based on the interval neutrosophic logic and do the simulation study.

Polkinghorne, Martyn Neal. "A self-organising fuzzy logic autopilot for small vessels." Thesis, University of Plymouth, 1994. http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/1100.
Full textAbstract:
Currently small vessels use autopilots based on the Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative (PID) algorithm which utilises fixed gain values. This type of autopilot is known to often cause performance difficulties, a survey is therefore carried out to identify the alternative autopilot methods that have been previously investigated. It is shown that to date, all published work in this area has been based on large ships, however, there are specific difficulties applicable to the small vessel which have therefore not been considered. After the recognition of artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic as being the two most suitable techniques for use in the development of a new, and adaptive, small vessel autopilot design, the basic concepts of both are reviewed and fiizzy logic identified as being the most suitable for this application. The remainder of the work herein is concerned with the development of a fuzzy logic controller capable of a high level of performance in the two modes of coursekeeping and course-changing. Both modes are integrated together by the use of nonlinear fuzzy input windows. Improved performance is then obtained by using a nonlinear fuzzy rulebase. Integral action is included by converting the fuzzy output window to an unorthodox design described by two hundred and one fuzzy singletons, and then by shifting the identified fuzzy sets to positive, or negative, in order that any steady-state error may be removed from the vessel's performance. This design generated significant performance advantages when compared to the conventional PID autopilot. To develop further into an adaptive form of autopilot called the self-organising controller, the single rulebase was replaced by two enhancement matrices. These are novel features which are modified on-line by two corresponding performance indices. The magnitude of the learning was related to the observed performance of the vessel when expressed in terms of its heading error and rate of change of heading error. The autopilot design is validated using both simulation, and full scale sea trials. From these tests it is demonstrated that when compared to the conventional PID controller, the self-organising controller significantly improved performance for both course-changing and course-keeping modes of operation. In addition, it has the capability to learn on-line and therefore to maintain performance when subjected to vessel dynamic or environmental disturbance alterations.

Chou, Te-Shun. "Ensemble Fuzzy Belief Intrusion Detection Design." FIU Digital Commons, 2007. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/6.
Full textAbstract:
With the rapid growth of the Internet, computer attacks are increasing at a fast pace and can easily cause millions of dollar in damage to an organization. Detecting these attacks is an important issue of computer security. There are many types of attacks and they fall into four main categories, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, Probe, User to Root (U2R) attacks, and Remote to Local (R2L) attacks. Within these categories, DoS and Probe attacks continuously show up with greater frequency in a short period of time when they attack systems. They are different from the normal traffic data and can be easily separated from normal activities. On the contrary, U2R and R2L attacks are embedded in the data portions of the packets and normally involve only a single connection. It becomes difficult to achieve satisfactory detection accuracy for detecting these two attacks. Therefore, we focus on studying the ambiguity problem between normal activities and U2R/R2L attacks. The goal is to build a detection system that can accurately and quickly detect these two attacks. In this dissertation, we design a two-phase intrusion detection approach. In the first phase, a correlation-based feature selection algorithm is proposed to advance the speed of detection. Features with poor prediction ability for the signatures of attacks and features inter-correlated with one or more other features are considered redundant. Such features are removed and only indispensable information about the original feature space remains. In the second phase, we develop an ensemble intrusion detection system to achieve accurate detection performance. The proposed method includes multiple feature selecting intrusion detectors and a data mining intrusion detector. The former ones consist of a set of detectors, and each of them uses a fuzzy clustering technique and belief theory to solve the ambiguity problem. The latter one applies data mining technique to automatically extract computer users’ normal behavior from training network traffic data. The final decision is a combination of the outputs of feature selecting and data mining detectors. The experimental results indicate that our ensemble approach not only significantly reduces the detection time but also effectively detect U2R and R2L attacks that contain degrees of ambiguous information.

Full textAbstract:
Equipment availability is the most significant factor in the productivity of many mines and
processing plants. Machine breakdowns are not only expensive in terms of production losses
but also important in meeting production schedules. In a complex piece of machinery like a
shearer or a powered support system in a highly automated longwall face, such breakdowns
can be due to one of the large number of possible faults. A large proportion, up to 80% of
the down time is spent in locating the fault. For this reason, a need for an automated diagnostic
method to assist the operator in the diagnosis process is felt. In this study, a diagnostic
system is developed by modeling the partially known or imprecise relations and poorly defined
variables found in a diagnostic environment. Logic of fuzzy sets and systems theory
finds an interesting application in this area. This study presents a diagnostic algorithm, which
relates the possible causes of failure to their respective symptoms through fuzzy logic paths.
Applications of the diagnostic method are illustrated through examples of a compressor and
a shearer.Master of Science

