These algorithms can be used to predict the ability of available computational nodes to successfully handle computational tasks generated from vehicular applications. Several online data stream classification algorithms have been evaluated based on synthetic datasets generated from simulated vehicular edge computing environments. In addition, a multi-criteria decision analysis technique was utilized to rank the different algorithms based on their performance metrics. The evaluation results demonstrate that the considered algorithms can handle online classification operations with various trade-offs and dominance relations with respect to their obtained performance. In addition, the utilized multi-criteria decision analysis technique can efficiently rank various algorithms and identify the most appropriate algorithms to augment workload orchestration. Furthermore, the evaluation results show that the leveraging bagging algorithm, with an extremely fast decision tree base estimator, is able to maintain marked online classification performance and persistent competitive ranking among its counterparts for all datasets. Hence, it can be considered a promising choice to reinforce workload orchestration in vehicular edge computing environments.","PeriodicalId":354250,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Fuzzy Log. Intell.

In CSMA/CA, each station maintains a contention window by adjusting its size according to the perceived contention level. By making a station autonomously choose a waiting time randomly, using its current contention window size, CSMA/CA resolves the channel contention problem among a set of stations in a distributed manner. However, because the contention window size is limited, the packet collision probability increases sharply as the number of stations, with data to send, increases. To resolve this problem, we propose a novel medium access control method using a minority game. In the proposed method, each station learns the current contention level in a distributed manner and decides whether to send a packet using the acquired knowledge to decrease its packet collision probability. Through simulation studies, we show that compared with CSMA/CA and random selection methods, the proposed method decreases both the packet collision probability and the time interval between successful packet transmissions.","PeriodicalId":354250,"journal":{"name":"Int.

A model was developed, and the compressive strength was predicted using the ANFIS (with the subtractive clustering method of the fuzzy inference system) by MATLAB programming. In the present study, two ANFIS models were considered: ANFIS models-1 and -2. ANFIS model-1 was developed to predict the 3-day compressive strength, whereas ANFIS model-2 predicts the 28-day compressive strength by considering the 3-day compressive strength data obtained using ANFIS model-1. It was observed that the errors in the 3and 28-day compressive strengths were 6.33%, and 17.07%, respectively. Furthermore, experiments were performed for selective mixes—M40, M50, and M60—to verify the compressive strength obtained using the ANFIS model. The model results were verified against the experimental ones based on the mixes selected from the model, and the results were found to agree with the predicted ones, with a maximum deviation of 18%. Furthermore, an ANN model was developed to predict the compressive strength to verify the accuracy of the ANFIS model. The results predicted by the ANFIS and the ANN were compared with the original results available in the literature. A significant deviation was found between the ANN model results and the original results, however, the ANN model results presented the same trend as the original results. It was concluded that the ANFIS model results were highly consistent with the original results.","PeriodicalId":354250,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Fuzzy Log. Intell.

It was also shown that Pawlak’s rough set model can be viewed as a special case of soft rough sets. There are two problems with this model in using this concept in real-life applications. The first problem is that some soft rough sets are not contained in their upper approximations, which contradicts Pawlak’s thoughts. The second problem is that the boundary region of any considered set, in the soft rough set model, must be decreased to make it possible to take a true decision of any application problem. In this study, the soft rough set model is modified to solve these problems. The basic properties of the modified approximations are introduced and supported with propositions and illustrative examples. Modified concepts can be viewed as a general mathematical model for qualitative and quantitative real-life problems. A comparison between the suggested approach to soft rough sets and the traditional soft rough set model is provided.","PeriodicalId":354250,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Fuzzy Log. Intell.

Existing diagnostic systems are often complex and exhibit limited performance on liver diseases, particularly the liver cancer. This paper presents a fuzzy decision support system for helping students diagnose some human liver diseases in educational medical institutions. The proposed system aims to improve real medical diagnosis processes. The approach has three basic steps: 1) symptoms-based diagnosis, 2) liver function-based diagnosis, and 3) image processingbased diagnosis. The proposed system employs two artificial intelligence techniques: fuzzy logic and image processing. The first is used for diagnosing liver diseases based on the liver function tests, while the second is used for diagnosing liver diseases such as the liver cancer, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver fibrosis, and fatty liver. The proposed system combines two methods: the Mamdani inference and simulation method used in the MATLAB17 fuzzy logic toolbox, and the gray level co-occurrence matrix, for extracting the features of the secondorder statistical texture of images acquired using computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound, for various liver diseases. Our results reveal a very good agreement between expert-made and system-made diagnoses, suggesting high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":354250,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Fuzzy Log. Intell.
