A Simulation Method of Cognitive Maps
نویسنده
چکیده
Cognitive maps are widely used for representing decision makers' mental maps and their strategies. However, the cognitive map analysis is usually constrained into the static analyis and has difficulty in exploring dynamic nature of decision makers' mental map. In this paper, a simulation method of cognitve map in the discipline of system dynamics is developed and discussed. In this paper, the concept of abstract simulation is proposed to allow simulation of cognitive maps to see their dynamic behavior without distorting them too much. As a way of abstract simulation, NUMBER is introduced in this paper. NUMBER is an abbreviation for 'Normal Unit Modeling By Elementary Relationships'. In this paper, NUMBER is applied to a cognitive map of policy maker to show its usefulness.

A new control strategy for energy management in Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles based on Fuzzy Cognitive Maps
In this paper, a new control strategy for energy management in Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) using Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) is presented. In this strategy, FCM is used as a supervisory control such that the State of Charge (SoC) of the battery is kept in the acceptable range and fuel consumption per kilometer is reduced, in addition to providing the request power. Since this method ...
