Prior to the age of powerful digital computers and numerical methods for complex design problems, dimensional analysis was critical to the development of large scale complex dynamic physical systems. While fuzzy mathematics provides the tools for dealing with fuzzy systems, complexity of problem formulation and computation costs still seriously limit analysis of large scale \"people-in-the-loop\" fuzzy systems. Use of dimensional analysis should improve the quality, lower costs and reduce the time to analyze complex fuzzy systems.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123615793","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 paper highlights recent work in applying fuzzy set theory to the two main processes in object recognition: grouping and matching. Fuzzy sets are a natural model for both grouping and matching, using membership values to represent the degree to which groups of image features satisfy a grouping relationship, as well as the degree to which a group of image features matches an object model. This methodology can be extended to hierarchical grouping and matching as well. Finally, we describe how fuzzy reasoning can enhance an existing sophisticated object recognition system.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124780548","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}

In this research we present a new approach for ordering two fuzzy numbers and show some practical advantages of it over other methods. We also utilize the suggested approach to introduce two techniques to solve the FLP problem. In the first technique, we convert the fuzzy linear program into a crisp bicriteria linear program. In this new model the fuzzy objective function is replaced by two crisp objectives to be optimized, and each fuzzy constraint is replaced by two or three crisp constraints depending on the level of certainty /spl alpha/-whether /spl alpha/ has or has not been assigned. In the second technique we find the possibility distribution of the objective function over all possible feasible decisions directly.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126201357","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 evaluation of bidding strategies usually involves a complex decision-making process since subjective judgment plays a major role in effecting the decision process. The process for assessing and evaluating contractors bidding strategies is dependent in most projects on subjective expertise judgment based on a certain number of criteria elements. The importance and the level of contribution of each criteria element can be estimated based on experience and judgment of qualified cost engineers. In this paper, a computerized model for evaluating the reasons for failure in bidding strategies is presented. The model is based on a Fuzzy-Probabilistic Deductive Tree Analysis Approach (FPDTA). This model involves identifying a possible condition of the bidding strategy system and determining the various events and combination of the criteria that contribute to the occurrence of that condition.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128791647","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}

In this paper, a discussion on various techniques in teaching uncertainty analysis and its applications to engineering decision-making are presented.

In this research, we applied GA to a 3-span continuous girder composed of 33 panels, and improved the GA operators. As a result were able to obtain a practical solution.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127442344","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}

One of the cues for such labeling is the spatial relationships exhibited among the regions. This is usually coupled with the interpreter's understanding and expectations of scene content. For example, it is normally the case that, in a natural outdoor scene, the sky should be above the trees and that vehicles should be on a road. Context plays a very important role in the interpretation of an image. This determination of spatial relations has been a difficult task to automate. There have been several attempts at defining spatial relationships between regions in a digital image, most recently, with the use of fuzzy set theory. In this paper, we examine three methods for defining spatial relations to gain insight into this complex situation.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121864050","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}
