agility metrics are difficult to define in general, mainly due to the multidimensionality and vagueness of the concept of agility itself. in this paper, a knowledge-based framework is proposed for the measurement and assessment of public sector agility using the a.t.kearney model. fuzzy logic provides a useful tool for dealing with decisions in which the phenomena are imprecise and vague. in th...

adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and the effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. in this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...

In this article, a speed control of DC motor is designed and illustrated using fuzzy logic-based programmable logic controller (PLC). The DC motor is an attractive part of electrical equipment in many industrial applications requiring variable speed and load specifications due to its ease of controllability. The designed system is consisted of three main parts including programmable logic contr...

Product configuration provides an important opportunity for taking advantage of a number of the benefits of mass customization. Mass customization is aimed at developing a wide external variety of products to satisfy individual customers, with managed internal diversity to prevent cost proliferation. In this context, we propose an iterative product configuration method applying fuzzy logic whic...

Communication protocols issues are one of the effective factors in communicated networks performance. One of challenging problem in CMT-SCTP which sends data by multipath concurrently is Receive Buffer Blocking. This problem has important role in data transmission speed in computer networks. In this paper, we propose a control method based on fuzzy logic so that can solve Receive Buffer Blockin...

Power systems are subjected to small–signal oscillations that can be caused by sudden change in the value of large loads. To avoid the dangers of these oscillations, the Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) are used. When the PSSs can not be effective enough, installation of the Thyristor–based compensators to increase the oscillations damping is a suitable method. In this paper, a Static Synchronou...

Induction motors (IMs) are widely used in many industrial applications due to their robustness, low cost, simplicity and relative good efficiency. One of the major considerations for IMs is their speed control. PI (proportional-integrator) controllers are usually used as speed controller. Adjusting the gain of PI controller is time-consuming which needs thorough considerations. Hence, fuzzy con...

In the 3eld of fuzzy modelling, the exclusive consideration of the modelling error leads to problems concerning the handling of high-dimensional applications and the interpretability of the resulting rule base. To solve those problems, a statistically motivated fuzzy rule test is proposed. It decides if a fuzzy IF=THEN statement is a relevant rule or not. In this way, the problem of 3nding a go...

The management of uncertainty and imprecision is becoming more and more important in knowledge-based systems. Fuzzy logic provides a systematic basis for representing and inferring with this kind of knowledge. This paper describes an approach for fuzzy inference based on an uncertainty forward propagation method and a change in the granularity of the elements involved. The proposed model is abl...

In this document we carry out a comparative analysis of the application of Fuzzy Logic Controllers (hereinafter FLCs), Fuzzy Temporal Rules-Based Controllers (hereinafter FTRCs), Temporal Fuzzy Logic Controllers (hereinafter TFLCs) and Faded Temporal fuzzy Logic Controllers (hereinafter FTFLCs), to improve the adaptive distributed routing. To obtain a good knowledge base the controllers were ev...
