In this paper, we propose an approximate "fuzzy Voronoi" diagram(FVD)for fuzzy numbers of dimension two (FNDT) by designing an extension ofcrisp Voronoi diagram for fuzzy numbers. The fuzzy Voronoi sites are defined asfuzzy numbers of dimension two. In th... see more

The low-cost, limited-energy, and large-scale sensor nodes organize wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Sleep scheduling algorithms are introduced in these networks to reduce the energy consumption of the nodes in order to enhance the networklifetime. In thi... see more

According to the traditional CS theory, each sensor node in the wireless sensor networks always is assumed to directly deliver relative information to sink node, which only considers the intra-signal correlation structure. In addition, these may lead to t... see more

This paper presents a novel networked control framework, using fuzzylogic control, for systems with network delays which are known togreatly weaken the control performance of the controlled system. Todeal with the network delays, the predicted differences... see more
