Considering the symbiosis between humans and robots in coming years, robots should be able to infer the implicit human intention for the efficient humanrobot interaction. This paper focuses on the human-robot cooperation problem among the various fields of human-robot interaction. The human intention reading method using fuzzy cognitive map for the efficient human-robot cooperation is proposed ...

Introduction: There is a lack of consensus among researchers about the exact definition of homelessness [1] but in a broader context and in this research, a person is considered homeless who "lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate night-time residence [2]”. Homelessness in Vancouver is a challenge to the social development of the community. A recent survey of homeless count [3] revealed that Vanc...

Integrating emotional agent into virtual learning environment is a flourishing research topic to assist the pedagogical applications. However, most of existing emotional agents still lack of a straightforward and understandable computational strategy for both educational experts and developers. In this paper, we integrate an emotional agent into a pedagogical project which uses OCC-based rules ...

Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is series of best practices that helps Information technology Organizations to provide Information technology (IT) services for their customers with better performances and quality. This a rticle is looking for a way to implement ITIL in an organization and also using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) to model the problem for better understanding of...

This paper is concerned with proposing the fuzzy cognitive map (FCM)-driven inference ampli®cation mechanism in the ®eld of web-mining. As the recent advent of the Internet, most of the modern ®rms are now geared towards using the web technology in their daily as well as strategic activities. The web-mining technology provides them with unprecedented ability to analyze web-log data, which are s...

Customer satisfaction is one of the key factors in modern marketing and customers’ behavior analysis. Banking industry is one of the numerous services in which the customer satisfaction has had an ever increasing importance in the corresponding research areas. The problem here is the complexity of dealing with customer satisfaction due to superabundant factors engaged in it. In this paper the a...

In this study, we address the problem of medical diagnosis by applying Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM). A distinctive feature of the FCM is its ability to simulate the development of the disease in time. By this simulation, it is possible to predict the severity of the disease by having future knowledge on current medical investigations. For the first time in this paper, we construct an FCM-based cla...

In this paper, we present an adaptive control framework, which study combines control theory with fuzzy cognitive map theory. The proposed framework utilizes the feature and the inference mechanism of FCM. The causal relationship of variables is constructed by online learning, the values of control variables are given by the inference of FCM model, and the control variables are used to adjust t...

Suicide has become a significantly prominent issue because high frequencies of occurrences make it one of the top three causes of death for young people in the United States. To prevent suicide attempts, it is important to identify suicidal tendencies in the behavior, speech, or writing of an individual as early as possible. This paper demonstrates one technique of analyzing written material to...

Risk management is an important area in the field of Software Engineering. In software development industry there are many types of risks which can leads to project failure. From these risks functionality risk is one that needs to be focus for software development industry. Due to this risk many problems can arise. If effects of this risk are not estimated it would pose problems for the success...
