regarding the large number of developed particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithms and the various applications for which pso has been used, selecting the most suitable variant of pso for solving a particular optimization problem is a challenge for most researchers. in this paper, using a comprehensive survey and taxonomy on different types of pso, an expert system (es) is designed to identif...

nowadays, project selection is a vital decision in many organizations. because competition among research projects in order to gain more budgets and to attain new scientific domain has increased. due to multiple objectives and budgeting restrictions for academic research projects have led to the use of expert system for decision making by academic and research centers. the existing methods suff...

one-third of the people with an age over twenty have some signs of degenerated discs. however, in most of the patients the mere presence of degenerative discs is not a problem leading to pain, neurological compression, or other symptoms. this paper presents an interval type-2 fuzzy hybrid rule-based system to diagnose the abnormal degenerated discs where pain variables are represented by interv...

expert systems are computer programs that make the knowledge of experts available when a human expert is not with in easy reach. the systems are to simulate the thinking and inference pattern of human being. the ultimate goal of expert system is to be analogous to human as much as possible. utilizing the intelligent system in commerce is indispensable for establishing a better connection with c...
