When the ACL is injured, ACL reconstruction is often performed. In ACL reconstruction, bone tunnels of the femur and tibia are made for passing graft to the bone. It is reported that the bone tunnel is usually enlargement. The bone tunnel enlargement affects much knee function. In serious case, ACL reconstruction should be required again. Therefore evaluation of the bone tunnel is important. It has been analyzed for only calculation of volume change in time course. However, the direction of the volume change has not been considered, due to the difference of bone coordinate systems between data. This study proposes determination method of the bone coordinate system with fuzzy inference. As a result, our proposed method could determine the tibial bone coordinate system. Then, the bone tunnel trans-position was examined. A future work is to apply this method to more data, then feed back the clinical outcome.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129273313","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 scenario Soft-Computing techniques may offer new approaches with the aim of helping the participants of the project to manage their time, give priority to their activities and readjust the work to complete satisfactorily the project tasks. This work presents an automatic features extraction process with the aim of defining the elements involved in a software project.

The proposed controller can guarantee the control state to converge and uniformly bounded while maintaining all the signals involved stable.

Experimental evaluations are made of the sampling and α-planes methods, with respect to both efficiency and accuracy, showing both strategies to be efficient and good approximations.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129532360","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 both practice and literature we find that the majority of decision making methods ignore the inherent dependencies that can exist between attributes. Doing so simplifies the task at hand but at the expense of reliability and effectiveness of the entire process. If we are to trust automated trading systems, we must have full trust in the ability of the software to understand and utilize our preferences. This paper presents a method for graphically structuring dependencies among attributes and defining the resulting utility function. An example of fund selection is then given, showing how the inclusion of such dependencies is essential in performing effective decision making.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129661712","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}
