Voice and speech communication is a major topic covering simultaneously ’communication’, ’control’ (because it often involves control in the coding algorithms), and ’computing’ - from speech analysis and recognition, to speech analytics and to speech codi... see more

Here we are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Lotfi Zadeh’s pioneering paper Fuzzy Sets that appeared in Information and Control in 1965. While the paper was clear, direct and easy to understand the ideas presented were revolutionary and ground brea... see more

The purpose of this article is to propose a fuzzy multi-attribute perfor- mance measurement (MAPM) framework using the merits of both a novel Weighted Aggregated Sum-Product Assessment method with Fuzzy values (WASPAS-F) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (... see more

The aim of this survey article, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Zadeh’s pioneering paper "Fuzzy Sets" (1965), is to offer a unitary view to some important spaces in fuzzy mathematics: fuzzy real line, fuzzy topological spaces, fuzzy metric spaces, fu... see more

In this paper, based on the fuzzy structured element, we prove that there is a bijection function between the fuzzy number space e1 and the space B[-1, 1], which defined as a set of standard monotonic bounded functions with monotonicity on interval [-1, 1... see more

Due to the complex and non linear character, wastewater treatment process is difficult to be controlled. The demand for removing the pollutant, especially for nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), as well as reducing the cost of wastewater treatment plant is a... see more

Samina Ashraf,Atiq ur Rehman,Etienne E. Kerre
This paper presents a new method to estimate the unknown values in incomplete interval-valued fuzzy preference relations (IVFPRs). The method is based on the min-consistency and is used to develop the algorithm for group decision making (GDM) dealing with... see more

This paper describes a decision support tool which can be used for aiding the academic sraff in making the decision of including a specialty subject in an engineering curriculum. The approach is based on building a list of competences that should be acqui... see more

The problem of fuzzy robust tracking control is investigated for uncertain nonlinear time-delay systems. The nonlinear time-delay system is modeled as uzzy Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) system, and fuzzy logic systems are used to eliminate the ncertainties of the s... see more

In many practical situations, the relation between the experts’ degrees of confidence in different related statements is well described by Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM). This empirical success is somewhat puzzling, since from the mathematical viewpoint, each... see more

In this paper we continue the study of fuzzy continuous mappings in fuzzy normed linear spaces initiated by T. Bag and S.K. Samanta, as well as by I. Sadeqi and F.S. Kia, in a more general settings. Firstly, we introduce the notion of uniformly fuzzy cont... see more

This paper proposes the unified treatment of an anti-windup technique for fuzzy and sliding mode controllers. A back-calculation and tracking anti-windup scheme is proposed in order to prevent the zero error integrator wind-up in the structures of state f... see more