Darwin, John Anthony. "Complexity theory and fuzzy logic in strategic management : searching the pattern that connects." Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 1998. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/3827/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis begins by discussing the Modern Paradigm, which, it is argued, forms the underpinning to much contemporary management thinking. This in turn is seen as having its own foundation, the Cartesian-Newtonian Synthesis. It is argued that this does not form an adequate basis for strategic management, and the thesis then draws upon four main streams of thinking: complexity theory, fuzzy logic, the debate on power in organizations, and critical theory. The material developed from these four streams is integrated, thereby developing a number of principles for strategic management. The context within which most of the case studies are set is also outlined, by reviewing the recent history and present situation in local government. We then turn to the practical implications. When teaching strategic management and change, a frequent response from managers is that they are comfortable with the rational planning approach, which they find straightforward in approach, and its tools and techniques readily usable. But when we get on to all this other stuff ... what does it mean, and how is it used? This relates also to my own experience as a manager, particularly in local government. The practical implications are important, and this whole thesis can be seen as an action research programme, with practical interventions enriching the theoretical perspective, which in turn has fed back into practice. This discussion begins by considering methodology, and identifies three interlinked methods - action research, action learning and whole systems intervention. These are related to critical theory, and it is argued that these approaches provide a practice based upon the theoretical themes developed earlier. This is followed by a discussion of action research, exploring one case study in some depth, chosen because it helps to illustrate both the strengths and the potential limitations of a critical approach to action research. The work is assessed, and its implication for contemporary management are considered, drawing also upon a current action research project concerned with the roles of trade unions in the regions of Europe. The thesis then turns to what can best be seen as an extended action research project concerned specifically with whole systems intervention. It examines the extent to which this can be developed and undertaken on the basis of the principles developed in the thesis. Five case studies are presented in which Search Conferences and/or ColourFlow Dialogue have been used. Reflecting the original remit of the thesis, these case studies have a common link in local government. Two involve local authorities directly; one concerns local government politicians and their political party, and one involves an area of local authority activity being moved into independent Trust status. The fifth has a more tenuous link with local government: it is a voluntary body which receives significant funding from Councils, but is otherwise independent; it is included because it was the first such exercise undertaken, and brought with it significant personal learning. Finally, the thesis reviews the findings, considers their implications, and draws conclusions. Thus the purpose of this thesis is both to present an approach to strategic management and organizational development which is richer than those premised on the Modern Paradigm, and to argue that this is more than a set of interesting or provocative ideas - it is an approach which can be put into practice.

Dizertační práce se zabývá návrhem integrované metody hodnocení bezpečnosti a spolehlivosti palubních leteckých systém za použití teorie grafů a fuzzy logiky. Navržená integrovaná metoda je univerzálně použitelná v oblasti hodnocení bezpečnosti a spolehlivosti, nicméně je primárně navržená pro použití v oblasti General Aviation a civilních bezpilotních prostředků. Současná podoba hodnocení spolehlivosti je téměř výhradně závislá na úsudku analytika. Použití komerčních softwarových nástrojů pro hodnocení spolehlivosti je extrémně nákladné, přičemž možnost přístupu a úpravy použitých algoritmů je minimální. Současný prudký vývoj palubních letecký systému je spojen s jejich zvyšující se komplexností a sofistikovaností. Integrovaná metoda používá teorii grafů, jako nástroj modelování funkčních závislostí mez jednotily prvky systému. Použití teorie grafu současně umožňuje daný systém analyzovat, hodnotit hustotu vzájemné funkční vazebnosti, identifikovat důsledky případných poruchových stavů. Aplikace fuzzy logiky umožňuje manipulovat s expertní znalostí a stanovit kritičnost daného prvku a systému. Kritičnost prvku zohledňuje pravděpodobnost jeho selhání, možnost detekce dané poruchy, závažnost těchto selhání vzhledem k vlivu na alokované funkce.

Ralbovský, Martin. "Fuzzy GUHA." Doctoral thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2006. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-77047.
Full textAbstract:
The GUHA method is one of the oldest methods of exploratory data analysis, which is regarded as part of the data mining or knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) scienti_c area. Unlike many other methods of data mining, the GUHA method has firm theoretical foundations in logic and statistics. In scope of the method, finding interesting knowledge corresponds to finding special formulas in satisfactory rich logical calculus, which is called observational calculus. The main topic of the thesis is application of the "fuzzy paradigm" to the GUHA method By the term "fuzzy paradigm" we mean approaches that use many-valued membership degrees or truth values, namely fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic. The thesis does not aim to cover all the aspects of this application, it emphasises mainly on: - Association rules as the most prevalent type of formulas mined by the GUHA method - Usage of fuzzy data - Logical aspects of fuzzy association rules mining - Comparison of the GUHA theory to the mainstream fuzzy association rules - Implementation of the theory using the bit string approach The thesis throughoutly elaborates the theory of fuzzy association rules, both using the theoretical apparatus of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic. Fuzzy set theory is used mainly to compare the GUHA method to existing mainstream approaches to formalize fuzzy association rules, which were studied in detail. Fuzzy logic is used to define novel class of logical calculi called logical calculi of fuzzy association rules (LCFAR) for logical representation of fuzzy association rules. The problem of existence of deduction rules in LCFAR is dealt in depth. Suitable part of the proposed theory is implemented in the Ferda system using the bit string approach. In the approach, characteristics of examined objects are represented as strings of bits, which in the crisp case enables efficient computation. In order to maintain this feature also in the fuzzy case, a profound low level testing of data structures and algoritms for fuzzy bit strings have been carried out as a part of the thesis.

