accurate analysis and interpolation of heavy metals, especially arsenic concentrationin ground watercan play a significant role in planning and continuous monitoring of water resources. the analysis may also prevent human health issues.the purpose of this paper was to evaluate newly published sugeno type fuzzy inference system as an interpolation method for estimating the amount of arsenic in k...

transport route planning is one of the most important and frequent activities in supply chain management. the design of information systems for route planning in real contexts faces two relevant challenges: the complexity of the planning and the lack of complete and precise information. the purpose of this paper is to nd methods for the development of transport route planning in uncertainty dec...

The escalating construction industry has led to a drastic increase in the dimension stone demand in the construction, mining and industry sectors. Assessment and investigation of mining projects and stone processing plants such as sawing machines is necessary to manage and respond to the sawing performance; hence, the soft computing techniques were considered as a challenging task due to stocha...

Soft Computing techniques play an important role for decision in applications with imprecise and uncertain knowledge. The application of soft computing disciplines is rapidly emerging for the diagnosis and prognosis in medical applications. Between various soft computing techniques, fuzzy expert system takes advantage of fuzzy set theory to provide computing with uncertain words. In a fuzzy exp...

This paper is directed to the question of how to model and design an efficient tool for the intelligent mapping which is based on both dynamic and efficient storage of data and soft computing. The former is performed by our method that learns how to store, search and delete the data. After pointing out the limitation of the crisp evaluation of the distance between two points, we argue in favor ...

in the present study, five modeling approaches of ra, mlp, mnn, gff, and canfis were applied so as to estimate the radial overcut values in electrochemical drilling process. for these models, four input variables, namely electrolyte concentration, voltage, initial machining gap, and tool feed rate, were selected. the developed models were evaluated in terms of their prediction capability with m...

car-following models, as the most popular microscopic traffic flow modeling, is increasingly being used by transportation experts to evaluate new intelligent transportation system (its) applications. a number of factors including individual differences of age, gender, and risk-taking behavior, have been found to influence car-following behavior. this paper presents a novel idea to calculate the...
