Nowadays the study of faults and their consequences becomes an issue into highly safety critical computer network systems. How to bound the effects of a fault and how to tackle them into a dynamic system is still an open field. In here an approach to tack... see more

A Brain-Computer Interface uses measurements of scalp electric potential (electroencephalography - EEG) reflecting brain activity, to communicate with external devices. Recent developments in electronics and computer sciences have enabled applications tha... see more

In this paper, in order to achieve tracking performance of uncertain fractional order chaotic systems an adaptive hybrid fuzzy controller is proposed. During the design procedure, a hybrid learning algorithm combining sliding mode control and Lyapunov sta... see more

Fuzzy Set Theory has been developed during the last decades to a demanding mathematical theory. There exist more than 50,000 publications in this area by now. Unluckily the number of reports on applications of fuzzy technology has become very scarce. The ... see more

In historical district at European cities it is a major problem how to take decision on renovating or replacing existing buildings. This problem is imminent in Budapest (Hungary) in many traditional districts such as the Ferencváros district where we sele... see more

This paper wants to provide a personal view of the beginnings of fuzzy logic which was first introduced in the 1960’s by Lotfi Zadeh, when fuzzy sets were presented as models of any vague concept, making possible the computation with ... see more

To reduce computational cost in fuzzy systems in communication networks, distance based triggering and sampling rate adaptation probabilities are proposed based on the concept of probability via expectation. The triggering probability, which is calculated... see more

Intelligent agent based system can be used to identify high-level concepts matching sets of keywords provided by users. A new human-inspired approach to concept identification in documents is introduced here. The proposed method takes keywords and builds ... see more

Real world environments are characterized by high levels of linguistic and numerical uncertainties. A Fuzzy Logic System (FLS) is recognized as an adequate methodology to handle the uncertainties and imprecision available in real world environments and ap... see more

In this paper we illuminate the first decade of Fuzzy Sets and Systems (FSS) where nobody thought that this theory would be successful in the field of applied sciences and technology. We show that especially Lotfi A. Zadeh, the founder of the theory of FS... see more

Complex fuzzy sets, classes, and logic have an important role in applications, such as prediction of periodic events and advanced control systems, where several fuzzy variables interact with each other in a multifaceted way that cannot be represented effe... see more

The concept of “approximate reasoning” is central to Zadeh’s contributions in logic. Standard fuzzy logic as we use today is only one potential interpretation of Zadeh’s concept. I discuss various meanings for the syntagme "approximate reasoning" as intui... see more

This book is about the disassembly of end-of-life products with particular emphasis on methods and techniques for solving the Disassembly Line Balancing Problem.Disassembly is viewed as "the systematic separation and extracting valuable entities for possi... see more
