Methods have been developed to cluster records in a data set that are of only qualitative or quantitative data. Data sets exist that contain a mix of qualitative (nominal and ordinal) and quantitative (discrete and continuous) data. Clustering records of mixed kinds of data is a difficult problem. A metric to measure the similarity between records of mixed data types is needed. Once a clustering is found, we do not know how to best evaluate the quality of the clustering when there is a mixture of data varieties.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

A coordinating device that governs energy flow in the powertrain is proposed based on the idea that driving environment (traffic situation) as well as the vehicle's mode of operation and the style of driver behavior directly affect fuel usage and pollutant emissions. For the realization of driving situation awareness, identification processes for roadway type is performed by extracting the driving information from the (past) driving data. Expert knowledge that characterizes the relationship between the driving situation and fuel consumption and emissions is implemented in the fuzzy torque distributor that performs intelligent decisionmaking for the torque distribution task. Charge sustenance operation is performed in the State-of-Charge (SOC) compensator to keep the level of the state of charge within prescribed levels. The mission of the energy management system, so called Intelligent Energy Management Agent (IEMA), is to enable the vehicle to be driven in an economically and environmentally friendly way while satisfying the driver's performance demand. Simulation work is carried out for the validation of proposed IEMA, and the results reveal its viability for energy management of a parallel hybrid vehicle.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

The core of the learning algorithm uses equality index as the performance measure to be optimized. Equality index is especially important because its properties reflect the fuzzy set-based structure of the neural network and nature of learning. Equality indexes are strongly tied with the properties of the fuzzy set theory and logic-based techniques. The neural network recurrent topology is built with fuzzy neuron units and performs neural processing consistent with fuzzy system methodology. Therefore neural processing and learning are fully embodied within fuzzy set theory. The performance recurrent neurofuzzy network is verified via examples of nonlinear systems modeling. Computational experiments show that the recurrent fuzzy neural models developed are simpler and that learning is faster than both, static neural and neural fuzzy networks and alternative recurrent fuzzy neural networks.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

This paper presents a philosophical study on fuzzy sets and fuzzy applications and aims towards a deeper understanding about them. Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy can be used to illustrate fuzzy sets. Relating to Wittgenstein's approach, some interesting studies on 'vagueness' appeared before the genesis of fuzzy sets in 1965. We introduce a simple meaning articulation paradigm (MAP) of human meaning processing and apply it to fuzzy applications. The MAP applied to two case studies on fuzzy optimization and on a fuzzy Web query shows that some problems exist in traditional approaches.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

In this ecosystem, there co-exist plants and insects according to specific reproduction rules. In general, the inhabiting area of each species is localized owing to geographical, climatic, and ecological factors. This indicates the population density of each species in one area is different from another according to local environmental conditions. In this study. multiple robots are introduced in order to maintain the ecosystem. Each robot takes actions based on multi-objective behavior coordination integrating several action outputs. However, the robot must select its suitable area in order to adapt to the current state of the quasi-ecosystem that might change dynamically. In this paper, we discuss target selection for insect removing and plant reaping behaviors through several computer simulations in a dynamically changing environment.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

A set of type-2 fuzzy rules is used to represent the knowledge for monitoring the process. In the type-2 fuzzy rules, the fractal dimension is used as a linguistic variable to help in recognizing specific patterns in the measured data. The fuzzy-fractal approach has been applied before in problems of financial time series prediction and for other types of problems, but now it is proposed to the monitoring of plants using type-2 fuzzy logic. We also compare the results of the type-2 fuzzy logic approach with the results of using only a traditional type-1 approach.
