In this study, we introduce the optimization method of fuzzy inference systems that is based on Hierarchical Fair Competition-based Parallel Genetic Algorithms (HFCGA) and information data granulation, The granulation is realized with the aid of the Hard C-means clustering and HFCGA is a kind of multi-populations of Parallel Genetic Algorithms (PGA), and it is used for structure optimization and parameter identification of fuzzy model. It concerns the fuzzy model-related parameters such as the number of input variables to be used, a collection of specific subset of input variables, the number of membership functions, the order of polynomial, and the apexes of the membership function. In the optimization process, two general optimization mechanisms are explored. The structural optimization is realized via HFCGA and HCM method whereas in case of the parametric optimization we proceed with a standard least square method as well as HFCGA method as well. A comparative analysis demonstrates that the proposed algorithm is superior to the conventional methods. Particularly, in parameter identification, we use the UNDX operator which uses multiple parents and generate offsprings around the geographic center off mass of these parents.

In this paper, we construct a hybrid intelligent controller based on a fusion scheme of GA(Genetic Algorithm) and FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) clustering-based ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System). In the structure identification, a set of fuzzy rules are generated for a given criterion by FCM clustering algorithm. In the parameter identification, premise parameters are optimally searched by adaptive GA. On the other hand, consequent parameters are estimated by RLSE(Recursive Least Square Estimate) to reduce the search space. Finally, we applied the proposed method to the truck backer-upper control and obtained a better performance than previous works.

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy inference and HCM(Hard C-Means) clustering method are used for on-line fuzzy modeling of nonlinear and complex system. Here HCM clustering method is utilized for determining the initial parameter of membership function of fuzzy premise rules and also avoiding overflow phenomenon during the identification of consequence parameters. To obtain the on-line model structure of fuzzy systems. we use the recursive least square method for the consequent parameter identification. And the proposed on-line identification algorithm is carried out and is evaluated for sewage treatment process system.

본 논문에서는 비선형 모델의 설계를 위해 Type-2 퍼지 논리 집합을 이용하여 불확실성 문제를 다룬다. 퍼지 논리 시스템의 멤버쉽 함수와 규칙의 구조는 불확실성이 존재하는 언어적인 정보 또는 수치적 데이터를 바탕으로 설계된다. 기존의 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템은 외부의 노이즈와 같은 불확실성을 효율적으로 취급할 수 없다. 그러나 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템은 불확실한 정보까지 멤버쉽 함수로 표현함으로서 불확실성을 효과적으로 다룰 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 규칙의 전 ${\cdot}$ 후반부가 Type-2 퍼지 집합으로 구성된 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템을 설계하고 불확실성의 변화에 대한 비선형 모델의 성능을 비교한다. 여기서 규칙 전반부 멤버쉽 함수의 정점 선택은 C-means 클러스터링 알고리즘을 이용하고, 규칙 후반부 퍼지 집합의 정점 결정에는 입자 군집 최적화(PSO : Particle Swarm Optimization) 알고리즘을 사용한다. 마지막으로, 비선형 모델 평가에 대표적으로 이용되는 가스로 시계열 데이터를 제안된 모델에 적용하고, 입력 데이터에 인위적인 노이즈가 포함되었을 경우 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템이 기존의 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템보다 우수함을 보인다.

A design method of rule-based fuzzy modeling is presented for the model identification of complex and nonlinear systems. Three kinds of method for fuzzy modeling presented in this paper include simplified inference (type 1), linear inference (type 2), and modified linear inference (type 3). The fuzzy c-means clustering and modified complex methods are used in order to identify the preise structure and parameter of fuzzy implication rules, respectively and the least square method is utilized for the identification of optimal consequence parameters. Time series data for gas funace and sewage treatment processes are used to evaluate the performances of the proposed rule-based fuzzy modeling.

