In real world, the project managers handle conflicting goals that govern the use of resources within the stipulated time and budget with required quality and safety. These conflicting goals are required to be optimized simultaneously by the project managers in the framework of fuzzy aspiration levels. The fuzzy linear programming model proposed herein helps project managers to minimize total project costs, completion time, and crashing costs considering indirect costs, contractual penalty costs etc by practically charging them in terms of direct cost of the project. A case study of bituminous pavement under construction is considered to demonstrate the feasibility of applying the proposed model for optimization of project parameters. Consequently, the proposed model yields an efficient compromise solution and the decision maker's overall degree of satisfaction with multiple fuzzy goal values. Additionally, the proposed model provides a systematic decision-making framework, enabling decision maker to interactively modify the fuzzy data and model parameters until a satisfactory solution is obtained. The significant characteristics that differentiate the proposed model with other models include, flexible decision-making process, multiple objective functions, and wide-ranging decision information.

The structural health of a pipeline is usually assessed by visual inspection. In addition to the fact that this method is expensive and time consuming, inspection of the whole structure is not possible due to limited access to some points. Therefore, adopting a damage detection method without the mentioned limitations is important in order to increase the safety of the structure. In recent years, vibration-based methods have been used to detect damage. These methods detect structural defects based on the fact that the dynamic responses of the structure will change due to damage existence. Therefore, the location and extent of damage, before and after the damage, are determined. In this study, fuzzy genetic algorithm has been used to monitor the structural health of the pipeline to create a fuzzy automated system and all kinds of possible failure scenarios that can occur for the structure. For this purpose, the results of an experimental model have been used. Its numerical model is generated in ABAQUS software and the results of the analysis are used in the fuzzy genetic algorithm. Results show that the system is more accurate in detecting high-intensity damages, and the use of higher frequency modes helps to increase accuracy. Moreover, the system considers the damage in symmetric regions with the same degree of membership. To deal with the uncertainties, some error values are added, which are observed to be negligible up to 10% of the error.

이 연구는 원격탐사 영상의 분류정확도를 향상시키기 위한 방법으로써 신경망 이론과 퍼지집합이론을 각각 적용하였다. 원격탐사 영상은 토지피복도, 식생도, 지질도 등 주제도를 만드는데 많이 이용되고 있다. 원격탐사 영상의 감독분류에 대한 정확도는 트레이닝 지역의 선정, 분류항목의 할당 문제로 인해 많은 차이를 보인다. 일반적인 영상 분류법은 영상 내의 모든 영상소가 균질하다고 가정한다. 그러나, 이러한 가정은 영상내의 수많은 혼합 영상소를 분류해내는 데에는 적합하지 않다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 퍼지 집합이론을 적용하였으며, 퍼지 집합이론의 멤버쉽을 이용하였다. 퍼지 집합이론은 하나의 영상소를 멤버쉽의 정도에 따라 여러 가지 항목으로 분류할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 퍼지분류법과 통계학적인 분류법은 화소값의 분포가 비정규적일 때 좋지 않은 분류 결과를 나타내며 처리 시간이 늦고 많은 컴퓨팅 비용이 드는 단점이 있다. 그 대안적인 방법으로서 신경망분류법을 들 수 있는데, 신경망 분류법은 비모수적 분류법으로서 일반적인 분류기법보다 좀 더 좋은 결과를 나타내고 있고, 한번 트레이닝 되면 빠르게 데이터를 분류할 수 있다.

