Some properties, such as, reduction and transformation of modalities, are discussed. Based on the definitions and properties depicted above, clauses set and standard clauses set are proposed. It is proved that for every clauses set there is a standard clauses set which is logically equal to it. This paper defines /spl lambda/-unsatisfiable and /spl lambda/-reduced set of standard clauses set, and proves that standard clauses set is /spl lambda/-unsatisfiable if and only if its /spl lambda/-reduced set is unsatisfiable. Therefore, any clauses set is /spl lambda/-unsatisfiable if and only if the /spl lambda/-reduced set of its standard clauses set is unsatisfiable. Based on the author's previous works, /spl lambda/-reduced set is unsatisfiable if and only if the empty clause can be derived from its resolvable form. Then we complete /spl lambda/-resolution on an operator fuzzy modal logic system.","PeriodicalId":197019,"journal":{"name":"Soft Computing in Intelligent Systems and Information Processing.

Windows NT has been growing into the data server environment and is a strong contender for decision support system applications with its open and cost-effective architecture. So ORACLE running under Windows NT was used in this report.

The model output is obtained by summarizing the production of the importance degree and the fuzzy inference result of each module. The proposed model needs both very few rules and parameters and the rules can be designed much easier. Moreover, the role of each input item can be strengthened or weakened by changing its importance degree according to experts' intuitive experiences. The proposed model is applied to typical first order lag systems and second order lag systems to confirm the improvement in control performance compared with the conventional model.","PeriodicalId":197019,"journal":{"name":"Soft Computing in Intelligent Systems and Information Processing.

Unfortunately, most real-world problems have to deal with such imperfect data. This paper presents a new model for fuzzy classification by integrating fuzzy classifiers with decision trees. In this approach, a fuzzy classification tree is constructed from the training data set. Instead of defining a specific class for a given instance, the proposed fuzzy classification scheme computes its degree of possibility for each class. The performance of the system is evaluated by empirically compared with a standard decision tree classifier C4.5 on several benchmark data sets from the UCI machine learning repository.","PeriodicalId":197019,"journal":{"name":"Soft Computing in Intelligent Systems and Information Processing.

The descriptions and judgements on weapon systems are usually linguistic and fuzzy. We use the triangular fuzzy number 1/spl tilde/, 3/spl tilde/, 5/spl tilde/, 7/spl tilde/, and 9/spl tilde/ to indicate the relative strength of the elements in the judgement matrix, its elements use a comparison of the performance scores. Our method does not require the subjective weight vector with the corresponding criteria. It utilizes catastrophe series to evaluate multi-goal decision making problems, including cusp, swallowtail and butterfly catastrophe models. However, it is subject to criteria /spl les/4 for decision making problems. Therefore, we derive an extension formula for decision making problems with 5 criteria, which is a wigwam catastrophe model. The catastrophe series method is used in a multiple attribute decision making problem in a conflict environment (i.e., all criteria have different degrees of importance). A fuzzy decision problem is solved and an example of weapon system selection is used to illustrate our method and compare it with other methods.","PeriodicalId":197019,"journal":{"name":"Soft Computing in Intelligent Systems and Information Processing.

Based on such a formal framework, we have developed a systematic reasoning scheme for reasoning about the positive/negative impacts of design strategies on requirements. The framework can reduce the efforts in identifying requirement and design conflicts and assist the software engineers in evaluating design alternatives more effectively.","PeriodicalId":197019,"journal":{"name":"Soft Computing in Intelligent Systems and Information Processing.
