This paper describes a method for formal compression of fuzzy systems. This method compresses a fuzzy system with an arbitrarily large number of rules into a smaller fuzzy system by removing the redundancy in the fuzzy rule base. As a result of this compression, the number of on-line operations during the fuzzy inference process is significantly reduced without compromising the solution. This r...

This paper uses a methodology based in fuzzy sets theory in order to describe the interaction between the prey, Aphis glycines (Hemiptera: Aphididae) the soybean aphid, and its predator, Orius insidiosus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae). Economic thresholds were already developed for this pest. The aim of this investigation was to develop a simple and specific methodology by fuzzy rule-based system to...

In this paper, a hybrid Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) system for function approximation is presented. The proposed FNN can handle numeric and fuzzy inputs simultaneously. The numeric inputs are fuzzified by input nodes upon presentation to the network while the Fuzzy rule based knowledge is translated directly into network architecture. The connections between input to hidden nodes represent rule ...

The paper presents fuzzy navigation system for a mobile robot. This navigation is based on fuzzy inference machine that performs path planning and obstacle avoidance in arbitrary complex environments. The system is built as two-level hierarchical system. On the higher level there is a controlling PC that is connected with robot control unit through duplex, wireless communication channel. A sens...

The security of a system is an important issue due to the latest advancements in information technology. Intrusion Detection Systems are used to identify the attacks and malicious activities in the computer systems. This paper discusses a new host based intrusion detection system for detecting changes in hardware profile using fuzzy inference rule. The proposed system is able to analyze and det...

Nowadays because of the complicated nature of making decision in stock market and making real-time strategy for buying and selling stock via portfolio selection and maintenance, many research papers has involved stock price prediction issue. Low accuracy resulted by models may increase trade cost such as commission cost in more sequenced buy and sell signals because of insignificant alarms and ...

The database of a rule-based systemmay contain imprecisionswhich appear in the description of the rules given by the expert. Because such an inference can not be made by the methods which use classical two valued logic or many valued logic, Zadeh in (Zadeh, 1975) and Mamdani in (Mamdani, 1977) suggested an inference rule called "compositional rule of inference". Using this inference rule, sever...

This paper presents an approach to similarity based approximate reasoning that elucidates the connection between similarity and existing approaches to inference in approximate reasoning methodology. A set of axioms is proposed to get a reasonable measure of similarity between two fuzzy sets. The similarity between the fact(s) and the antecedent of a rule is used to modify the relation between t...
