The status of an operator's situation awareness is one the critical factors that influence quality missions. Thus measurement method important topic to research. So far, there are lots methods designed for status, but no model can measure it accurately in real-time, so this work conducted deal with such a gap. Firstly, collect relevant physiological data operators while they performing specific...

The analysis and representation of temporal data are becoming increasingly important in many areas of research and application. The existing Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) are efficient modeling method for knowledge representation and fuzzy reasoning in time series analysis. In the past, it was used to represent a complex causal system as a collection of concepts and causal relationships among con...

This paper focuses on the simulation of behavior for autonomous entities in virtual environments. The behavior of these entities must determine their responses not only to external stimuli, but also with regard to internal states. We propose to describe such behavior using fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM), whereby these internal states might be explicitly represented. This article presents the use of...

The report of the World Health Organization (WHO) about poor accessibility people living in low-to-middle-income countries to medical facilities and personnel has been a concern both professionals nonprofessionals healthcare. This led high morbidity mortality rates tropical regions, especially when such disease presents itself with confusable symptoms that are not easily differentiable by inexp...

A fuzzy cognitive map is a graphical means of representing arbitrary complex models of interrelations between concepts. The purpose of this paper is to describe a dynamic/adaptive fuzzy cognitive map based on the random neural network model. Previously, we have developed a random fuzzy cognitive map and illustrated its application in the modeling of processes. The adaptive fuzzy cognitive map c...

Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) were introduced as a tool to model the dynamics of qualitative systems and have been around for more than 20 years. However, how they have been used and the interpretations of their results are nowadays far from their original intended goal. This paper focuses on discussing the structure, the semantics and the possible use of FCM as tools to model and simulate comple...

This paper outlines a neural network model based on the Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) framework for solving the automatic image change detection problem. Each pixel in the reference image is assumed to be a node in the network. Each node has associated a fuzzy value, which determines the magnitude of the change. Each fuzzy value is updated by a trade-off between the influences received from the fu...
