The accuracy of different coarse-resolution land cover products is an important consideration for product users at the regional or global scale, and different evaluation methods inevitably result in discrepancies in accuracy for the same land cover product. The remote sensing community has responded to this increased interest by improving methodologies for more accurately evaluating the correct...

The paper presents experimental comparison of several resolution strategies for reasoning in Fuzzy Description Logic based on Fuzzy Predicate Logic with evaluated syntax. Resolutionbased reasoning is established on previous works concerning non-clausal resolution principle both theoretical and application-oriented (FPLGERDS inference engine).

The goal of multi-dimensional fuzzy analysis consists in discovering different properties in multi-dimensional fuzzy distributions represented either extensionally (database) or intensionally (knowledge base). In this paper we show how this approach can be applied to such problems as decision making and knowledge discovery in databases. For uniform and efficient representation of fuzzy knowledg...

In this paper, the portfolio selection problem is considered, where fuzziness and randomness appear simultaneously in optimization process. Since return and dividend play an important role in such problems, a new model is developed in a mixed environment by incorporating fuzzy random variable as multi-objective nonlinear model. Then a novel interactive approach is proposed to determine the pref...

 This paper deals with measuring inconsistency and incompatibility of pair-wise comparison matrix with fuzzy elements. Here we deal with some properties of such pair-wise comparisons, particularly, reciprocity consistency and compatibility. Moreover, we show how to measure it defining two new indices. The first index of inconsistency is based on the classical concept of consistency, however, i...

Formal methods are widely recognized as a powerful engineering method for the specification, simulation, development, and verification of distributed interactive systems. However, most formal methods rely on a two-valued logic, and are therefore limited to the axioms of that logic: a specification is valid or invalid, component behavior is realizable or not, safety properties hold or are violat...

In this study, a generalized fuzzy linear programming (GFLP)method is developed for dealing with uncertainties expressed as fuzzy sets. The feasibility of fuzzy solutions of theGFLPproblem is investigated. A stepwise interactive algorithm (SIA) based on the idea of design of experiment is then advanced to solve the GFLP problem. This SIA method was implemented through (i) discretizing membershi...
