본 논문은 퍼지 논리 제어기(FLC)의 근사화 능력과 제어 성능을 동시에 향상시키는 정확한 무게 중심(Center Of Gravity; COG) 비퍼지화기를 제안한다. 본 논문은 비퍼지화 과정이 최적 선택의 한 과정이며 비퍼지화 방법의 적절한 선택이다. 제안한 COG 비퍼지화기의 정확성은 출력 소속 함수를 여러 개의 설계 파라메터(중신, 폭, 변경자(modifier))로 나타내고 이들 설계 파라메터들을 학습과 진화의 Lamarckian 상호 적응에 의하여 갱신함으로써 얻어진다. 이러한 학습과 진화의 상호 적응은 학습하지 않는 경우 보다 빠르게 최적 COG 비퍼지화기를 얻도록 하며, 보다 넓은 범위의 탐색으로최적해를 찾을 가능성을 높여 준다. 제안한 설계 방법은 목적 함수의 가중치를 조절하여 높은 근사화 능력, 높은 제어 성능, 또는 이들간의 균형된 성능을 갖는 다양한 특정 응용형(Application-specific)COG 비퍼지화기를 제공한다. 제안한 상호적응 COG 비퍼지화기의 설계방법을 트럭 후진 주차 제어 문제에 적용하여, 각각 시스템 오차와 평균 추적 거리로 나타내어진 근사화 능력과 제어 성능을 기존의 COG 비퍼지화기와 비교한다.

This paper proposes an accurate and cost-effective COA defuzzifier of fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The accuracy of the proposed COA defuzzifier is obtained by involving both membership values and spans of membership functions in calculating a crisp value. The cost-effectiveness of the proposed COA defuzzifier is obtained by replacing the division in the COA defuzzifier by finding an equilibrium point of both the left and right moments. The proposed COA defuzzifier has two disadvantages that it ncreases the hardware complexity due to the additional multipliers and it takes a lot of computation time to find the moment equilibrium point. The first disadvantage is overcome by replacing the multipliers with the stochastic AND operations. The second disadvantage is alleviated by using a coarse-to-fine searching algorithm that accelerates the finding of moment equilibrium point. Application of the proposed COA defuzzifier to the truck backer-upper control problem is performed in the VHDL simulation and the control accuracy of the proposed COA defuzzifier is compared with that of the conventional COA defuzzifier in terms of average tracing distance.

This paper presents a class of hierarchical fuzzy systems where previous layer outputs are used not in IF-parts, but only in THEN -parts of the fuzzy rules of the current layer. The existence of the proposed hierarchical fuzzy system which approximates a given real continuous function on a compact set is proven if complete fuzzy sets are used in the IF-parts of the fuzzy rules with singleton fuzzifier and center average defuzzifier.

본 논문은 저비용이면서 정확한 제어를 수행하는 새로운 퍼지 제어기의 VHDL 설계 및 시뮬레이션을 다룬다. 제안한 퍼지 제어기 (Fuzzy Logic Controller : FLC)의 정확한 비퍼지화 연산시 소속값뿐 아니라 소속 함수의 폭을 고려함으로서 ？어진다. 제안한 퍼지 제어기 저비용성은 기존의 FLC를 다음과 같이 개조함으로서 이루어진다. 먼저, MAX-MIN 추론이 레지스터 파일의 형태로 쉽게 구현 가능한 read-modify-write 연산에 의해 대치된다. 두 번째, COG 비퍼지화기에서 요구하는 제산 연산을 모멘트 균형점의 탐색에 의해 피할 수 있다. 제안한 COG 퍼지화기는 곱셈기가 부가적으로 요구되며 모멘트 균형점의 탐색 시간이 오래 걸리는 단점이 있다. 부가적 곱셈기 요구에 의한 하드웨어 복잡도 증가 문제는 곱셈기를 확률론적 AND 연산에 의해 해결할 수 있고, 오랜 탐색 시간 문제는 coarse-to fine 탐색 알고리즘에 의해 크게 경감될 수 있다. 제안한 퍼지 제어기의 각 모듈은 VHDL에 의해 구조적 수준 및 행위적 수준에서 기술되고, 이들이 제대로 동작하는지 여부를 SYNOPSYS사의 VHDL 시뮬레이션 상에서 트럭 후진 주차 문제에 적용하여 검증하였다.

