Today, information networks play an important role in supply chain management. Therefore, in this article, clustering-based routing protocols, which are one of the most important ways to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks, are used to optimize the supply chain informational cloud network. Accordingly, first, a clustering protocol is presented using self-organizing map neu...

Image segmentation is an essential issue in image description and classification. Currently, in many real applications, segmentation is still mainly manual or strongly supervised by a human expert, which makes it irreproducible and deteriorating. Moreover, there are many uncertainties and vagueness in images, which crisp clustering and even Type-1 fuzzy clustering could not handle. Hence, Type-...

A combined approach to data-driven fuzzy rule-based modeling is described. The rules of an initial model are derived from data by means of a supervised clustering method that to a certain degree ensures the transparency of the resulting rule base. This model is, however, suboptimal, and a realcoded genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to optimize simultaneously both the antecedent and the consequ...
