Fuzzy flip-flops and neural nets?

Publication Name: IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems

Publication Date: 2007-12-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

J-K flip-flops are elementary digital units providing sequential features/memory functions. Their definitive equation is used both in the minimal disjunctive and conjunctive forms. Fuzzy connectives do not satisfy all Boolean axioms, thus the fuzzy equivalents of these equations result in two non-equivalent definitions, "reset and set type" fuzzy flip-flops (F3) by Hirota & al. when introducing the concept of F 3. The paper gives an overview of some of the most famous F 3-s by presenting their definitions and graphs. An interesting aspect of F3-s might be that they have a certain convergent behavior when one of their inputs (e.g. J) is exited repeatedly. This is true even if the other input (K) is kept at a constant value. The behavior is more versatile if both inputs are given a series of changing values. If J is considered the equivalent of the traditional input of a neuron (with an adder unit applied before J), K might play a secondary modifier's role, or can just be set fix. The paper encourages to the investigation of such possible F3-networks as new alternative types of neural networks. © 2007 IEEE.

Fuzzy signature and cognitive modelling for complex decision model

Publication Name: Advances in Soft Computing

Publication Date: 2007-12-01

Volume: 42

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 380-389

Description:

As data is getting more complex and complicated, it is increasingly difficult to construct an effective complex decision model. Two very obvious examples where such a need emerges are in the economic and the medical fields. This paper presents the fuzzy signature and cognitive modeling approach which could improve such decision models. Fuzzy signatures are introduced to handle complex structured data and problems with interdependent features. A fuzzy signature can also be used in cases where data is missing. The proposed fuzzy signature structure will be used in problems that fall into this category. This paper also investigates a novel cognitive model to extend the usage of fuzzy signatures. This Fuzzy Cognitive Signature Modelling will enhance the usability of fuzzy theory in modelling complex systems as well as facilitating complex decision making process based on ill structured information or data. © 2007 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

NFC applications and business model of the ecosystem

Publication Name: 2007 16th Ist Mobile and Wireless Communications Summit

Publication Date: 2007-12-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

StoLPaN, a pan-European consortium of companies, universities and user groups co-funded by the European Commission (EU), Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme aims to define open commercial and technical frameworks for the remote management of NFC-enabled services on mobile devices. These frameworks will facilitate the deployment of NFC-enabled mobile applications across a wide range of vertical markets, regardless of the phone type and the nature of the services required. This paper introduces the business aspects of the NFC based service development and the technical infrastructure implementing the core of the NFC-enabled services.

Increasing diagnostic accuracy by meta optimization of fuzzy rule bases

Publication Name: IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems

Publication Date: 2007-12-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

In medicine the decision on which test to choose for a given decision problem is a delicate problem. On the one hand a positive test should be a reliable indicator on the presence of a disease, while on the other hand a negative test is required to be an indicator on the absence of a disease. Of course, these two goals are conflicting and a balanced decision according to the current situation is required. Inductive learning methods for (fuzzy) rule bases are, however, typically not capable of optimizing such complex and problem depending goal functions. We therefore present a meta-learning algorithm which selects a subset from a previously generated set of fuzzy rules using bacterial evolutionary algorithms. We also present a study where the proposed method is used to generate a model for predicting the presence/absence of hepatitis, based on laboratory results. © 2007 IEEE.

Joint experiments on small tokamaks: Edge plasma studies on CASTOR

Publication Name: Nuclear Fusion

Publication Date: 2007-12-01

Volume: 47

Issue: 5

Page Range: 378-386

Description:

The 1st Joint (Host Laboratory) Experiment on 'joint research using small tokamaks' was carried out using the IPP Prague experimental facility 'CASTOR tokamak'. The main experimental programme was aimed at characterizing the edge plasma in a tokamak by using different advanced diagnostic techniques. It is widely recognized that characterization of phenomena occurring at the plasma edge is essential for understanding the plasma confinement in a tokamak. The edge plasma in small and large scale experiments has many similar features, and the results obtained through detailed measurements in a small flexible device such as CASTOR are in many aspects still relevant to those in large tokamaks. Therefore, it is expected that the results of this joint experiment will have general validity. The radial and poloidal structure of electrostatic turbulence was characterized. The effects of edge biasing were analysed. Radiation fluctuations and profile measurements were performed using fast bolometry. Plasma position measurements were performed using novel Hall sensors. © 2007 IAEA, Vienna.

Do we have to take into account the human mistakes during traffic simulation?

Publication Name: Ines 2007 11th International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems Proceedings

Publication Date: 2007-12-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 45-49

Description:

This paper deals with an actual question of traffic modeling: the human mistakes are implicable and is it needed to involve them into a traffic model or not? The first part of the paper gives a short survey of the role of traffic simulation. The second part of the paper contains our approach and represents the first step of our method aimed at the development of a driver model applicable in the widely used simulation systems to describe practical traffic situations. ©2007 IEEE.
