In the previous years some authors have been elaborating on the measurementtheoretic foundations of fuzzy set theory. A well-known problem in this approach is the difficult applicability of the deterministically formulated axioms on data obtained from an expert (or social science data in general). In this paper a statistical method is proposed which can be used for the testing of measurement ax...

Our observation that the chiral diffeomorphisms allow an interpretation as modular groups of local operator algebras in the sense of Tomita and Takesaki allows us to conclude that the higher dimensional generalizations are certain infinite dimensional groups which act in a “fuzzy” way on the operator algebras of local quantum physics. These actions do not require any spacetime noncommutativity ...

In the current study, an adaptive PID controller is proposed for fault-tolerant control of a quadrotor helicopter system in the presence of actuator faults. A fuzzy inference scheme is used to tune in real-time the controller gains. Tracking errors and change in tracking errors are used in this fuzzy scheduler to make the system act faster and more effectively in the event of fault occurrence. ...

This paper describes a transputer-based parallel controller that was developed in the Center for Intelligent Systems at Vanderbilt University to control the Soft Arm robot. The Soft Arm robot is used in a robotic aid system, called ISAC, for the physically challenged. The controller uses a network of T800 transputers as the parallel processing nodes. The controller is composed of a master node,...

Science parks are crucial for an innovative economic setting since they act as ‘development catalysts’ driving the startup of newly established high-tech firms. The selection of the appropriate science park becomes a major decision for start-up entrepreneurs since it is a multi-criterion decision problem which includes both qualitative and quantitative factors. The aim of this paper is to ident...

In this paper, conceptual foundations, the architecture, and the implementation of an agent-based electronic marketplace, FuzzyMAN (Fuzzy Multi-Agent Negotiations) are presented. Software agents on that marketplace negotiate about multiple issues according to a multilateral negotiation protocol. This protocol is based on a sequence of bilateral negotiations and on a preselection procedure which...

Handwritten character recognition is one of the most fascinating, complex and challenging task of pattern recognition research and it has been an ongoing research since the early days of computer. The aim of character recognition is to imitate the human reading capabilities to machine so that it can act like human. Although it is a very difficult task, it has several practical application. Natu...

This paper represents an experimental study on the application of smart control represented by use fuzzy logic controller. Two-link flexible manipulators that are used in airspace and military applications made materials characterized low frequency damping ratio. To solve this problem, proposes (piezoelectric transducers), where each link is bonded with a pair piezoelectric transducers act as s...

This paper introduces the Fuzzy Logic Hypercube Interpolator (FLHI) and demonstrates applications in control of multiple-input single-output (MISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processes with Hammerstein nonlinearities. FLHI consists of a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy inference system where membership functions act as kernel functions of an interpolator. Conjunction of membership functions i...
