Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and Large Scale Complex Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of the technological systems are characterized by complexity, coupled relationships with feedback and a demanding procedure to develop their models. This paper presents the Soft Computing technique of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps that are knowledge-based methodologies suitable to describe and model complex systems and handle with available information from an abstract point of view. Fuzzy cognitive Maps develop behavioral model of the system exploiting the experience and knowledge of experts. Fuzzy Cognitive Maps applicability in modeling complex systems is presented and a general hierarchical structure is proposed to model any complex system. Within the hierarchical structure, Fuzzy Cognitive Map models the coordinator of the system and develops an abstract conceptual model of the complex system. Copyright © 2002

AN OBSERVER-BASED INTELLIGENT DECENTRALIZED VARIABLE STRUCTURE CONTROLLER FOR NONLINEAR NON-CANONICAL NON-AFFINE LARGE SCALE SYSTEMS
In this paper, an observer based fuzzy adaptive controller (FAC) is designed fora class of large scale systems with non-canonical non-affine nonlinear subsystems. It isassumed that functions of the subsystems and the interactions among subsystems areunknown. By constructing a new class of state observer for each follower, the proposedconsensus control method solves the problem of unmeasured sta...
متن کاملZ-Cognitive Map: An Integrated Cognitive Maps and Z-Numbers Approach under Cognitive Information
Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...

A Fuzzy Cognitive Map will be developed to model and control a process example and the...
متن کاملFuzzy Cognitive Maps for Modeling Complex Systems
This paper presents Fuzzy Cognitive Maps as an approach in modeling the behavior and operation of complex systems. This technique is the fusion of the advances of the fuzzy logic and cognitive maps theories, they are fuzzy weighted directed graphs with feedback that create models that emulate the behavior of complex decision processes using fuzzy causal relations. There are some applications in...
متن کاملPerceptions of Complex Systems Are Governed by Power Laws
Many networks in natural and human-made systems exhibit scale-free properties and are small worlds. Now we show that people’s understanding of complex systems in their cognitive maps also follow a scale-free topology. People focus on a few attributes, relating these with many other things in the system. Many more attributes have very few connections. People use relatively short explanations to ...
