Rule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps: Fuzzy Causal Relations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (RBFCM) are proposed as an evolution of Fuzzy Causal Maps (FCM) that allow a more complete representation of cognition, since relations other than monotonic causality are made possible. Their structure is based on traditional fuzzy systems with feedback. The main problem to solve while trying to implement a RBFCM is the causal relation itself, since traditional fuzzy operations can not implement causality as it is usually defined in causal maps. This paper introduces Rule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and presents a method to implement Fuzzy Causal Relations. This method allows a great flexibility in the addition and removal of concepts and links among concepts, and introduces a new Fuzzy Operation that simulates the “accumulative” property of causal relations – the Fuzzy Carry Accumulation (FCA).

Rule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps – A Comparative Study
This paper focus on the comparison between Rule Based Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. The paper shows FCM limitations to represent nonmonotonic non-symmetric causal relations, presents results that exhibit the stability of RBFCM in systems where FCM is not stable due to its non-fuzzy inherent nature and presents RBFCM potential to model qualitative real-world dynamic systems.

This work proposes a framework for the design and development of Ontology Agents oriented to manage Rule Base Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (RBFCM). The approach takes into account the foundations of the Ontology Agents and the baseline of the Fuzzy Cognitive Maps depicted by Rule Bases. With these underlying elements, a specification of a conceptualization about the modeled domain is outcome. Moreover,...
