organizational performance is a complex issue given that performance is a multifaceted phenomenon whose components may have distinct managerial priorities and may even be mutually inconsistent. recently, the balanced scorecard approach (bsc), as an effective multi-criteria evaluation concept received much attention in organizational performance measurement. although the bsc conceptual framework...

The single input rule modules (SIRMs) based type-1 fuzzy inference systems (SIRM-T1FISs), which assign each input item with a rule module, can greatly reduce the number of fuzzy rules and have found lots of applications. This paper extends SIRMT1FISs to the interval type-2 case to achieve better performance. Furthermore, the properties of the SIRMs based interval type-2 fuzzy inference systems ...

This paper introduces a new type of fuzzy inference systems, denoted as dynamic evolving neural-fuzzy inference system (DENFIS), for adaptive online and offline learning, and their application for dynamic time series prediction. DENFIS evolve through incremental, hybrid (supervised/unsupervised), learning, and accommodate new input data, including new features, new classes, etc., through local ...

While using automated learning methods, the lack of accuracy and poor knowledge generalization are both typical problems for a rule-based system obtained on a given data set. This paper introduces a new method capable of generating an accurate rule-based fuzzy inference system with parameterized consequences using an automated, off-line learning process based on multi-phase evolutionary computi...

This paper proposes a novel approach to similarity-based approximate reasoning in an interval-valued fuzzy environment. In a rule-based system, an ‘if ... then ...’ rule can be translated into an intervalvalued fuzzy relation by suitable implication operations. The similarity grade between a case and the antecedent of a rule is computed and used to modify the relation. A consequent is derived f...

Recently, the balanced scorecard approach (BSC), as an effective multi-criteria evaluation concept received much attention in organizational performance measurement.

In the paper the system based on camera and multimedia projector enabling a user to control computer applications by dynamic hand gestures is presented. The main objective is to present the gesture recognition methodology which bases on representing hand movement trajectory by motion vectors analyzed using fuzzy rule-based inference. The approach was engineered in the system developed with J2SE...

In this work, we show that single input single output (SISO) fuzzy inference systems based on Fuzzy Relational Inference (FRI) with implicative interpretation of the rule base are universal approximators under suitable choice of operations for the other components of the fuzzy system. The presented proofs make no assumption on the form or representations of the considered fuzzy implications and...

Qualitative modeling may be applied when knowledge about a system is only available in linguistic form. The knowledge might be processed by a dynamic fuzzy system consisting of a rule base and an inference method modeling human reasoning. Conventional fuzzy inference methods do not consider this association to human reasoning and therefore are not suitable for the dynamic processing of linguist...