In our opinion, such an approach to quality assessment can reduce the subjective component that has a significant impact on making a final decision.
The system, built on a given algorithm, allows us to assess the quality of food products, taking into account the data of laboratory studies on measurable quality indicators and expert opinions on difficult to measure indicators.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la définition d'une approche flexible pour interroger des graphes RDF à la fois classiques et flous. Cette approche, basée sur la théorie des ensembles flous, permet d'étendre SPARQL qui est le langage de requête standardisé W3C pour RDF, de manière à pouvoir exprimer i) des préférences utilisateur floues sur les données (par exemple, l'année de publication d'un album est récente) et sur la structure du graphe (par exemple, le chemin entre deux amis doit être court) et ii) des préférences utilisateur plus complexes, prenant la forme de propositions quantifiées floues (par exemple, la plupart des albums qui sont recommandés par un artiste, sont très bien notés et ont été créés par un jeune ami de cet artiste). Nous avons effectué des expérimentations afin d'étudier les performances de cette approche. L'objectif principal de ces expérimentations était de montrer que le coût supplémentaire dû à l'introduction du flou reste limité/acceptable. Nous avons également étudié, dans un cadre plus général, celui de bases de données graphe, la question de l'intégration du même type de propositions quantifiées floues dans une extension floue de Cypher qui est un langage déclaratif pour l'interrogation des bases de données graphe classiques. Les résultats expérimentaux obtenus montrent que le coût supplémentaire induit par la présence de conditions quantifiées floues dans les requêtes reste également très limité dans ce casThis thesis concerns the definition of a flexible approach for querying both crisp and fuzzy RDF graphs. This approach, based on the theory of fuzzy sets, makes it possible to extend SPARQL which is the W3C-standardised query language for RDF, so as to be able to express i) fuzzy user preferences on data (e.g., the release year of an album is recent) and on the structure of the data graph (e.g., the path between two friends is required to be short) and ii) more complex user preferences, namely, fuzzy quantified statements (e.g., most of the albums that are recommended by an artist, are highly rated and have been created by a young friend of this artist). We performed some experiments in order to study the performances of this approach. The main objective of these experiments was to show that the extra cost due to the introduction of fuzziness remains limited/acceptable. We also investigated, in a more general framework, namely graph databases, the issue of integrating the same type of fuzzy quantified statements in a fuzzy extension of Cypher which is a declarative language for querying (crisp) graph databases. Some experimental results are reported and show that the extra cost induced by the fuzzy quantified nature of the queries also remains very limited

Full textAbstract:
To be successful in today's competitive market, service providers should look at user's satisfaction as a critical key. In order to gain a better understanding of customers' expectations, a proper evaluations which considers intrinsic characteristics of perceived quality of service is needed. Due to the subjective nature of quality, the vagueness of human judgment and the uncertainty about the degree of users' linguistic satisfaction, fuzziness is associated with quality of experience. Considering the capability of Fuzzy logic in dealing with imprecision and qualitative knowledge, it would be wise to apply it as a powerful mathematical tool for analyzing the quality of experience (QoE). This thesis proposes a fuzzy procedure to evaluate the quality of experience. In our proposed methodology, we provide a fuzzy relationship between QoE and Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. To identify this fuzzy relationship a new term called Fuzzi ed Opinion Score (FOS) representing a fuzzy quality scale is introduced. A fuzzy data mining method is applied to construct the required number of fuzzy sets. Then, the appropriate membership functions describing fuzzy sets are modeled and compared with each other. The proposed methodology will assist service providers for better decision-making and resource management.

