A fuzzy clustering approach is studied for optimal pole selection of Orthonormal Basis Functions (OBFs) used for the identification of Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems. The identification approach is based on interpolation of locally identified Linear Time Invariant (LTI) models, using globally fixed OBFs. The selection of the optimal OBF structure, that guarantees the least worstcase loc...

This paper presents a real-time full-programmable fuzzy compiler based on piecewise linear interpolation techniques designed to be executed in SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) architectures. A fullprogrammable fuzzy processor is defined as a system where the set of rules, the membership functions, the t-norm, the t-conorm, the aggregation operator, the propagation operator, and the defuz...

In this project we investigate di erent hardware authentication schemes based on Physically Unclonable Functions. We start by analyzing the concepts of a fuzzy extractor and a secure sketch from an information-theoretic perspective. We then present a hardware implementation of a fuzzy extractor which uses the code o set construction with BCH codes. Finally, we propose a new cryptographic protoc...

Fuzzy systems working with classical compositional rule based reasoning methods require the existence of applicable rules for all the possible observations, i.e. an ε>0 covering rule base. In several cases this demand cannot be fulfilled either due to lack of proper rules or the limited storing and processing possibilities. In such circumstances the application of FRI based inference techniques...

Qualitative modeling of technical processes may be accomplished by dynamic fuzzy systems. A new inference method with interpolating rules is proposed as an essential basis for the analysis of this class of systems. Using this approach, the system output is dependent on both an interpolating rule derived from the fuzzy input and the fuzzy input itself. A simple example shows the typical behavior...