Due to the changes of shipping and logistic environment, Asian ports today face severe competition. To be a mega-hub port, Asian ports have achieved a big scale development. For these reasons, it has been widely recognized as an important study to analyze and evaluate characteristics of Asian ports, from the standpoint of Korea where Busan Port is located. Although some previous studies have been reported, most of them have been beyond the scope of Asian ports and analyzed the world's major ports; moreover, the studied ports have been about the ports which are well known from the previous research and reports. So, most studies is unlikely to be used as substantial indicators from the perspective of Busan Port. In addition. most of the existing studies have used hierarchical evaluation algorithm for port ranking, such as AHP (analytical hierarchy process) and clustering analysis. However, these two methods have fundamental weaknesses from the algorithm perspective. The aim of this study is to classify major Asian ports based on competitiveness level. Especially. in order to overcome serious problem of the existing studies, major Asian ports were analyzed by using objective indicators. and Fuzzy C-Means algorithm, which alleviates the weakness of the clustering method. It was found that 10 ports of 16 major Asian ports have their own phases and were classified into 4 port groups. This result implies that some ports have higher potential as ports to lead some zones in Asia. Based on those results. present status and future direction of Busan port were discussed as well.

This paper introduces an identification method for nonlinear models in the form of rule-based Fuzzy-Neural Networks (FNN). In this study, the development of the rule-based fuzzy neural networks focuses on the technologies of Computational Intelligence (CI), namely fuzzy sets, neural networks, and genetic algorithms. The FNN modeling and identification environment realizes parameter identification through synergistic usage of clustering techniques, genetic optimization and a complex search method. We use a HCM (Hard C-Means) clustering algorithm to determine initial apexes of the membership functions of the information granules used in this fuzzy model. The parameters such as apexes of membership functions, learning rates, and momentum coefficients are then adjusted using the identification algorithm of a GA hybrid scheme. The proposed GA hybrid scheme effectively combines the GA with the improved com-plex method to guarantee both global optimization and local convergence. An aggregate objective function (performance index) with a weighting factor is introduced to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization of the model. According to the selection and adjustment of the weighting factor of this objective function, we reveal how to design a model having sound approximation and generalization abilities. The proposed model is experimented with using several time series data (gas furnace, sewage treatment process, and NOx emission process data from gas turbine power plants).

This paper presents an intelligent reduction method for external noise. The main idea comes from PSO-FCM (Particle Swam Optimization Fused fuzzy C-Means) clustering. The data of the target is transformed from the antenna coordinates to the vessel one and to the system coordinates. In the conversion, the overall noises hinder observer to get the exact position and velocity of the maneuvering target. While the filter is used for tracking system, unexpected acceleration becomes the main factor which makes the uncertainty. In this paper, the tracking efficiency is improved with the PSO-FCM and the compensation methodology. The acceleration is approximated from the external noise splitted by the proposed clustering method. After extracting the approximated acceleration, the rest in the noise is filtered by the filter and the compensation is added to after that. Proposed tracking method is applicable to the linear model and nonlinear one together. Also, it can do to the on-line system. Finally, some examples are provided to examine the reliability of the proposed method.

This paper presents the intelligent external noise analysis method for nonlinear maneuvering target. After recognizing maneuvering pattern of the target by the proposed method, we track the state of the target. The external noise can be divided into mere noise and acceleration using only the measurement. divided noise passes through the filtering step and acceleration is punched into dynamic model to compensate expected states. The acceleration is the most deterministic factor to the maneuvering. By dividing, approximating, and compensating the acceleration, we can reduce the tracking error effectively. We use the fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering as the method to divide external noise. FCM can separate the acceleration from the noise without criteria. It makes the criteria with the data made by measurement at every sampling time. So it can show the adaptive tracking result. The proposed method proceeds the tracking target simultaneously with the learning process. Thus it can apply to the online system. The proposed method shows the remarkable tracking result on the linear and nonlinear maneuvering. Finally, some examples are provided to show the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.

We introduce an optimization of fuzzy set-fuzzy systems based on IG (Information Granules). The proposed fuzzy model implements system structure and parameter identification by means of IG and GAs. The concept of information granulation was coped with to enhance the abilities of structural optimization of the fuzzy model. Granulation of information realized with C-Means clustering helps determine the initial parameters of the fuzzy model such as the initial apexes of the membership functions in the premise part and the initial values of polynomial functions in the consequence part of the fuzzy rules. The initial parameters are adjusted effectively with the help of the GAs and the standard least square method. To optimally identify the structure and the parameters of the fuzzy model we exploit GAs with successive tuning method to simultaneously search the structure and the parameters within one individual. We also consider the variant generation-based evolution to adjust the rate of identification of the structure and the parameters in successive tuning method. The proposed model is evaluated with the performance of the conventional fuzzy model.