Full textAbstract:
In an era where use and dependence of information systems is significantly high, the threat of incidents related to information security that could jeopardize the information held by organizations is more and more serious. Alarming facts within the literature point to inadequacies in information security practices, particularly the evaluation of information security controls in organizations. Research efforts have resulted in various methodologies developed to deal with the information security controls assessment problem. A closer look at these traditional methodologies highlights various weaknesses that can prevent an effective information security controls assessment in organizations. This dissertation develops a methodology that addresses such weaknesses when evaluating information security controls in organizations. The methodology, created using the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox of MATLAB based on fuzzy theory and fuzzy logic, uses fuzzy set theory which allows for a more accurate assessment of imprecise criteria than traditional methodologies. It is argued and evidenced that evaluating information security controls using fuzzy set theory addresses existing weaknesses found in the literature for traditional evaluation methodologies and, thus, leads to a more thorough and precise assessment. This, in turn, results in a more effective selection of information security controls and enhanced information security in organizations.
The main contribution of this research to the information security literature is the development of a fuzzy set theory-based assessment methodology that provides for a thorough evaluation of ISC in organizations. The methodology just created addresses the weaknesses or limitations identified in existing information security control assessment methodologies, resulting in an enhanced information security in organizations.
The methodology can also be implemented in a spreadsheet or software tool, and promote usage in practical scenarios where highly complex methodologies for ISC selection are impractical. Moreover, the methodology fuses multiple evaluation criteria to provide a holistic view of the overall quality of information security controls, and it is easily extended to include additional evaluation criteria factor not considered within this dissertation. This is one of the most meaningful contributions from this dissertation. Finally, the methodology provides a mechanism to evaluate the quality of information security controls in various domains. Overall, the methodology presented in this dissertation proved to be a feasible technique for evaluating information security controls in organizations.

Shekarriz, Mona. "The foundation of capability modelling : a study of the impact and utilisation of human resources." Thesis, Brunel University, 2011. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/5257.
Full textAbstract:
This research aims at finding a foundation for assessment of capabilities and applying the concept in a human resource selection. The research identifies a common ground for assessing individuals’ applied capability in a given job based on literature review of various disciplines in engineering, human sciences and economics. A set of criteria is found to be common and appropriate to be used as the basis of this assessment. Applied Capability is then described in this research as the impact of the person in fulfilling job requirements and also their level of usage from their resources with regards to the identified criteria. In other words how their available resources (abilities, skills, value sets, personal attributes and previous performance records) can be used in completing a job. Translation of the person’s resources and task requirements using the proposed criteria is done through a novel algorithm and two prevalent statistical inference techniques (OLS regression and Fuzzy) are used to estimate quantitative levels of impact and utilisation. A survey on post graduate students is conducted to estimate their applied capabilities in a given job. Moreover, expert academics are surveyed on their views on key applied capability assessment criteria, and how different levels of match between job requirement and person’s resources in those criteria might affect the impact levels. The results from both surveys were mathematically modelled and the predictive ability of the conceptual and mathematical developments were compared and further contrasted with the observed data. The models were tested for robustness using experimental data and the results for both estimation methods in both surveys are close to one another with the regression models being closer to observations. It is believed that this research has provided sound conceptual and mathematical platforms which can satisfactorily predict individuals’ applied capability in a given job. This research has contributed to the current knowledge and practice by a) providing a comparison of capability definitions and uses in different disciplines, b) defining criteria for applied capability assessment, c) developing an algorithm to capture applied capabilities, d) quantification of an existing parallel model and finally e) estimating impact and utilisation indices using mathematical methods.

In an attempt to facilitate the diagnosis of the various factors that affect water quality and predict possible future impacts on the environment, actions to rationalize the use of water from the optimization of natural and technological processes are adopted. Mathematical modeling is one example and, together with Fuzzy Theory, which allows the analysis of the results without the need for significant databases, one can establish the risk as an indicator of contamination of rivers, and of practical value in decision making and allocation of grant releases. In this study, the full Streeter-Phelps equations, using the Fuzzy set Theory, was applied, in order to analyze the risk of contamination of a watercourse that receives multiple sources release pollutants. Through the model simulations, different scenarios were analyzed, and the influence of its parameters as well as the launch point and nonpoint pollution sources, in the calculation of the risk. According to the results, it was observed that the amount of discharge released influences the time of the mass dilution in the system, so that for higher values of launch, the dilution time is less favoring the formation and decay processes of benthic layer; regarding the physical, chemical and biological reactions, it appears that sedimentation processes, photosynthesis and respiration, concerning with the average data found in literature, have little influence on the behavior of the curves of DO concentration curves and risk, while the nitrification process has a strong influence; with respect to the temperature, the results showed that it plays a significant role in the behavior of DO, where, for larger values of it, the higher the DO deficit and, consequently, increase in the risk. Finally, the model developed as a proposal to facilitate the decision making in the control of discharge of effluents into rivers proved to be a viable and practical analytical alternative way, since the goals were achieved.

