Evolutionary Fuzzy Systems (EFSs) are fuzzy systems augmented by a learning process based on evolutionary computation such as evolutionary algorithms (EAs). These systems contribute with several advantages in the development of algorithms, and specifically in the development of subgroup discovery (SD) approaches. SD is a descriptive data mining technique using supervised learning in order to de...

Web services are integrated web-based applications that function over a protocol backbone. Web service selection is one of the most important steps in many of the web service applications such as UDDI registries and web service repositories. Each web service has its own functionality which matches the service request. QoS plays a major role in selecting web services in terms of qualitative meas...

Object detection, recognition and texture classification is an important aspect of many industrial quality control systems. In this paper, we report on a system designed for the inspection of surfaces which has a range of applications in the area of metallurgy. The approach considered is based on the application of Fractal Geometry and Fuzzy Logic for texture classification and, in this paper, ...

in this paper, we propose the least-squares method for computing the positive solution of a m  n fully fuzzy linear system (ffls) of equations, where m > n, based on kaman's arithmetic operations on fuzzy numbers that introduced in [18]. first, we consider all elements of coecient matrix are non-negative or non-positive. also, we obtain 1-cut of the fuzzy number vector solution of the n...

The Web is changing the information access processes and it is one of the most important information media. Thus, the developments on the Web are having a great influence over the developments on others information access instruments as digital libraries. As the development of digital libraries is to satisfy user need, user satisfaction is essential for the success of a digital library. The aim...

With the development of society, high-level applied students have been an urgent demand and the quality of entrepreneurial education of postgraduate has attracted more and more attention. Based on the requirements of universities society and enterprise for the comprehensive ability of postgraduate, we proposed the evaluation index system and used AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation approach, whi...

This paper employs Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methodology to translate customer needs and requirements into the quality characteristics to improve quality for an existing product to develop a new consumer product. The traditional quality function deployment technique consists of six steps. The purpose of the first step is to measure the voice of the customer that reveals his/her needs an...

In the present paper, Radial Basis Function interpolations are applied to approximate a fuzzy function $tilde{f}:Rrightarrow mathcal{F}(R)$, on a discrete point set $X={x_1,x_2,ldots,x_n}$, by a fuzzy-valued function $tilde{S}$. RBFs are based on linear combinations of terms which include a single univariate function. Applying RBF to approximate a fuzzy function, a linear system wil...
