We discuss the use of the fuzzy measure for representing information about uncertain variables. We describe the relationship between the fuzzy measure and the Dempster-Shafer belief structure. A method for generating the fuzzy measures associated with a D-S belief structure is described. We discuss the use of the Shapley index as a means for providing an entropy for fuzzy measures. We introduce...

One of most critical system in military vehicles is the suspension system and the reliability of the system is essential to maintain a mission capable status. When changes to the vehicle suspension system are warranted, the reliability of the system must be reevaluated to assure that service life is maintained. As the design to implementation cycles continue to be reduce, new tools are needed t...

Software reliability estimation using fuzzy logic is shown in this article. The suggested approach tries to assign target dependability each of its parts. initial stage estimating combine the aspects experts proposed method. system’s element proportionality evaluated second phase. Employing equations defuzzification, system ele- ments undergo process defuzzification. We must compute weightage s...

Distribution systems can be operated in multiple configurations since they are possible combinations of radial and loop feeders. Each configuration leads to its own power losses and reliability level of supplying electric energy to customers. In order to obtain the optimal configuration of power networks, their reconfiguration is formulated as a complex optimization problem with different objec...