This thesis focus on consistency of a specific class of fuzzy logic theories that represent certain inference system. This class of theories is defined as theories containing especially so called special axioms representing rules of modeled inference system and evaluated set of formulas representing case data. Functional approach is used to develop three popular fuzzy calculi: the Gödel logic, Łukasiewicz logic and product logic. As a language it is used the language of first order propositional fuzzy logic with valuation. To check consistency we use the concept of inconsistency degree and in Łukasiewicz logic also the principle of polar index. The concept of consistency degree is also described, but not used. Simple algorithm is developed to check consistency of theory upon the basis of inconsistency degree principle. A method of use of polar index is also described and illustrated. For each fuzzy theory a term of corresponding classical theory is defined. Then consistency of fuzzy theories and their corresponding classical theories are compared. The results of comparison are presented on the example of the ad-hoc created diagnostic inference system MEDSYS II. In the end the relation between consistency of fuzzy theory of inference system and it's corresponding theory is introduced for all three used calculi and both contradiction concepts.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation introduces advanced artificial intelligence based algorithm for detecting and classifying faults on the power system transmission line. The proposed algorithm is aimed at substituting classical relays susceptible to possible performance deterioration during variable power system operating and fault conditions. The new concept relies on a principle of pattern recognition and detects the existence of the fault, identifies fault type, and estimates the transmission line faulted section. The approach utilizes self-organized, Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) neural network, combined with fuzzy decision rule for interpretation of neural network outputs. Neural network learns the mapping between inputs and desired outputs through processing a set of example cases. Training of the neural network is based on the combined use of unsupervised and supervised learning methods. During training, a set of input events is transformed into a set of prototypes of typical input events. During application, real events are classified based on the interpretation of their matching to the prototypes through fuzzy decision rule. This study introduces several enhancements to the original version of the ART algorithm: suitable preprocessing of neural network inputs, improvement in the concept of supervised learning, fuzzyfication of neural network outputs, and utilization of on-line learning. A selected model of an actual power network is used to simulate extensive sets of scenarios covering a variety of power system operating conditions as well as fault and disturbance events. Simulation results show improved recognition capabilities compared to a previous version of ART neural network algorithm, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network algorithm, and impedance based distance relay. Simulation results also show exceptional robustness of the novel ART algorithm for all operating conditions and events studied, as well as superior classification capabilities compared to the other solutions. Consequently, it is demonstrated that the proposed ART solution may be used for accurate, high-speed distinction among faulted and unfaulted events, and estimation of fault type and fault section.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to propose a decision support tool for contractors before the bidding stage to quantify the probability of schedule delay in construction projects by using fuzzy logic incorporated with relative importance index (RII) method. Eighty three (83) different schedule delay factors were identified through detailed literature review and interview with experts from a leading Turkish construction company, then categorized into nine (9) groups and visualized by utilizing Ishikawa (Fish Bone) Diagrams. The relative importances of schedule delay factors were quantified by relative importance index (RII) method and the ranking of the factors and groups were demonstrated according to their importance level on schedule delay. A schedule delay assessment model was proposed by using Fuzzy Theory in order to determine a realistic time contingency by taking into account of delay factors characterized in construction projects. The assessment model was developed by using Fuzzy Logic Toolbox of the MATLAB Program Software. Proposed methodology was tested in a real case study and probability of schedule delay was evaluated by the assessment model after the required inputs were inserted to software. According to the case study results, the most contributing factors and groups (that need attention) to the probability of schedule delays were discussed. The assessment model results were found to be conceivably acceptable and adequate for the purpose of this thesis.

Resumo: A teoria de grafos é comumente utilizada na área da engenharia para resolver problemas que podem ser representados na forma de redes. Dentre diversos problemas abordados, o problema de transporte multimodal é um dos que podem ser modelados por grafos. Este trabalho apresenta três algoritmos para redes de transporte multimodal aplicados ao tráfego urbano. O primeiro algoritmo é de carregamento incremental de fluxo e aborda incertezas nos custos e nas capacidades dos arcos utilizando a teoria dos conjuntos fuzzy. Neste caso, o problema foi modelado através de subgrafos, onde cada modo de transporte considerado é representado por um subgrafo e o grafo total é a união de todos os subgrafos. O segundo é um algoritmo de caminho mínimo para grafos coloridos com custos crisp e é baseado no algoritmo clássico de caminho mínimo de Ford-Moore-Bellman. O terceiro algoritmo é de carregamento incremental de fluxo e utiliza o segundo algoritmo para encontrar os caminhos mínimos multimodais. Neste caso os custos e capacidades são crisp e assim como no primeiro algoritmo, os custos dependem do fluxo. A modelagem com relação ao segundo e ao terceiro algoritmo, foi feita utilizando grafos coloridos, onde cada modo de transporte é representado por uma cor
Abstract: The graph theory is commonly used in the area of engineering to solve problems that can be represented in the form of networks. Among several problems, the multimodal transport problem is one that can be modeled by graphs. This work presents three algorithms for multimodal transport networks applied to urban traffic. The first algorithm is of incremental loading flow and deals uncertainties in costs and in capacities of arcs using the fuzzy sets theory. In this case the problem was modeled by subgraphs, where each mode of transport considered is represented by a subgraph and the total graph is the union of all subgraphs. The second, is an algorithm of shortest path for colored graphs with crisp costs and is based in the classical shortest path algorithm of Ford-Moore-Bellman. The third algorithm is of incremental loading flow and uses the second algorithm to find the multimodal shortest paths. In this case the costs and the capacities are crisp and thus in the first algorithm, the costs depend on the flow. The modeling with respect to the second and third algorithm was done using colored graphs, where each transport mode is represented by a color

