In this pattern recognition on the large volumes of remote sensing satellite images, the inference time is much increased. In the case of the remote sensing data [5] having 4 wavebands, the 778 training patterns are learned. Each land cover pattern is classified by using 159, 900 patterns including the trained patterns. For the fuzzy classification, the 778 fuzzy rules are generated. Each fuzzy rule has 4 fuzzy variables in the condition part. Therefore, high performance parallel fuzzy inference system is needed. In this paper, we propose a novel parallel fuzzy inference system on T3E parallel computer. In this, fuzzy rules are distributed and executed simultaneously. The ONE_To_ALL algorithm is used to broadcast the fuzzy input to the all nodes. The results of the MIN/MAX operations are transferred to the output processor by the ALL_TO_ONE algorithm. By parallel processing of the fuzzy rules, the parallel fuzzy inference algorithm extracts match parallelism and achieves a good speed factor. This system can be used in a large expert system that ha many inference variables in the condition and the consequent part.

In fuzzy expert systems or database systems that have huge volumes of fuzzy data or large fuzzy rules, the inference time is much increased. Therefore, a high performance parallel fuzzy computing environment is needed. In this paper, we propose a parallel fuzzy inference mechanism in parallel computing environment. In this, fuzzy rules are distributed and executed simultaneously. The ONE_TO_ALL algorithm is used to broadcast the fuzzy input vector to the all nodes. The results of the MIN/MAX operations are transferred to the output processor by the ALL_TO_ONE algorithm. By parallel processing of fuzzy rules or data, the parallel fuzzy inference algorithm extracts effective parallel ism and achieves a good speed factor.

In this paper, we propose an integrated GUI environment of parallel fuzzy inference system fur pattern classification of remote sensing data. In this, as 4 fuzzy variables in condition part and 104 fuzzy rules are used, a real time and parallel approach is required. For frost fuzzy computation, we use the scan line conversion algorithm to convert lines of each fuzzy linguistic term to the closest integer pixels. We design 4 fuzzy processor unit to be operated in parallel by using FPGA. As a GUI environment, PCI transmission, image data pre-processing, integer pixel mapping and fuzzy membership tuning are considered. This system can be used in a pattern classification system requiring a rapid inference time in a real-time.

We propose an intgrated Gill environment system having only integer fuzzy operations in the consequent part and the defuzzification stage. In this paper, we also propose an integrated Gill environment system with 4 parallel fuzzy processing units to be operated in parallel on the classification of the sensed image data. In this, we solve the problems of taking longer times as the fuzzy real computations of [0, 1] by using the integer pixel conversion algorithm to convert lines of each fuzzy linguistic term to the closest integer pixels. This procedure is performed automatically in the GUI application program. As a Gill environment, PCI transmission, image data pre-processing, integer pixel mapping and fuzzy membership tuning are considered. This system can be operated in parallel manner for MIMO or MISO systems.

A fault is considered as a variation of physical parameters; therefore the design of fault detection and identification(FDI) can be reduced to the parameter identification of a non linear system and to the association of the set of the estimated parameters with the mode of faults. Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System which contains multiple linear models as consequent part is used to model nonlinear systems. Generally, the linear parameters in neuro-fuzzy inference system can be effectively utilized to fault diagnosis. In this paper, we proposes an FDI system for nonlinear systems using neuro-fuzzy inference system. The proposed diagnostic system consists of two neuro-fuzzy inference systems which operate in two different modes (parallel and series-parallel mode). It generates the parameter residuals associated with each modes of faults which can be further processed by additional RBF (Radial Basis Function) network to identify the faults. The proposed FDI scheme has been tested by simulation on two-tank system.

During the past decade, several specific hardwares for fast fuzzy inference have been developed. Most of them are dedicated to a specific inference method and thus cannot support other inference methods. In this paper, we present a hardware architecture called KAFA(KAist Fuzzy Accelerator) which provides various fuzzy inference methods and fuzzy set operators. The architecture has SIMD structure, which consists of two parts; system control/interface unit(Main Controller) and arithmetic units(FPEs). Using the parallel processing technology, the KAFA has the high performance for fuzzy information processing. The speed of the KAFA holds promise for the development of the new fuzzy application systems.

In this paper, we propose a novel PCI bus based parallel fuzzy inference system for transferring and inferencing the large volumes of fuzzy data in high speed. For this, the PCI 9050 interface chip is used to connect a local bus design as a PCI target core using FPGA to the PCI bus. We design and implement the PCI target core by using VHDL to be processed in parallel by considering the points of parallelyzing each element of the membership functions and each block of the condition and/or consequent parts. The proposed system can be used in a system requiring a rapid inference time in a real-time system or pattern recognition on the large volume of satellite images that have many inference variables in the condition and consequent parts.

Recently, there are lots of research work on fuzzy Information theory for many practlcal applications. As the fuzzy control systems become to be sophisticated, they demand more fuzzy parameters, membership functions and fuzzy Inference rules. Eventually, they need effective parallel computing architectures to implement those complex fuzzy inference rules. In this paper, a optical fuzzy Inference system based on 2-D spatial light modulator and digital image board Is Implemented as a new approach for real-time parallel fuzzy computing system. From its good experimental results on the practical fuzzy airconditioner system, a new real-time Opto Fuzzy Inference system Is suggested.

As a general model of rule-based systems, we propose a model for a fuzzy production system having chaining rules and an inference engine associated with the model. The concept of so-called 'fuzzy petri nets' is used to model the fuzzy production system and the inference engine is designed to be capable of handling inexact knowledge. The fuzzy logic is adopted to represent vagueness in the rules and the certainty factor is used to express uncertainty of each rules given by a human expert. Parallel, inference schemes are devised by transforming Fuzzy Petri nets to matrix formula. Futher, the inference engine mechanism under the Mamdani's implication method can be desceribed by a simple algebraic formula, which makes real time inference possible.
