The aim of this paper is to give an alternative definition of the spectrum which does not suffer under this deficit — i.e. coincides with the standard situation in the commutative setting. For this purpose we recall some properties of balanced and bisymmetric quantales, introduce a definition of the spectrum of a C∗-algebra working for the general case and develop subsequently its topological representation.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125105823","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}

As such, there have been different proposals made in the literature that provide a range of means to construct and aggregate classifier ensembles. However, the resulting systems may contain unreliable members with false or biased judgements in the ensemble. The removal of unreliable members is necessary to optimise the overall performance of such systems. Smaller ensembles involving reduced ensemble members also helps relax the requirement of computational memory, thereby strengthening the system's run-time efficiency. To differentiate the potential contributions of different ensemble members while reducing the adverse impact of any unreliable judgement upon the system, a nearest neighbour-based reliability measure is incorporated into the process of classifier ensemble selection. In particular, reliabilities of selected ensemble members are perceived as a stress function, from which argument-dependent weights are heuristically generated for final aggregated decision. Experimental investigations are carried out, demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed approach, where fuzzy classifiers are utilised as base members of the emerging ensemble.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115567648","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}

A large amount of student behaviour data has been gathered literately for different processing purposes. Yet, considerable questions are still remaining due to the huge data volume, diversification and uncertainty. In this work, we implement a big-data analytical framework for online behaviour modelling, particularly taking streaming data of students' online activity from their laptop usage as an illustrative example. The proposed framework covers details from accessing streaming records to storing heterogeneous data. Furthermore, the work also demonstrates the use of a TF-IDF based feature generation and fuzzy representation strategy to discover critical patterns via this behaviour data. The accuracy of the modelling work is evaluated using students' score on a national-wide test. Experimental results show that the employed TF-IDF feature is much stabler than other traditional features, thereby achieving a better modelling performance. In summary, the simulation result demonstrates the flexibility and applicability of the proposed framework for processing complex behaviour data, and revealing important patterns for decision making.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"272 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115599342","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 study, an intelligent systems approach is used to estimate the position of sUAS given a variety of sensor platforms, including GPS, radar, and onboard detection hardware.

Major network device manufacturers have each developed their own smart dynamic QoS solutions, such as AutoQoS supported by Cisco, CoS (Class of Service) by Netgear devices, and QoS Maps on SROS (Secure Router Operating System) provided by HP, to maintain the service level of network traffic. Such smart QoS solutions usually only work for manufacture qualified devices and otherwise only a pre-defined static policy mapping can be applied. This paper presents a dynamic QoS solution based on the differentiated services (DiffServ) approach for enterprise networks, which is able to modify the priority level of a packet in real time by adjusting the value of Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) in Internet Protocol (IP) header of network packets. This is implemented by a 0-order TSK fuzzy model with a sparse rule base which is developed by considering the current network delay, application desired priority level and user current priority group. DSCP values are dynamically generated by the TSK fuzzy model and updated in real time. The proposed system has been evaluated in a real network environment with promising results generated.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125670116","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}

This is grounded on the qualitative real-world semantics of words and relationships between the semantics of fuzzy system components and substructures of their real-world counterparts. Thus, we introduce a novel real-world-semantics-based approach. It is aimed at characterizing the so-called real-world-semantics-based interpretability of fuzzy systems.

The essential aspect in VMI model is to fulfill the demand of the retailers by the suppliers. Since, the costs of items are highly volatile, it is not possible to design a VMI model with deterministic demand. In this paper, we have considered one supplier and retailer to perform business of multi-product under VMI model with uncertain demand. Thus, it proposes a novel VMI model, termed as ‘interval type-2 fuzzy vendor managed inventory (IT2 FVMI) model’ that considers interval type-2 fuzzy number to represent the uncertain demand. The objective is to minimize the total cost of VMI by finding the optimum ordered quantity and backordered level. We develop a particle swarm optimization algorithm based solution approach to solve it. A suitable real-world application is considered to perform the simulation. We have considered different number of instances of the products to obtain the results. By comparing the results with the deterministic demand and type-1 fuzzy number, we show the efficacy of our proposed IT2 FVMI model.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123954013","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}

We utilize the Karnik-Mendel (KM) algorithm to estimate the centroid boundary of a multi-dimensional footprint of uncertainty (FOU). We deal with two-dimensional (2-D) fuzzy sets as we can visualize the FOU using 3-D plots, thus making the illustration of the methods simple. However, the basic idea can be extended to multiple dimensions. We give a formal definition of the centroid boundary of a 2-D IT2 fuzzy membership function (FMF) and propose two methods for its estimation. The first method computes embedded type-1 (T1) FSs whose centroids constitute the centroid boundary. We obtain the embedded sets by producing slices of the domain using different sets of parallel planes and then apply the KM algorithm over each slice, to obtain “embedded-curves.” For the second method, we approximate our first method by restricting embedded-curves to be “embedded-lines” thus enhancing computational speed. These type reduction techniques can be applied to applications involving multi-dimensional centroid estimation such as, clustering, support vector estimation for dimensionality reduction, fuzzy logic controllers, to mention a few.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125400416","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}