Full textAbstract:
CNPqEste trabalho apresenta uma abordagem para a definição automática de bases de regras em Classificadores Fuzzy Probabilísticos (CFPs), um caso particular dos Sistemas Fuzzy Probabilísticos. Como parte integrante deste processo, são utilizados métodos de redução de dimensionalidade como: análise de componentes principais e discriminante de Fisher. Os algoritmos de agrupamento testados para particionar o universo das variáveis de entrada do sistema são Gustafson-Kessel, Supervised Fuzzy Clustering ambos já consolidados na literatura. Adicionalmente, propõe-se um novo algoritmo de agrupamento denominado Gustafson-Kessel com Ponto Focal como parte integrante do projeto automático de CFPs. A capacidade deste novo algoritmo em identificar clusters elipsoidais e não elipsoidais também é avaliada neste trabalho. Em dados altamente correlacionados ou totalmente correlacionados ocorrem problemas na inversão da matriz de covariância fuzzy. Desta forma, um método de regularização é necessário para esta matriz e um novo método está sendo proposto neste trabalho.Nos CFPs considerados, a combinação de antecedentes e consequentes fornece uma base de regras na qual todos os consequentes são possíveis em uma regra, cada um associado a uma medida de probabilidade. Neste trabalho, esta medida de probabilidade é calculada com base no Teorema de Bayes que, a partir de uma função de verossimilhança, atualiza a informação a priori de cada consequente em cada regra. A principal inovação é o cálculo da função de verossimilhança que se baseia no conceito de “região Ideal” de forma a melhor identificar as probabilidades associadas aos consequentes da regra. Os CFPs propostos são comparados com classificadores fuzzy-bayesianos e outros tradicionais na área de aprendizado de máquina considerando conjuntos de dados gerados artificialmente, 30 benchmarks e também dados extraídos diretamente de problemas reais como detecção de falhas em rolamentos de máquinas industriais. Os resultados dos experimentos mostram que os classificadores fuzzy propostos superam, em termos de acurácia, os classificadores fuzzy-bayesianos considerados e alcançam resultados competitivos com classificadores não-fuzzy tradicionais usados na comparação. Os resultados também mostram que o método de regularização proposto é uma alternativa para a técnica de agrupamento Gustafson-Kessel (com ou sem ponto focal) quando se consideram dados com alta correção linear.
This work presents a new approach for the automatic design of Probabilistic Fuzzy Classifiers (PFCs), which are a special case of Probabilistic Fuzzy Systems. As part of the design process we consider methods for reducing the dimensionality like the principal component analysis and the Fisher discriminant. The clustering methods tested for partitioning the universe of input variables are Gustafson-Kessel and Supervised Fuzzy Clustering, both consolidated in the literature. In addition, we propose a new clustering method called Gustafson-Kessel with Focal Point as part of the automatic design of PFCs. We also tested the capacity of this method to deal with ellipsoidal and non-ellipsoidal clusters. Highly correlated data represent a challenge to fuzzy clustering due to the inversion of the fuzzy covariance matrix. Therefore, a regularization method is necessary for this matrix and a new one is proposed in this work. In the proposed PFCs, the combination of antecedents and consequents provides a rule base in which all consequents are possible, each one associated with a probability measure. In this work, the probability is calculated based on the Bayes Theorem by updating, through the likelihood function, a priori information concerning every consequent in each rule. The main innovation is the calculus of the likelihood functions which is based on the “ideal region” concept, aiming to improve the estimation of the probabilities associated with rules’ consequents. The proposed PFCs are compared with fuzzy-bayesian classifiers and other ones traditional in machine learning over artificial generated data, 30 different benchmarks and also on data directly extracted from real world like the problem of detecting bearings fault in industrial machines. Experiments results show that the proposed PFCs outperform, in terms of accuracy, the fuzzy-bayesian approaches and are competitive with the traditional non-fuzzy classifiers used in the comparison. The results also show that the proposed regularization method is an alternative to the Gustafson-Kessel clustering technique (with or without focal point) when using linearly correlated data.

