Group communication in wireless multimedia networks must consider the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters for efficient and quality aware multicast route computation. QoS parameters such as bandwidth, channel reliability, buffers, delays, jitters, etc. play a vital role in wireless multimedia networks. Multicast tree development for group communication must press for more than one or two QoS pa...

In highly competitive industrial market, the concept of failure analysis is an unavoidable fact in complex industrial systems. Reliability of such systems not only depends on the reliability of each element of these systems, but also depends on occurrence of sequence of failures. In this paper, a novel approach to sequential failure analysis is proposed which is based upon fuzzy logic and the c...

This paper presents several AI (Artificial Intelligent) based embedded gesture recognition procedures for a user interface of a mobile terminal. In the presented solutions, a terminal includes three acceleration sensors positioned like xyz co-ordinate system in order to get three-dimensional acceleration vector, xyz (gesture). The acceleration vector is used as an input to a reasoning unit for ...

As a hot topic in supply chain management, fuzzy method has been widely used in logistics center location selection to improve the reliability and suitability of the logistics center location selection with respect to the impacts of both qualitative and quantitative factors. However, it does not consider the consistency and the historical assessments accuracy of experts in predecisions. So this...

Software companies are now keen to provide secure software with respect to accuracy and reliability of their products especially related to the software effort estimation. Therefore, there is a need to develop a hybrid tool which provides all the necessary features. This paper attempts to propose a hybrid estimator algorithm and model which incorporates quality metrics, reliability factor, and ...

The development and maintenance of software reliability enjoys a high priority in the evolution of modern computer technology. Over the last three decades or so, a tremendous amount of research has gone into the theory and practice of producing reliable software. Given the many subjective factors that in3uence software reliability, it is surprising that very little of this research has been dir...

Fuzzy systems of linear equations play a vital role in various applications of engineering, science and finance problems. This paper proposes a new method for solving Fully Fuzzy System of Linear Equations (FFSLE) using the linear programming problem approach. There is no restriction on the elements of coefficient matrix. The proposed method is able to solve the system, when the elements of the...

In this paper a new method for solving fuzzy differential equation with fractional order is considered. The fuzzy solution is construct by power series in the Caputo derivatives sense. To illustrate the reliability of method some examples are provided. In this paper a new method for solving fuzzy differential equation with fractional order is considered. The fuzzy solution is construct by power...

Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a widely used method for analyzing a system’s failure logic and calculating overall reliability. However, application of conventional FTA has some shortcomings, e.g. in handling the uncertainties, allowing the use of linguistic variables, and integrating human error in failure logic model. Hence, Fuzzy set theory has been proposed to overcome the limitation of conve...

An economic production quantity model with demand dependent unit production cost in fuzzy environment has been developed. Flexibility and reliability consideration are introduced in the production process. The models are developed under fuzzy goal and fuzzy restrictions on budgetary cost. The inventory related costs and other parameters are taken as fuzzy in nature. The problem is solved by par...
