The novelty of this approach is that it is based on spatial data mining, in particular on spatial association rules. A spatial association rule is a rule indicating certain association relationships among of a set of spatial and possibly some non-spatial predicates. Prior to the generation of the association rules, the source maps are represented in a common vector structure. Spatial hierarchies are defined to determine the characteristics of the features belonging to distinct classes. A distance restriction to limit the search space is specified as a part of the user query. Structure, levels of abstraction and reduction of the space guarantee the use of only the necessary data to answer the user query. A characterization of the uncertainty in the fused map is given as the measure of correction of the framework.","PeriodicalId":348314,"journal":{"name":"2002 Annual Meeting of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society Proceedings.

We discuss the use of FuzzyCLIPS and neuro-fuzzy term rewriting to define the network model in the distribution management system (DMS) for the Indonesian State Power system (PLN). Although, DMS is currently implemented by a mixed CLIPS/C++ system, the rules defining the behavior of the system are developed using the framework of object-oriented term-rewriting (OOTR) to guarantee the asynchronous characteristics of the program's execution. Another advantage of using OOTR is that we describe both the power propagation in the network and the alarm conditions, which have to be monitored in a uniform fashion. We show how implementing a fuzzy solution will not only provide a more intuitive approach to the propagation problem, but also a more accurate solution.","PeriodicalId":348314,"journal":{"name":"2002 Annual Meeting of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society Proceedings.

For conceptual matching, we use conceptual fuzzy sets (CFSs) based on radial basis function (RBF) networks. In a CFS, the meaning of a concept is represented by the distribution of the activation values of the other concepts. To expand input keywords the propagation of activation values is carried out recursively. The proposed system recommends users paths to appropriate categories. We use 3D user interface to navigate users.","PeriodicalId":348314,"journal":{"name":"2002 Annual Meeting of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society Proceedings.

Rules explosion is a problem of concern, as conventional mining algorithms often produce too many rules for decision makers to digest. This paper discusses how to mine interesting rules with the antecedent constraint being positively associated with the consequent. Notions of simple association rules (SAR), interestingness measures and antecedent constraints are incorporated in the process of interesting rules discovery. The entire set of interesting rules can be derived from the simple rules without any information loss, and the proposed SAR-based mining algorithm performs better than conventional methods by reducing the number of candidate rules.","PeriodicalId":348314,"journal":{"name":"2002 Annual Meeting of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society Proceedings.