Atualmente, as instituições de ensino, em sua grande maioria, estão disponibilizando cursos na modalidade de ensino a distância com o intuito de possibilitar aos indivíduos que não podem frequentar as aulas regularmente a realização de estudos a distância. Em muitos casos, os indivíduos desistem dessa modalidade de ensino sem concluir os estudos, isso se deve a vários fatores, sendo um deles, a dificuldade no entendimento do conteúdo disponibilizado durante as aulas devido a forma com que o mesmo é apresentado. Esta dissertação apresenta a utilização da lógica nebulosa em um classificador computacional, que tem por objetivo classificar indivíduos por aspectos cognitivos que estão relacionados com a Teoria das Inteligências Múltiplas propostas, originalmente, por Howard Gardner. O resultado dessa classificação possibilita direcionar os indivíduos para ambientes de ensino em que o conteúdo esteja adequado ao seu perfil cognitivo. Os testes foram realizados utilizando uma ferramenta acadêmica de mineração de dados que possibilitou determinar padrões cognitivos em cada indivíduo pela inserção de dados de entrada obtidos por meio da aplicação de um questionário e retornando os aspectos cognitivos mais aflorados de cada indivíduo. Após validados, os resultados mostraram aproximadamente 67% das classificações condizentes com os aspectos cognitivos identificados em aula.
Most educational institutions are offering distance-learning courses, in order to enable individuals who cannot attend classes regularly, to conduct their studies. In many cases, individuals drop out of this mode of teaching without completing their studies. One of the factors for that being the difficulty in understanding the content due to the way content is presented. This dissertation presents the use of fuzzy logic in a computational classifier that aims to classify individuals by cognitive aspects related to Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. The outcome of such a classifier makes it possible to direct individuals to learning environments in which the content is presented according to his/her main cognitive profile. The tests were performed using a data mining academic tool that allowed determining cognitive patterns for each individual by inputting data obtained from a questionnaire and returning the cognitive aspect most outlined in each individual. After validated, about 67% of the classification outcomes were considered in accordance to the cognitive aspects identified in classroom observations.

Resumo: O sucesso da recomposição de sistemas interligados está diretamente associado à qualidade dos planos de recomposição. Esses planos descrevem as seqüências de ações de controle que devem ser tomadas para energizar as diferentes áreas geoelétricas do sistema após a ocorrência de blecautes totais ou parciais. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é propor uma metodologia para avaliação da qualidade de planos de recomposição, que permita o uso de ferramentas computacionais para avaliar a qualidade de forma automática e sob alguns critérios como (a) grau de flexibilidade quanto a imprevistos durante a execução, (b) índices de qualidade globais determinados a partir da representação do plano de recomposição através de grafos conexos e (c) facilidade de acesso, visualização, atualização e treinamento. Diferentes técnicas e métodos foram empregados para atingir esse objetivo (busca de caminho mínimo, utilização de índices nebulosos, métodos de caminho crítico - CPM/PERT), visando a determinação dos índices numéricos relacionados à qualidade do plano, tais como: duração total prevista para a recomposição, eficiência da fase fluente, evolução da carga interrompida e custos estimados para a interrupção
Abstract: A successful restoration depends on the quality of the restoration plans, that describe the sequence of control actions that must be executed to reenergize different areas (of the power system) just after total or partial blackouts. This work proposes a methodology to automatically evalute the quality of power system restoration plans, related to (a) the flexibility of the plan, (b) numerical quality indexes, extracted using a graph representation for the plan and (c) the easiness of use, visualization, training and access to restoration instructions. Different techniques and methods were used to achieve this goal (minimum path search, adoption of fuzzy indexes, critical path methods), focusing on the determination of numerical indexes that express the quality of the plan, such as total restoration duration, fluent phase efficiency, interrupted load evolution and estimated interruption costs

Dans une première étape, nous présentons quelques éléments de base de la logique floue en insistant sur les trois phases essentielles du fonctionnement d'un contrôleur flou : la fuzzification, le mécanisme de décision et la défuzzification. Par la suite, nous détaillons la structure analytique du contrôleur flou proposée par H. Ying et al. (1990). Nous traitons notamment de l'influence du choix de la méthode d'implication, de l'opérateur et du nombre de sous-ensembles flous pour chacune des entrées et pour la sortie du contrôleur flou. Tous les contrôleurs flous étudiés présentent des structures analytiques différentes selon la zone ou se trouvent l'erreur et la variation de l'erreur. Aussi, nous présentons une méthode de simplification qui conduit à une seule expression analytique fonction de l'erreur et de la variation de l'erreur. Enfin, dans la dernière partie, nous proposons une nouvelle structure analytique du contrôleur flou décrite par une unique équation dépendante de trois paramètres pour lesquels nous expliquons le réglage et montrons ses performances en régulation

Full textAbstract:
Concept Maps (CMs) are considered a well-known pedagogy technique in creating curriculum, educating, teaching, and learning. Determining comprehension of concepts result from comparisons of candidate CMs against a master CM, and evaluate "goodness". Past techniques for comparing CMs have revolved around the creation of a subjective rubric. We propose a novel CM scoring scheme called MAnanA based on a Fuzzy Similarity Scaling (FSS) score to vastly remove the subjectivity of the rubrics in the process of grading a CM. We evaluate our framework against a predefined rubric and test it with CM data collected from the Introduction to Computer Security course at the University of New Orleans (UNO), and found that the scores obtained via MAnanA captured the trend that we observed from the rubric via peak matching. Based on our evaluation, we believe that our framework can be used to objectify CM analysis.

