In this paper, subtractive clustering based fuzzy inference system approach is used for early detection of faults in the function oriented software systems. This approach has been tested with real time defect datasets of NASA software projects named as PC1 and CM1. Both the code based model and joined model (combination of the requirement and code based metrics) of the datasets are used for tra...

In this paper, a subtractive relational fuzzy c-medoids clustering approach is discussed to identify web user session clusters from weblogs, based on their browsing behavior. In this approach, the internal arrangement of data along with the density of pairwise dissimilarity values is favored over arbitrary starting estimations of medoids as done in the conventional relational fuzzy c-medoids al...

Clustering is one of the most fundamental algorithms which have got huge applications especially in the area of Neuro Fuzzy Systems, Data Analysis, Linear Vector Quantization, Bio-informatics etc. Various approaches exist for clustering of data. A few of the commonly used approaches are K-Means clustering, Fuzzy C-Means Clustering, Subtractive Clustering, etc. Clustering may involve varied uses...

Intrusion Detection System (IDS) provides additional security for the most vulnerable Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET). Use of Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) in the design of IDS is proven to be efficient in detecting routing attacks in MANETs. Clustering is a vital means in the detection process of FIS based hybrid IDS. This study describes the design of such a system to detect black hole attack in...

Many variants of fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering method are applied to crisp numbers but only a few of them are extended to non-crisp numbers, mainly due to the fact that the latter needs complicated equations and exhausting calculations. Vector form of fuzzy c-means (VFCM), proposed in this paper, simplifies the FCM clustering method applying to non-crisp (symbolic interval and fuzzy) numbers. ...
