The paper presents a study upon the possibility to use adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference method (ANFIS) in the identification of distributed parameter systems, implementing a distributed sensor network in the system. Some main properties of different identification methods are presented with possible application. The fuzzy systems, implemented using rule bases, fuzzy values, membership fun...

today air conditioning systems have been considered by all people as one of welfarerequirements in buildings and closed environments. since a considerable part of energy lossoccurs in ordinary modern systems, new strategies and solutions are developed in the field inorder to save amount of energy consumption and observe environmental considerations. fuzzycontrol is one of these methods which pr...

This paper considers the identification and fuzzy controller design for nonlinear uncertain systems in presence of unknown input time-delay. Firstly, a time-delay Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) type fuzzy neural system (TDFN) is proposed to identify a class of nonlinear input time-delay systems. The input-output signals of nonlinear systems are used to identify the system dynamics and unknown time-de...

Professor Ebrahim (Abe) Mamdani died on January 22, 2010. He was born in Tanzania in June 1942 and educated in India, he went to UK in 1966. After obtaining his PhD at Queen Mary College, University of London, he joined its Electrical Engineering Department, where he developed the first fuzzy controller. In the mid-eighties he moved to Imperial College, where he was now an Emeritus Professor. I...

Sustainable decision-making involves political decisions at the local, regional, or national levels, which aim at a balanced development of socio–environmental systems. A fundamental question in sustainable decision-making is that of defining and measuring sustainable development. Many methods have been proposed to assess sustainability. Recently, a model has been developed, called Sustainabili...

A method to predict from a data stream of real estate sales transactions based on ensembles of genetic fuzzy systems was proposed. The approach consists in incremental expanding an ensemble by models built over successive chunks of a data stream. The predicted prices of residential premises computed by aged component models for current data are updated according to a trend function reflecting t...

This paper is about mathematical foundational aspects of fuzzy theory for engineers who wish to take a serious look at fuzzy theory for significant applications. As a tool for modeling and reasoning, fuzzy theory has its own domain of applicability. We provide firm foundations for implementing fuzzy concepts and fuzzy rules, specify the domains where fuzzy theory is appropriate, show firm conne...

The prediction of rock mass behavior is an important task in many engineering projects, as the behavior of rock masses can be controlled by the presence of discontinuities. Being able to map the structure of a rock mass is crucial to understanding its potential behavior. This understanding can positively impact the safety and efficiency of an engineering project. In this research, rock masses w...
