Application of interpolation-based fuzzy logic reasoning in behaviour-based control structures

Szilveszter Kovacs Laszlo T. Koczy

Publication Name: IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems

Publication Date: 2004-12-01

Volume: 3

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 1543-1548

Description:

Some difficulties emerging during the construction of fuzzy behaviour-based control structures are inherited from the type of the applied fuzzy reasoning. The fuzzy rule base requested for many classical reasoning methods needed to be complete. In case of fetching fuzzy rules directly from expert knowledge e.g. for the behaviour coordination module, the way of building a complete rule base is not always straightforward. One simple solution for overcoming the necessity of the complete rule base is the application of interpolation-based fuzzy reasoning methods, since interpolation-based fuzzy reasoning methods can serve usable (interpolated) conclusion even if none of the existing rules is hit by the observation. These methods can save the expert from dealing with derivable rules and help to concentrate on cardinal actions only. For demonstrating the applicability of the interpolation-based fuzzy reasoning methods in behaviour-based control structures a simple interpolation-based fuzzy reasoning method and its adaptation for behaviour-based control will be introduced briefly in this paper.

Boundary interpolation vs boundary elements: Theory and some applications

Csaba Gáspár

Publication Name: International Series on Advances in Boundary Elements

Publication Date: 2004-10-11

Volume: 19

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 143-152

Description:

Domain and boundary type meshless methods based on the Direct Multi-Elliptic Interpolation Method are presented. The approach is equivalent to a special RBF-method but completely avoids the solution of large, full and ill-conditioned systems, thus, the computational cost is significantly reduced. The method is illustrated through the example of the usual Poisson problem. Both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are investigated. The domain version of the method results in particular solutions, while the boundary version can be applied to solve homogeneous problems. Along Neumann boundaries, either off-boundary points can be introduced or a boundary reconstruction technique based on boundary interpolation can be applied. Some further possible applications are also outlined.

Soft computing based car body deformation and EES determination for car crash analysis systems

András Rövid Pál Michelberger Péter Várlaki Annamária R. Várkonyi-Kóczy Maria Da Graça Ruano

Publication Name: Conference Record IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference

Publication Date: 2004-10-08

Volume: 3

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 1674-1679

Description:

Car body deformation modeling plays a very important role in crash accident analyses, as well as in safe car body design. The determination of the energy absorbed by the deformation and the corresponding Energy Equivalent Speed can be of key importance, however their precise determination is a very difficult task. Although, using the results of crash tests, intelligent and soft methods offer a way to model the crash process itself, as well as to determine the absorbed energy, the before-crash speed of the car, etc. In this paper a modeling technique and an intelligent expert system are introduced which together are able to follow the deformation process of car bodies in car crashes and to analyze the strength of the different parts, thus significantly can contribute to the improvement of the safety of car bodies.

A fully symbolic design and modeling of nonlinear glucose control with Control System Professional Suite (CSPS) of Mathematica

Balázs Benyó Levente Kovács Z. Benyó Béla Paláncz

Publication Name: Acta Physiologica Hungarica

Publication Date: 2004-09-09

Volume: 91

Issue: 2

Page Range: 147-156

Description:

In this case study a fully symbolic design and modeling method are presented for blood glucose control of diabetic patients under intensive care using Mathematica. The analysis is based on a modified two-compartment model proposed by Bergman et al. (2). The applied feedback control law decoupling even the nonlinear model leads to a fully symbolic solution of the closed loop equations. The effectivity of the applied symbolic procedures being mostly built-in the new version of Control System Professional Suite (CSPS) Application of Mathematica have been demonstrated for controller design in case of a glucose control for treatment of diabetes mellitus and also presented for a numerical situation described in Juhász (8). The results are in good agreement with the earlier presented symbolic-numeric analysis by Benyó et al. (1).

A Test Model for Hardware and Software Systems

Jozsef Sziray

Publication Name: Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics

Publication Date: 2004-09-01

Volume: 8

Issue: 5

Page Range: 523-529

Description:

The paper is concerned with the general aspects of testing complex hardware and software systems. First a mapping scheme as a test model is presented for an arbitrary given system. This scheme serves for describing the one-to-one correspondence between the input and output domains of the system, where the test inputs and fault classes are also involved. The presented test model incorporates both the verification and the validation schemes for hardware and software. The significance of the model is that it alleviates the clear differentiation between verification and validation tests, which is important and useful in the process of test design and evaluation. On the other hand, this model provides a clear overview on the various purpose test sets, which helps in organizing and applying these sets. The second part of the paper examines the case when the hardware and software are designed by using formal specification. Here the consequences and problems of formal methods, and their impacts on verification and validation are discussed.

Energy-Conservative Algorithm for the Numerical Solution of Initial-Value Hamiltonian System Problems

E. M. Miletics

Publication Name: Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics

Publication Date: 2004-09-01

Volume: 8

Issue: 5

Page Range: 495-498

Description:

The numerical treatment of ODE initial-value problems has been intensively researched. Energy-conservative algorithms are very important to dinamic systems. For the Hamiltonian system the symplectic algorithms are very effective. Powerful computers and algebraic software enable the creation of efficient numerical algorithms for solving ODE initial-value problems. In this paper, we propose an adaptive energy-conservative numerical-analytical algorithm for Hamiltonian systems. This algorithm is adaptable to initial-value problems where some quantities are preserved. The algorithm and its efficiency are presented for solving two-body and linear oscillator problems.
