Rough membership function defines the degree of relationship between conditional and decision attributes an information system. It is defined by where src=image/13429145_07.gif> subset src=image/13429145_08.gif> under relation src=image/13429145_09.gif> universe discourse. can be expressed in different forms like cardinality form, probabilistic form etc. In it as...

This paper presents a novel method to authenticate an individual’s membership in a group without revealing the individual’s identity and without restricting how the member of the group may be changed. It has the ability to authenticate membership and is robust to cope with the variations of both the group size and the group member of membership.

In this study, the roll, yaw and depth fuzzy control of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) are addressed. Yaw and roll angles are regulated only using their errors and rates, but due to the complexity of depth dynamic channel, additional pitch rate quantity is used to improve the depth loop performance. The discussed AUV has four flaps at the rear of the vehicle as actuators. Two rule bases...

In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of applying fuzzy controllers to create strong computer player programs in the domain of backgammon. Fuzzeval, our proposed mechanism, consists of a fuzzy controller that dynamically evaluates the perceived strength of the board configurations it receives. Fuzzeval employs an evaluation function that adjusts the membership functions linked to the l...

External dynamic hashing has been used in traditional database systems as a fast method to answer membership queries. Given a dynamic set S of objects, a membership query asks whether an object with identity k is in the most current S. This paper addresses the more general problem of Temporal Hashing. In this setting changes to the dynamic set are timestamped and the membership query has a temp...
