Regardless of the application domain, the main idea is to convert a linguistic control scenario into an automatic control strategy. The expert's knowledge is the backbone of this linguistic control strategy. FLCs have their most successful implementations where the process under control is too complex for analysis by conventional quantitative methods and, therefore, conventional controllers face serious shortcomings. This paper proposes a “hybrid” implementation of FLCs and conventional PID controllers that can be helpful in some applications. The proposed method is applied to a 2 degree of freedom robot arm with promising results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100668,"journal":{"name":"Information Sciences - Applications","volume":"2 2","pages":"Pages 69-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/1069-0115(94)90012-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83051200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The routing and siting of hazardous waste operations is governed as much by the public's perception of acceptable cost and risk as by any other factor. These perceptions are integrated into the model through the use of fuzzy sets that represent the public's degree of acceptance toward unique policy options. Perceived risk is used to help determine a policy's acceptability. Model solutions define a trade-off relationship between cost, risk, and the perception that the policy is acceptable. Initially, linear fuzzy membership functions for acceptable cost and risk are used to demonstrate the efficacy of this approach. Following the linear formulation, more realistic and computationally complex nonlinear membership functions are incorporated into the model. To illustrate the models, a case study that considers the current effort by North Carolina to site a hazardous waste incinerator is presented.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100668,"journal":{"name":"Information Sciences - Applications","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/1069-0115(94)90002-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136853339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also has wide practical applications in many fields. An attribute grammar approach to shape recognition combines both advantages of syntactic and statistical methods and makes shape recognition more accurate and efficient. However, the time complexity of a sequential shape recognition algorithm using attribute grammar is <em>O</em>(<em>n</em><sup>3</sup>) where <em>n</em> is the length of an input string. When the problem size is very large, it needs much more computing time; therefore, a high-speed parallel shape recognition algorithm is necessary to meet the demands of some real-time applications. This paper presents a parallel shape recognition algorithm, and also discusses the algorithm partition problem as well as its implementation on a fixed-size VLSI architecture. The proposed algorithm has time complexity <em>O</em>(<em>n</em><sup>3</sup>/<em>k</em><sup>2</sup>) if using <em>k</em> × <em>k</em> processing elements. When <em>k</em> = <em>n</em>, its time complexity is <em>O</em>(<em>n</em>). The experiment has been conducted to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. The correctnes of the algorithm partition and the behavior of proposed VLSI architecture have also been proved through the experiment. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm and the VLSI architecture could be very useful to imaging processing, pattern recognition, and related areas, especially for real-time applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100668,"journal":{"name":"Information Sciences - Applications","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 35-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/1069-0115(94)90004-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136853338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
