Membrane systems are computing devices inspired from the cell functioning. A feature of membrane systems is the fact that objects and membranes are persistent. In fact, this is not quite true in the real world: cells and intracellular proteins have a well... see more

Neural networks have been applied successfully in many fields. However, satisfactory results can only be found under large sample conditions. When it comes to small training sets, the performance may not be so good, or the learning task can even not be ac... see more

In this paper a new model, based on state machines, of adaptive control systems is presented. Due to its high level of expressiveness, UML was chosen as the modeling language. In particular the paper presents a model of an indirect adaptive control system... see more

This paper presents a new algorithm for image segmentation problem using the concepts of Euler graphs in graph theory. By treating image as an undirected weighted non-planar finite graph (G), image segmentation is handled as graph partitioning problem. Th... see more

Consensus problem of second-order multi-agent systems with velocity damping term in agent’s dynamics is investigated. Based on frequency-domain analysis, decentralized consensus condition, which depends on the input delays, is obtained for the system base... see more

Text categorization is the problem of classifying text documents into a set of predefined classes. In this paper, we investigated two approaches: a) to develop a classifier for text document based on Naive Bayes Theory and b) to integrate this classifier ... see more

The presented work is dedicated to the supervision of manufacturing job-shops with time constraints. Such systems have a robustness property towards time disturbances. The main contribution of this paper is a fuzzy filtering approach of sensors signals in... see more

This paper examines how two techniques of the Particle Swarm Optimization method (PSO) can be used to solve the Economic Power Dispatch (EPD) problem. The mathematical model of the EPD is a nonlinear one, PSO algorithms being considered efficient in solvi... see more
