In this paper, we design a neurofuzzy controller to control several variables of a rotary cement kilns. The variables are back-end temperature, pre-heater temperature, oxygen content and CO2 gas content of the kiln. The fuzzy control system, as an advanced control option for the kilns, is intended to minimize the operator interaction in the control process. The proposed fuzzy controller uses a ...

This paper evaluates the performance of ten significance measures applied to the problem of determining an appropriate network structure, for data modelling with neurofuzzy systems. The advantages of Neurofuzzy systems are demonstrated with application to both real and synthetic data interpretation problems.

Automatic reusability appraisal could be helpful in evaluating the quality of developed or developing reusable software components and in identification of reusable components from existing legacy systems; that can save cost of developing the software from scratch. But the issue of how to identify reusable components from existing systems has remained relatively unexplored. In this paper, we ha...

This paper reports application of neurofuzzy inference system (NFIS) and self organizing feature map neural networks (SOM) on detection of contact state in a block system. In this manner, on a simple system, the evolution of contact states, by parallelization of DDA, has been investigated. So, a comparison between NFIS and SOM results has been presented. The results show applicability of the pr...

The article is devoted to the issue of creating a mathematical model problem making management decisions in electric power facilities based on modern intelligent technologies, which makes it possible take into account influence various factors operating modes system. A systematic approach describing processes language theory fuzzy sets proposed. To solve controlling system, neurofuzzy network h...

A novel recurrent neurofuzzy network is proposed in this paper. More specifically, in this work we generalize the recurrent neurofuzzy network structure proposed in [1], which is in turn is an improvement of the feedforward structure introduced in [2]. The network structure is composed by two structures: a fuzzy inference system and a neural network. The fuzzy inference system contains fuzzy ne...

The purpose of this paper is, to describe a work-in process for application of distributed agency methodology to multi-dimensional preference model into a complex social system. This paper shows a study case focused on a modeling system for decision-making on cognitive structure religious affiliation preference. A type-2 neurofuzzy approach is used to configure cognitive rules into an agent to ...

Marquees are temporary light structures that are connected to the ground by tensile anchors to resist forces imposed by wind acting on the structure. Failures of such structures are not rare and have resulted in deaths and tens of thousands of dollars of damage. Consequently, an accurate estimation of the ultimate pullout capacity of ground anchors is essential; however, current methods for est...

This paper investigates the nonlinear predictability of technical trading rules based on a recurrent neural network as well as a neurofuzzy model. The efficiency of the trading strategies was considered upon the prediction of the direction of the market in case of NASDAQ and NIKKEI returns. The sample extends over the period 2/8/1971–4/7/1998 while the sub-period 4/8/1998–2/5/2002 has been rese...
