This paper presents the simulation results for the fuzzy control of slow processes with or without dead time. Many results obtained by a lot of crisp and fuzzy control techniques for the error gain and (or) variation error in connection with the transient performances (settling time, rise time, overshoot etc.) are reported in the specialty literature. The fuzzy control techniques for the error ...

We propose a new admission control algorithm for GPRS/EGPRS cellular data networks, based on fuzzy inference. The admission decision is based on system parameters like the network load and users precedence, being expressed in the form of fuzzy if-then rules. Simulation results are presented for the fuzzy admission algorithm, using our model for a GPRS/EGPRS cell and a simplified simulation scen...

this research presents a dynamic mathematical system for modeling and simulating the quality management process in construction projects. through sets of cause and effect feedback loops, all factors that internally and externally affect the quality management process are addressed. the proposed system integrates fuzzy logic with system dynamics simulation scheme to consider the uncertainties as...

This work aims to improve simulation performance by introducing fuzzy logic in the discrete event simulation. This paper attempts to develop a new approach to assess the duration of dynamical systems, especially the natural processes. To do, we have used the fuzzy logic theory and particularly the fuzzy inference system combined to the discrete event simulation (DEVS). The process simulation is...

Recently, two types of simulations (forward and backward simulations) and four types of bisimulations (forward, backward, forward-backward, andbackward-forwardbisimulations) between fuzzyautomatahavebeen introduced. If there is at least one simulation/bisimulation of some of these types between the given fuzzy automata, it has been proved that there is the greatest simulation/bisimulation of th...

short term prediction of traffic flow is one of the most essential elements of all proactive traffic control systems. although various methodologies have been applied to forecast traffic parameters, several researchers have showed that compared with the individual methods, hybrid methods provide more accurate results . these results made the hybrid tools and approaches a more common method for ...

in this paper, the capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands (clrp-fd) is considered. the clrp-fd is composed of two well-known problems: facility location problem and vehicle routing problem. the problem has many real-life applications of which some have been addressed in the literature such as management of hazardous wastes and food and drink distribution. in clrp-fd, a set of c...

in this paper, we consider portfolio selection problem in which security returns are regarded as fuzzy variables rather than random variables. we first introduce a concept of absolute deviation for fuzzy variables and prove some useful properties, which imply that absolute deviation may be used to measure risk well. then we propose two mean-absolute deviation models by defining risk as abs...

the fuzzy linear regression model with fuzzy input-output data andcrisp coefficients is studied in this paper. a linear programmingmodel based on goal programming is proposed to calculate theregression coefficients. in contrast with most of the previous works, theproposed model takes into account the centers of fuzzy data as animportant feature as well as their spreads in the procedure ofconstr...

In this paper we propose an alternative use of commercial object-oriented discrete-event simulators. We attempt to bridge the intrinsic inaccuracy of simulators in modelling real systems affected by fuzziness. The strategy adopted, called pseudo-fuzzy discrete event simulation, models fuzziness through a set of several classic simulation runs to trace an output fuzzy performance function. The i...
