Precise Past - Fuzzy Future

چکیده

This paper examines the motivation and foundations of fuzzy sets theory, now some 20 years old, particularly possible misconceptions about possible operators and relations to probability theory. It presents a standard uncertainty logic (SUI.) that subsumes standard propositional, fuzzy and probability logics, and shows how many key results may be derived within SUL without further constraints. These include resolutions of standard paradoxes such as those of the bald man and of the barber, decision rules used in pattern recognition and control, the derivation of numeric truth values from the axiomatic form of the SUL, and the derivation of operators such as the arithmetic mean. The addition of the constraint of truth-functionality to a SUL is shown to give fuzzy, or Lukasiewicz infinitely-valued, logic. The addition of the constraint of the law of the excluded middle to a SUL is shown to give probability, or modal $5, logic. An example is given of the use of the two logics in combination to give a possibility vector when modelling sequential behaviour with uncertain observations. This paper is based on the banquet address with the same title given at NAFIP-1, the First North American Fuzzy Information Processing Group Workshop, held at Utah State University, May 1982.

A case study for application of fuzzy inference and data mining in structural health monitoring

In this study, a system for monitoring the structural health of bridge deck and predicting various possible damages to this section was designed based on measuring the temperature and humidity with the use of wireless sensor networks, and then it was implemented and investigated. A scaled model of a conventional medium sized bridge (length of 50 meters, height of 10 meters, and with 2 piers) wa...

Integration of a control and a Predictive Maintenance System by a temporal Fuzzy-Controller

A new approach for fuzzy control of control and maintenance systems is introduced. A standard fuzzy controller with additional and new predicates is used. These predicates handle temporal aspects to detect or predict the behaviour of a process in the past or in the future. With the ability to examine the past or future behaviour, a user of the temporal fuzzy logic controller can more easily int...

BATHTUB HAZARD RATE DISTRIBUTIONS AND FUZZY LIFE TIMES

The development of life time analysis started back in the $20^{textit{th}}$ century and since then comprehensive developments have been made to model life time data efficiently. Recent development in measurements shows that all continuous measurements can not be measured as precise numbers but they are more or less fuzzy. Life time is also a continuous phenomenon, and has already been shown tha...
