The Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP) is generally used for solving multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problems by considering the pairwise comparison between criteria/sub-criteria, and inner/outer dependencies among criteria. Linguistic expressions are used for experts’ judgements, and these judgements are imprecise and vague. Hence, incorporating fuzziness with multi-criteria decision ma...

Predictive maintenance is becoming more and more important for the commercial vehicle manufactures, as focus shifts from productto service-based operation. The idea is to provide a dynamic maintenance schedule, fulfilling specific needs of individual vehicles. Luckily, the same shift of focus, as well as technological advancements in the telecommunication area, make long-term data collection mo...

Triadic concept analysis (TCA) is an extension of formal concept analysis (dyadic case) which takes into account modi (e.g. time instances, conditions, etc.) in addition to objects and attributes. Thus instead of 2-dimensional binary tables TCA concerns with 3-dimensional binary tables. In our previous work we generalized TCA to work with grades instead of binary data; in the present paper we s...

With the growth of urban road traffic volume and the increase of road network density, correlation between adjacent road intersections is becoming more and more obvious. An intersection traffic signal adjustment tends to affect the smooth traffic flow of a number of adjacent intersections. Its congestion may gradually spread to a few blocks and regions all around the intersection. Therefore, in...

The study area is located ~50 km in the north of Tehran capital city, Iran, and is a part of central Alborz Mountain. The intrusive bodies aged post Eocene have intruded in the Eocene volcanic units causing hydrothermal alterations in these units. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images were used to map hydrothermal alteration zones. The propylitic, phyllic...

Computational intelligence paradigm covers several approaches for technical problems solving in an intelligence manner, such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic systems, evolutionary computation, etc. Each approach provides engineers and researchers with the smart and powerful tools to handle various real-life concerns. Even more powerful tools were designed at the joint of different com...

This work focuses on the formalization of a Fuzzy Cognitive Map based decision support system using fuzzy If-Then rules (extracted from data) accompanied with the available experts’ knowledge. The proposed approach is applied to build a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) grading tool, an advanced FCM-based model used for prediction. The FCM is a modeling methodology based on exploiting knowledge and exp...