Full textAbstract:
ANPEste trabalho propõe o uso de Mapas Cognitivos Fuzzy Dinâmicos (DFCM, do inglês Dynamic Fuzzy Cognitive Maps), uma evolução dos Mapas Cognitivos Fuzzy (FCM), para o desenvolvimento de sistemas autônomos para tomada de decisões. O FCM representa o conhecimento de forma simbólica, através de conceitos e relações causais dispostas em um grafo. Na sua versão clássica, os FCMs são usados no desenvolvimento de modelos estáticos, sendo inapropriados para o desenvolvimento de modelos temporais ou dinâmicos devido à ocorrência simultânea de todas as causalidades em uma estrutura fixa dos grafos, i.e., os conceitos e suas relações causais são invariantes no tempo. O DFCM utiliza o mesmo formalismo matemático do FCM através de grafos, acrescentando funcionalidades, como por exemplo, a capacidade de auto adaptação através de algoritmos de aprendizagem de máquina e a possibilidade de inclusão de novos tipos de conceitos e relações causais ao modelo FCM clássico. A partir dessas inclusões, é possível construir modelos DFCM para tomada de decisões dinâmicas, as quais são necessárias no desenvolvimento de ferramentas inteligentes em áreas de conhecimento correlatas à engenharia, de modo especifico a construção de modelos aplicados em Robótica Autônoma. Em especial, para as áreas de Robótica de Enxame e Vida artificial, como abordados nesta pesquisa. O sistema autônomo desenvolvido neste trabalho aborda problemas com diferentes objetivos (como desviar de obstáculos, coletar alvos ou alimentos, explorar o ambiente), hierarquizando as ações necessárias para atingi-los, através do uso de uma arquitetura para o planejamento, inspirada no modelo clássico de Subsunção de Brooks, e uma máquina de estados para o gerenciamento das ações. Conceitos de aprendizagem de máquina, em especial Aprendizagem por Reforço, são empregadas no DFCM para a adaptação dinâmica das relações de casualidade, possibilitando o controlador a lidar com eventos não modelados a priori. A validação do controlador DFCM proposto é realizada por meio de experimentos simulados através de aplicações nas áreas supracitadas.
This dissertation proposes the use of Dynamic Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (DFCM), an evolution of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM), for the development of autonomous system to decision-taking. The FCM represents knowledge in a symbolic way, through concepts and causal relationships disposed in a graph. In its standard form, the FCMs are limited to the development of static models, in other words, classical FCMs are inappropriate for development of temporal or dynamic models due to the simultaneous occurrence of all causalities in a permanent structure, i.e., the concepts and the causal relationships are time-invariant. The DFCM uses the same mathematical formalism of the FCM, adding features to its predecessor, such as self-adaptation by means of machine learning algorithms and the possibility of inclusion of new types of concepts and causal relationships into the classical FCM model. From these inclusions, it is possible to develop DFCM models for dynamic decision-making problems, which are needed to the development of intelligent tools in engineering and other correlated areas, specifically, the construction of autonomous systems applied in Autonomous Robotic. In particular, to the areas of Swarm Robotics and Artificial Life, as approached in this research. The developed autonomous system deals with multi-objective problems (such as deviate from obstacle, collect target or feed, explore the environment), hierarchizing the actions needed to reach them, through the use of an architecture for planning, inspired by the Brook’s classical Subsumption model, and a state machine for the management of the actions. Learning machine algorithms, in particular Reinforcement Learning, are implemented in the DFCM to dynamically tune the causalities, enabling the controller to handle not modelled event a priori. The proposed DFCM model is validated by means of simulated experiments applied in the aforementioned areas.

Computer games are considered as powerful tools to learning and they have a potential for educational use. However, the lack of available comprehensive design paradigms and well-designed research studies about the question of &ldquohow to&rdquo
incorporate games into learning environments is still a question, despite more than 30 years&rsquo
existence of computer games and simulations in the instructional design movement. Setting off from these issues, a formative research study is designed to propose an instructional design/development model, which may be used for creation of game-like learning environments. Eighteen undergraduate students from Computer Education and Instructional Technology Department in METU participated to the study. Data collection lasted for three months and data were collected through interviews, observations and the artifacts that the participants produced. After the data analysis, it was found that the phases of the instructional design/development process should not be separate, strictly bounded, and processing a linear manner. Depending on these results and with the inspiration from fuzzy logic, an instructional design/development model for creating game-like environments, which is called as &ldquo
FID<

GE model&rdquo
is proposed.
