in this paper, an anomaly detection method in cluster-based mobile ad hoc networks with ad hoc on demand distance vector (aodv) routing protocol is proposed. in the method, the required features for describing the normal behavior of aodv are defined via step by step analysis of aodv and independent of any attack. in order to learn the normal behavior of aodv, a fuzzy averaging method is used fo...

The efficient use of the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operator in decision making problems depends on the choice of the order weights. Using fuzzy quantifiers is one of the most popular methods to obtain them. In this study, a new method will be introduced for determining the order weights from the quantifiers, which is especially useful in the case of unimodal quantifiers. The new method i...

The problem of averaging outcomes under several scenarios to form overall objective functions is of considerable importance in decision support under uncertainty. The fuzzy operator defined as the so-called Weighted OWA (WOWA) aggregation offers a well-suited approach to this problem. The WOWA aggregation, similar to the classical ordered weighted averaging (OWA), uses the preferential weights ...

Fuzzy logic is frequently used in computing with words (CWW). When input words to a CWW engine are modeled by interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2 FSs), the CWW engine’s output can also be an IT2 FS, e A, which needs to be mapped to a linguistic label so that it can be understood. Because each linguistic label is represented by an IT2 FS e Bi, there is a need to compare the similarity of e A and e B...

In some cases, the relationship between an object set X and an attribute set Y is set up by means of a fuzzy context sequence. A particular case of this situation appears when we want to study the evolution of an L-fuzzy context in time. In this work, we analyze these situations. First we introduce the fuzzy context sequence definition and remind the main results about OWA operators. With the a...

Multi-source information fusion usually deals with redundant sources; the goal is to aggregate decisions, or evidence which supports one or another class. Many frameworks are then available: OWA, fuzzy integrals, etc. In this paper we are interested in managing complementary information sources. The integration is done using a fuzzy rule base. The rules are generated using a fuzzy decision tree...

Feature reduction is one kind of pattern recognition and decision making technique, which can be achieved by using Fuzzy Weighted Gaussian Mixture Model (FWGMM) based on the Gaussian Mixture Model. This model helps to find relevant features by using Fuzzy ordered weighted average, which leads to determine the similarity of the density mixture. The salient feature of this approach is to find the...

The purpose of this paper is to present a classiication method of alternatives for multiple preference ordering criteria based on the concept of fuzzy majority. The fuzzy majority is represented by a fuzzy quantiier, and applied in the aggregation by means of an OWA operator whose weights are calculated by the fuzzy quantiier. For every preference ordering criterion we derive a preference order...

Owing to rapidly growing global competition, enterprises are increasingly focusing on their core competencies. The focal company faces the challenge of creating alliances with more suppliers to create outsourcing synergy and provide heterogeneous products for customers. This study proposes a fuzzy multiple attribute decision making (FMADM) method based on the fuzzy linguistic quantifier. An att...

Abstract—Considering its need to trade-off multiple criteria exhibiting vagueness and imprecision, supplier selection is an important multi-criteria decision making problem. Vague and imprecise judgments inherent in numerous features of supplier selection call for using linguistic assessments rather than exact numerical values. In this paper, a novel fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making a...
