The term approximate reasoning (AR) refers to methods and methodologies that enable reasoning with imprecise inputs to obtain meaningful outputs. AR schemes involving fuzzy sets are one of the best known applications of fuzzy logic in the wider sense. Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) have many degrees of freedom, viz., the underlying fuzzy partition of the input and output spaces, the fuzzy logic ...

Fair results give motivation and encouragement to the students. So reforms in education are must not only in curriculum development but also in students' performance assessment. Proposed method is useful when questions in the examination are of subjective or objective type and total time duration is given to attempt all questions rather than individual question. This method considers impor...

Power systems are subjected to small–signal oscillations that can be caused by sudden change in the value of large loads. To avoid the dangers of these oscillations, the Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) are used. When the PSSs can not be effective enough, installation of the Thyristor–based compensators to increase the oscillations damping is a suitable method. In this paper, a Static Synchronou...

An adaptive watermarking algorithm is presented which exploits a biorthogonal wavelets-based human visual system (HVS) and a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) to protect the copyright of images in learning object repositories. Specifically, the HVS relies on the linear-phase property of biorthogonal wavelet filters (symmetric wavelets) in order to efficiently extract the masking information, while t...

In this paper, a differential protection schemes using fuzzy inference system (FIS) for power transformer protection is presented. First we review the concept of differential protection, and illustrate the magnetizing inrush current as they belong to the causes of the protection maloperation. Then relay logic and the algorithm that uses Discreet Fourier transformer for extraction of fundamental...

The integration of different learning and adaptation techniques to overcome individual limitations and to achieve synergetic effects through the hybridization or fusion of these techniques has, in recent years, contributed to a large number of new intelligent system designs. Computational intelligence is an innovative framework for constructing intelligent hybrid architectures involving Neural ...

In this chapter, the capability of the fuzzy inference systems (FISs) to model and provide evaluations in the educational context is further explored through the merits of the intuitionistic fuzzy inference systems (IFISs). The Intuitionistic Fuzzy Logic enables the capture and expression of uncertainty and hesitancy with an IFIS model, thus it extends the fuzzy logic capabilities. In this chap...

This paper presents an intelligent interpretation of ultrasonic C-scan results for carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) panels by using fuzzy logic approach. Ultrasonic C-scan results have relatively low resolution and poor imaging quality in anisotropic composites due to the speckle noise produced by the interference of backscattered signals. In this study, fuzzy logic was implemented to acc...

(MCSs) depends on their strategic role in the multinational corporation (MNC), their age and size, and whether their products are targeted at niche or commodity markets. In particular, it is claimed that MNCs seek to invest in a particular country if its resources adopt a vertically integrated structure, if the country grants regional or global sales mandates to their subsidiaries, or if it has...

Supplier evaluation is an important problem in industrial management. An accurate evaluation can reduce the costs and increase the quality of products. There are various studies for evaluation of suppliers. However, this problem has been complicated by uncertain data and multiple criteria. In this study we develop a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) to deal with uncertain data and evaluate suppliers...
