Fuzzy{logic theory is a valuable tool to structure ad{hoc designs where model{based designs are not suitable or even not available. There exist numerous examples of industry proven fuzzy{logic solutions in the domain of control, pattern recognition and expert systems. The design of fuzzy systems demand a great deal of experience and intuition. Due to the many degrees of freedom in the design of...

Site selection for sitting of urban activities/facilities is one of the crucial policy-related decisions taken by urban planners and policy makers. The process of site selection is inherently complicated. A careless site imposes exorbitant costs on city budget and damages the environment inevitably. Nowadays, multi-attributes decision making approaches are suggested to use to improve precision ...

This research presents a novel design approach to achieve an optimal structure established upon multiple objective functions by simultaneous utilization of the Enhanced Time Evolutionary Optimization method and Fuzzy Logic (FLETEO). For this purpose, at first, modeling of the structure design problem in this space is performed using fuzzy logic concepts. Thus, a new problem creates with functio...

Conventional fuzzy logic controller is applicable when there are only two fuzzy inputs with usually one output. Complexity increases when there are more than one inputs and outputs making the system unrealizable. The ordinal structure model of fuzzy reasoning has an advantage of managing high-dimensional problem with multiple input and output variables ensuring the interpretability of the rule ...

Despite half a century of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic progress, as fuzzy sets address complex and uncertain information through the lens of human knowledge and subjectivity, more progress is needed in the semantics of fuzzy sets and in exploring the multi-modal aspect of fuzzy logic due to the different cognitive, emotional and behavioral angles of assessing truth. We lay here the foundations of...

Information Technology (IT) projects are always accompanied by various risks and because of high rate of failure in such projects, managing risks in order to neutralize or at least decrease their effects on the success of the project is strongly essential. In this paper, fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) is exploited as a means of risk evaluation methodology to prioritize and organize r...

Type-2 fuzzy logic to make up for the lack of a type of fuzzy logic in dealing with uncertainty, object contains uncertainty is strong; the application of type-2 fuzzy logic advantage is more obvious. In this paper, type-2s of fuzzy logic for power load time series forecasting, good results were obtained. According to the power load has strong randomness it is difficult to accurately forecast p...

Semantic web, also known as next generation web, aims to provide context based information and services to the user. Although, ontologies play key role in implementation and exploitation of semantic web, however these fail to handle imprecision and uncertainty involved in user requests. Fuzzy logic provides a means to overcome the mentioned shortcoming and hence handles imprecise and vague know...

This paper describes how high-level of Object-Oriented concepts can be used to provide a generic, portable and polymorphic Fuzzy Logic framework. It highlights the way in which such OO concepts allow the extension of the programming language idioms with the semantics of the fuzzy logic field. A progressive approach presents; in a first step Fuzzy Logic systems; then, relevant classes, design pa...
