Renewable energy technology selection, which has a strategic importance for many countries and companies, is one of the most challenging decisions due to the complex features and large number of alternatives. Of all renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaic (PV) energy has attracted more attention as the greatest promising option for industrial application. This paper proposes an extension o...

We propose a reformulation of the problem of making a decision with multiple objectives in terms of fuzzy scores and their consistent defuzzification, with respect to the logical point of view taken into account. The objectives are seen as subsets (or events) of a universal set U and the degree to which an alternative Ai satisfies the objective Oj is a conditional fuzzy event Ai|Oj , represente...

In the recent decade, different researchers have performed hardware implementation for applications covering various areas of experts. this research paper, a novel analog design and steps fuzzy systems with current differencing buffered amplifier (CDBA) are proposed compact structure that can be used in many signal processing applications. The circuits capable wide input range, simple structure...

A novel technique of designing application specific defuzzification strategies with neural learning is presented. The proposed neural architecture considered as a universal defuzzification approximator is validated by showing the convergence when approximating several existing defuzzification strategies. The method is successfully tested with fuzzy controlled reverse driving of a model truck. T...

The design of automatic systems dedicated to satellite image classification has received considerable attention. However, the current systems still cannot compare with human photo-interpreters. A promising approach consists in integrating structural knowledge into the classification process, i.e., using information about the shape of and the spatial relations between the regions that are to be ...

Nowadays, determining faults (or critical situations) in nonstationary environment is a challenging task in complex systems such as Nuclear center, or multi-collaboration such as crisis management. A discrete event system or a fuzzy discrete event system approach with a fuzzy role-base may resolve the ambiguity in a fault diagnosis problem especially in the case of multiple faults (or multiple ...

The development of distributed real time system (DRTS) has lead to there use in several applications including information processing, fluid flow, weather modeling, database systems, real-time high-speed simulation of dynamical systems, and image processing. Reliability analysis of these processing elements and communication links is one of the important parameter to get the system efficiency. ...

 Normally, the real-world inventory control problems are imprecisely defined and human interventions are often required to solve these decision-making problems. In this paper, a realistic inventory model with imprecise inventory costs have been formulated for deteriorating items under trade credit policy within the economic production quantity (EPQ) framework. We assume that the supplier would...

According to the Internet World Stats (2010), the growth rate of internet usage in the world is 444.8 % from 2000 to 2010. Since the number of internet users is rapidly increasing with each passed year, e-learning is often identified with web-based learning. The institutions, which deliver e-learning service via the use of computer and internet, are responsible to choose the most suitable e-lea...
