Quality of Service (QoS) support in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) is a challenging task due to bandwidth and delay constraints, varying channel conditions, power limitations, node mobility and dynamic topology. This paper proposes an intelligent agent based ondemand (source initiated) delay aware QoS routing scheme in MANETs by using software agents that employ neuro-fuzzy logic supported by ...

Fuzzy based models have been used in many areas of research. One issue with these models is that rule bases have the potential for indiscriminant growth. Inference systems with large number of rules can be overspecified, have model comprehension issues and suffer from bad performance. In this research we investigate the use of a genetic algorithm towards the generation of a fuzzy inference syst...

Fusion of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) have attracted the growing interest of researchers in various scientific and engineering areas due to the growing need of adaptive intelligent systems to solve the real world problems. ANN learns from scratch by adjusting the interconnections between layers. FIS is a popular computing framework based on the concept of ...

Seismic hazard assessment like many other issues in seismology is a complicated problem, which is due to a variety of parameters affecting the occurrence of an earthquake. Uncertainty, which is a result of vagueness and incompleteness of the data, should be considered in a rational way. Using fuzzy method makes it possible to allow for uncertainties to be considered. Fuzzy inference system,...

In this paper, a Sequential Adaptive Fuzzy Inference System called SAFIS is developed based on the functional equivalence between a radial basis function network and a fuzzy inference system (FIS). In SAFIS, the concept of “Influence” of a fuzzy rule is introduced and using this the fuzzy rules are added or removed based on the input data received so far. If the input data do not warrant adding...

The quantification and prediction of inter-agent dependency requirements is one of the main concerns in Agent Oriented Requirements Engineering. To evaluate exertion load of an agent within resource constraints, this work provides a comparative analysis of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). ANN is widely known due to its capability of learning the...
