Yager Machine Intelligence Institute, Iona College New Rochelle, NY 10801 [email protected] (212)249-2047 ABSTRACT Fuzzy sets and other methods have been used to model a softening of constraints in CP problems. Here we suggest an approach to the softening of the CP problem at the meta level, the process used to aggregate the satisfactions to the individual constraints. We suggest the us...

many real time processes have complex, uncertain and nonlinear dynamics. boilers are nonlinear, time varying, multi-input multi-output (mimo) systems, whose states generally vary with operating conditions. the major problem in controlling that system is that its drum water pressure and steam flow dynamics include an integrator that results a critically stable behavior. conventional controller p...

Results from a set o f questionnaires designed to compare methods of obtaining membership functions were analyzed to identify general trends in fuzziness. It was found that fuzziness in comprehension is ahvays reflected in the answer; concepts such as difficulty, imprecision, and shape of membership functions are clearly interrelated; and the transition between crisp extremes through fuzziness ...

Information Systems, and in particular Current Research Information Systems (CRISs), are usually quite difficult to query when looking for specific information, due to the huge amounts of data they contain. To solve this problem, we propose to use a personal search agent that uses fuzzy and rough sets to inform the user about newly available information. Additionally, in order to automate the o...

Irrepressible growth of complex interconnectedness of information systems besides its obvious benefits unfortunately brought up the questions of their vulnerability. Practically universal access to computers has enabled hackers and would-be terrorists to attack information systems and critical infrastructures worldwide. Fuzzy preference relation, based on fuzzy satisfaction function is applied ...

Intuitionistic fuzzy special sets is a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper, under the framework of information systems, the relationship between intuitionistic fuzzy special sets and rough sets is analyzed. Based on basic intuitionistic fuzzy special sets of information systems, intuitionistic fuzzy special σ-algebra are generated, and rough sets are embedded in the intuiti...

Multivalued fuzzy behavior control systems for robot navigation have demonstrated more system robustness against sensor and environmental uncertainty and changes in behavioral priorities than univalued fuzzy behavior control systems. However, a major concern for the implementation of multivalued systems is the computational burden associated with the fuzzy inference and deffuzification process....

in this paper, we define the notions of fuzzy congruence relations and fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice and we obtain some related results. in particular, we will show that there exists a one to one correspondence between the set of all fuzzy congruence relations and the set of all fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice. then we study fuzzy...