In recent, the marine engine of a large size is being realized a lower speed, longer stroke and a small number of cylinders for the energy saving. Consequently the variation of rotational torque became larger than former days because of the longer delay-time in fuel oil injection process and an increased output per cylinder. It was necessary that algorithms have enough robustness to suppress the variation of the delay-time and the parameter perturbation. This paper shows the structure of hybrid F-NFC against the delay-time and the perturbation of engine parameter as modeling uncertainties, and the design of the robust speed controller by hybrid F-NFC for the engine. And, The Parameter values of linear equation are determined by RC-GA for F-NFS. The hybrid F-NFC is combined the F-NFC and PID controller for filling up each.

The propulsion marine diesel engine has been widely applied with a mechanical-hydraulic governor to control the ship speed for long time. But it was recently very difficult for the mechanical-hydraullic governor to control the speed of engine under the condition of low speed and low load because of jiggling and hunting by rough fluctuation of rotating torque. To solve these problems of control systems, the performance improvement of mechanical-hydraulic governor is required. In this paper, in order to analyze the speed stability of control systems, the influence of parameters of the engine dead time, gain, damping ratio was discussed on the view of control engineering. The performance improvement of a conventional mechanical hydraulic governor is confirmed to be possible by fuzzy control scheme.

In this paper an electro-hydraulic servo system is designed by using a fuzzy control algorithm. In order to drive an optimal fuzzy control system, a simulation program for the control system has been developed. By this program the fuzzifier and defuzzifier, a fuzzy inference method, a fuzzy relational matrix, and a fuzzy inference method are investigated. As a result, Larsen inference method, 9*9 fuzzy relational matrix, and center of area defuzzifier are turned out the best as parameters. Finally this method is compared with the conventional PID algotithm, and showed that the fuzzy control performs better than PID algorithm. The fuzzy control performs very well adap- tation against uncertain disturbances.

The World Wide Web provides new opportunities for cyber education over the Internet. The web, when combined with other network tools, can be used to provide useful educational information to learners. Thus, the objective of this paper is to develop Java applet for understanding the concept of Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) on the Internet. The developed Java Applet is composed of four frames: fuzzifier, rulebase, inference engine and defuzzifier. Since data transmission can be achieved from one frame to other frames, users can easily observe and understand the process of FLC. The results of this paper can be used to improve the efficiency of lectures in the cyber university.

This paper proposes a new COA (center of area) defuzzifier that is working in the accurate and fast manner. The proposed COA defuzzifier involves both membership values and the spans of membership functions in clauclating a crisp value. In additon, it avoid division by replacing the COA calculation with the searching of the momentum equilibrium point. The moment equilibrium point is searched in the coarse-to-fine manner such that the moment computing points during the coarse searching are moved in the interval of fuzzy terms until they are reached at two adjacent fuzzy terms searching method accerlates the finding of the moment equilibrium point by O(M) mazimally when compared iwth the equal interval searching method of ruitz. In order to verify the accuracy of the proposed COA defuzzifier, the crisp values obtained form the proposed coarse-to-fine searching are compared with the precise crisp values from the arithmetic calculation. Application to the truck backer-upper control problem of the proposed COA defuzzifier is presented. The control performance is compared with that of the conventional COA defuzzifier in tems of the average tracing distance.

This paper proposes an optimal COA(Center Of Area) defuzzification method that improves the contr~lp erformance of a fuzzy logic controller. The defuzzification method incorporates both the membership values and the effective span of membership function6 in calculating a crisp value. An optimal effective span is determined automatically by the genetic algorithm thrqugh the training of some typical examples. Simulation of the proposed COA defuzzifier to the truck backer-upper control problem is presented and the control performance of the praposed COA defuzzifier outperforms that of the conventional COA defuzzifier by more than 20% in terms of ayerage tracing distance.
