FML allows researchers and engineers to focus on problem solving activities bypassing additional difficulties related to programming or physical equipment constraints. From that moment on, many researches have been using FML and other XML-based languages for modeling and developing fuzzy systems. However, in spite of their hardware interoperability, XML languages are able to model a fuzzy system in static way and, consequently, they do not provide any support for modelling \"evolving\" and temporal-based fuzzy systems, as such Timed Automata based Fuzzy Controllers. To address this deficiency, this paper introduces an extension of FML called FMLScript. It is based on a scripting language concept and allows for modeling XML-based systems that can dynamically modify their configurations. As the consequence, a better expressive power can be achieved when compared with static modelling approaches. This is shown in a case study involving a smart grid control.","PeriodicalId":413342,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125340935","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}

These data are generated in disparate locations and their aggregation into one location is exceedingly time and space consuming. Traditional statistical methods are not sufficient for processing of this massive multi-source data. In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy-based decision fusion approach for classification problems of this kind. The necessity of fuzzy information arises in distributed classification because imprecision, uncertainty and ambiguity can be found at all information sources, from the data itself to the results of the classifiers. In the proposed approach, multiple classifiers are constructed based on different information sources which have different degrees of reliability. Then a fuzzy rule based system is designed for approximating distribution of reliabilities of sources over the input space. The decision fusion of multiple classifiers takes place using the estimated degrees of sources' reliabilities. Comparison results are made between both centralized classification and two other distributed classification methods. One is averaging and the other is discounting each classifier's decision based on its accuracy. Results show the high accuracy of the proposed method in making decisions in distributed environments, without the overhead of aggregating the entire data in one location.","PeriodicalId":413342,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115522457","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}

However, the computations in an IT2 FLS are more complex than those in a type-1 FLS, and there are many choices to be made in designing an IT2 FLS, including the shape of membership functions (Gaussian or trapezoidal), number of membership functions, type of fuzzifier (singleton or non-singleton), kind of rules (Mamdani or Takagi-Sugeno-Kang), type of i-norm (minimum or product), method to compute the output (type-reduction or not), and methods for tuning the parameters (gradient-based methods or evolutionary computation algorithms; one-step or two-step). While these choices give an experienced IT2 FLS researcher extensive freedom to design the optimal IT2 FLS, they may look overwhelming and confusing to IT2 beginners. Such a beginner may make an inappropriate choice, obtain unexpected results, and lose interest, which will hinder the wider applications of IT2 FLSs. In this paper we try to help IT2 beginners navigate through the maze by recommending some representative choices for an IT2 FLS design. We also clarify two myths about IT2 FLSs.

Therefore, re-sampling and data size reduction have become important steps to pre-process the data. In this paper, a sampling strategy over a large imbalanced dataset is proposed, in which the samples of the larger class are selected based on fuzzy logic. To further reduce the data size, the evolutionary computational method of CHC is employed. The evaluation is done by applying a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to train a classification model from the re-sampled training sets. From experimental results, it can be seen that our proposed method improves both the F-measure and AUC. The complexity of the classification model is also compared. It is found that our proposed method is superior to all other compared methods.","PeriodicalId":413342,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116220661","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}

Regardless of the actual FRI approach employed, the interpolative reasoning process generally produces a large number of interpolated rules, which are then discarded as soon as the required outcomes have been obtained. However, these interpolated rules may contain potentially useful information, e.g., covering regions that were uncovered by the original sparse rule base. Thus, such rules should be exploited in order to develop a dynamic rule base for improving the overall system coverage and efficacy. This paper presents a genetic algorithm based dynamic fuzzy rule interpolation framework, for the purpose of selecting, combining, and promoting informative, frequently used intermediate rules into the existing rule base. Simulations are employed to demonstrate the proposed method, showing better accuracy and robustness than that achievable through conventional FRI that uses just the original sparse rule base.","PeriodicalId":413342,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114179098","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 order to illustrate the effect of the FOU on the control performance, the control performance of an IT2-FPID controller composed of 3×3 rules will be compared with a Type-1 Fuzzy PID (T1-FPID) controller of 5×5 rules. Moreover, in order to provide more extra degree of freedom to the T1-FPID structure, we will employ two self-tuning mechanisms where the weights of the fuzzy rules are adjusted in an online manner. Thus, we will present detailed comparative studies on how the extra degrees of freedom provided by the FOU or the employed tuning mechanisms affect the control and robustness performance. The presented analysis confirm that by tuning the FOU the performance of the IT2-FPID is better in wide range of operating points in comparison with its type-1 and self-tuning type-1 fuzzy counterparts which is not merely for the IT2-FPID use of extra parameters, but rather its different way of dealing with the disturbance, nonlinearities uncertainties and noise.","PeriodicalId":413342,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114578213","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}

To date, almost all organizations are trying to establish some collaboration with others in order to enhance the performance of their services. Due to privacy and security issues they cannot share their information and data with each other. Collaborative clustering helps this kind of collaborative process while maintaining the privacy and security of data and can still yield a satisfactory result. Preprocessing helps the collaborative process by using an induced partition matrix generated based on cluster prototypes. The induced partition matrix is calculated from local data by using the cluster prototypes obtained from other data sites. Each member of the collaborating team collects the data and generates information locally by using the fuzzy c-means (FCM) and shares the cluster prototypes to other members. The other members preprocess the centroids before collaboration and use this information to share globally through collaborative fuzzy clustering (CFC) with other data. This process helps system to learn and gather information from other data sets. It is found that preprocessing helps system to provide reliable and satisfactory result, which can be easily visualized through our simulation results in this paper.","PeriodicalId":413342,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116836340","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}
