In this study, we proposed a Fuzzy and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process)-based negotiation support mechanism (FAHP-NEGO) to support the dynamic negotiation in Electronic Commerce (EC). Most of former researches proposed the negotiation support mechanisms, which were based on quantitative conditions only. In real-world case, however, it was crucial to have qualitative negotiation conditions such ...

This work presents a fuzzy controller capable of designing its own structure online, based on the data obtained during the normal system operation. The algorithm does not use previous information about the differential equations that define the plant’s behaviour. The controller may be initially empty, as the method is able to distinguish the important input variables by assigning them more memb...

The paper presents an automated method for generating fuzzy rules and fuzzy membership functions for pattern classification from training sets of examples. Initially, fuzzy subspaces are created from the partitions formed by the minimum and maximum of individual feature values of each class. The initial membership functions are determined according to the generated fuzzy partitions. The fuzzy s...

The present study considers a fuzzy color system in which triangular pyramid-like membership functions are constructed on the RGB color triangle. This system can process a fuzzy input to an RGB system and output the center of gravity of three weights associated with respective grades. Triangular pyramid-like membership functions are applied to the RGB color triangle relationship. By treating th...

Some aspects of eLearning experience can be enhanced in a very natural way by using the basic tools offered by fuzzy logic. As a matter of example, consider the uncontrolled growth of information produced in a collaborative-oriented context, in which each participant (e.g. students, teachers) is able to insert and share new contents (e.g. comments, texts) concerning a university course. All the...

The problem of histogram sharpening and thresholding by mlnJmising greylevel fuzziness is considered. The earlier work on the said problem consists only of algoril.hms without mathematical justification of the findings. For example, the choices of appropriate membership function and the optimum value of its window size (band width) for deteeting thresholds were made experimentally with iterativ...

In many practical situations, we only know the bounds on the distances. A natural question is: knowing these bounds, can we check whether there exists a metric whose distance always lie within these bounds – or such a metric is not possible and thus, the bounds are inconsistent. In this paper, we provide an answer to this question. We also describe possible applications of this result to a desc...

The original aim of this research was the introduction of a compositive measure of information (see e.g. [5]) on a class (an algebra) of fuzzy subsets of an universe f2. However, there is a bijection between the class of compositive informations and the class of decomposable measures (see e.g. [2]). Therefore, we restated our problem as the one of the construction of a decomposable measure over...

In symbolic data analysis, high granularity of information may lead to rules based on a few cases only for which there is no evidence that they are not due to random choice, and thus have a doubtful validity. We suggest a simple way to improve the statistical strength of rules obtained by rough set data analysis by identifying attribute values and investigating the resulting information system....

In this paper we present our ongoing work for getting the discrimination power of the Fuzzy Texture Spectrum encoding. The model we propose provides the classes encoded by the spectrum having outstanding power for getting homogeneous, granulated and structured texture image characterization. Moreover, we provide the membership functions allowing getting the degrees to which an image (or image p...
