Wireless sensor network plays an important role in intelligent navigation. It incorporates a group of sensors to overcome the limitation of single detection system. Dempster-Shafer evidence theory can combine the sensor data of the wireless sensor network by data fusion, which contributes to the improvement of accuracy and reliability of the detection system. However, due to different sources o...

Automated quality assessment of clinician actions and patient outcomes is a central problem in guideline- or standards-based medical care. In this paper we describe a unified model representation and algorithm for evidence-adaptive quality assessment scoring that can: (1) use both complex case-specific guidelines and single-step population-wide performance-indicators as quality measures; (2) sc...

We consider future cash flows that are contingent both on dates in time and on uncertain states. The decision maker (DM) values the cash flows according to its decision criterion: Here the payoffs’ expectation with respect to a capacity measure. The subjective measure grasps the DM’s behaviour in front of the future, in the spirit of de Finetti’s (1930) and of Yaari’s (1987) Dual Theory in the ...

Drilling engineering is not only a systematic engineering that involves several workcategories, work procedures,intersectant and continuous operation, but also is a concealed underground engineering. There are uncertain factors in drilling projects, which have the characteristics of high investment and risk. On the basis of the overall analysis of the two factors of geology and engineering, the...

Based on the concept of an interval-valued function which is motivated by the goal to represent an uncertain function, we define the Choquet integral with respect to a fuzzy measure of intervalvalued functions. We also discuss convergence in the C mean and convergence in a fuzzy measure of sequences of measurable interval-valued functions. In particular, we investigate the convergence theorem f...

Is public opinion a beloved but unreal myth like the unicorn? Or a thing out there in the garden like an elephant, of which sight-impaired, competing methodologists measure different parts? Or a fuzzy set of probabilities like the electron, both wave and particle, perhaps of inherently uncertain location? Or does it include all of the above? ...If we want to measure public opinion, we need to d...

Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence (D-S theory) is widely used in uncertain information process. The basic probability assignment(BPA) is a key element in D-S theory. How to measure the distance between two BPAs is an open issue. In this paper, a new method to measure the distance of two BPAs is proposed. The proposed method is a generalized of existing evidence distance. Numerical examples are...

This paper presents a construction and the analysis of class non-Gaussian positive-definite matrix-valued homogeneous random fields with uncertain spectral measure for stochastic elliptic operators. Then boundary value problem in bounded domain 3D-space is introduced analyzed homogenization.

The allocation of scarce, reusable resources over time to interconnected tasks in uncertain and dynamic environments in order to optimize a performance measure is a general problem which arises in many real-world domains. The paper overviews several recent distributed approaches to this problem and compares their properties, such as the guarantees of finding a (near-) optimal solution, their ro...