본 눈문에서는 퍼지 벡터양자호를 이용하여 음성을 합성하는 방법을 제시하고,원음에 가까운 합성음을 얻기 위하여 퍼지벡터양자화의 성능을 최적화 하는 Fuzziness갑의 선정방법을 연구한다. 퍼지벡터 양자화를 이용하여 음성을 합성할때, 분석단에서는 입력 음성패턴과 코드북의 음성패턴의 유사도를 나타내는 퍼지 소속함수값을 출력하고, 합성단에서는 분석단에서 얻은 퍼지소속 함수값, fuzziness값, 그리고 FCM(Fuzzy-C-Means) 연산식을 이용하여 음성을 합성한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 벡터양자화에 의해 합성된 음성과 퍼지 벡터양자화에 의해 합성된 음성을 코드북의 크기에 따라 비교한 결과, 퍼지벡터양자화를 이용한 음성합성의 성능이 코드북 크기가 절반으로 줄어도 벡터양자화에 의한 성능과 거의 같음을 알수 있다. 이것은 VQ(Vecotr Quantiz-ation)에 의한 음성합성 결과와 같은 성능을 얻기 위해서 퍼지 VQ를 사용하면, 코드북 저장을 위한 메모리의 크기를 절반으로 줄일 수 있음을 의미한다. 그리고 SQNR을 최대로 하는 퍼지 벡터양자화를 얻기 위한 최적 Fuzziness값은 음성분석 프레임의 분산값이 크면 작게 선정해야 하고, 작으면 크게 선정 해야함을 밝혔다. 또한 합성음들을 주파수 영역의 스펙트로그램에서 비교한 결과 포만트 주파수와 피치주파수에서 퍼지 VQ에 의한 합성음이 VQ에 의한 것보다 원 음성에 더 가까움을 알 수 있었다.

FCM 알고리즘은 입력 벡터와 각 클러스터의 유클리드 거리를 이용하여 구해진 소속도만를 비교하여 데이터를 분류하기 때문에 클러스터링 된 공간에서의 데이터들의 분포에 따라 바람직하지 못한 클러스터링 결과를 보일 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 대칭적 성질을 이용하는 대칭성 측도에 퍼지 이론을 적용하여 군집간의 거리에 따른 변화와 군집 중심의 위치, 그리고 군집 형태에 따라 영향을 덜 받는 개선된 FCM이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 효과적으로 패턴을 분류하기 위해 개선된 FCM 알고리즘을 적용한 개선된 하이브리드 네트워크를 제안한다. 제안된 하이브리드 네트워크는 개선된 FCM 알고리즘을 입력층과 중간층의 학습구조 적용하고 중간층과 출력층의 학습 구조는 일반화된 델타 학습법을 적용한다. 제안된 방법의 인식 성능을 평가하기 위해 2차원 좌표 평면 상의 데이터를 기존의 Max_Min 신경망을 이용한 FCM 기반 RBF 네트워크와 FCM 기반 RBF 네트워크, HCM 기반 네트워크와 제안된 방법 간의 학습 및 인식 성능을 비교 및 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 퍼지 트리플을 사용하는 내용 기반 이미지 검색 방법을 제안한다. 이미지 내 객체들 사이의 공간 관계는 내용 기반 이미지 검색을 위해 사용되는 주요한 속성들 중의 하나이다. 그러나, 기존의 트리플을 이용한 이미지 검색 시스템들은 개념 기반 검색 방법을 지원하지 못하고, 방향들 사이의 근사 정합을 처리하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 개념 기반 정합과 근사 정합을 지원하는 퍼지 트리플을 이용한 이미지 검색 방법을 제안한다. 개념 기반 정합을 위해서는 퍼지 소속성 집합으로 이루어진 시소러스가 사용되며, 근사 정합을 위해서는 방향들 사이의 관계를 정량화 하기 위한 k-weight 함수가 각각 이용된다. 이 두 가지 정합은 퍼지 트리플 간의 퍼지 정합을 통하여 균일하게 지원될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 또한, 개념 기반 정합과 근사 정합에 대한 검색 효과를 정량적으로 평가하는 작업을 수행한다. Abstract This paper proposes an inexact and a concept-based image match technique based on fuzzy triples. The most general method adopted to index and retrieve images based on this spatial structure may be triple framework. However, there are two significant drawbacks in this framework; one is that it can not support a concept-based image retrieval and the other is that it fails to deal with an inexact match among directions. To compensate these problems, we develope an image retrieval technique based on fuzzy triples to make the inexact and concept-based match possible. For the concept-based match, we employ a set of fuzzy membership functions structured like a thesaurus, whereas for the inexact match, we introduce k-weight functions to quantify the similarity between directions. In fuzzy triples, the two facilities are uniformly supported by fuzzy matching. In addition, we analyze the retrieval effectiveness of our framework regarding the degree of the conceptual matching and the inexact matching.

The current cloud computing paradigm is still vulnerable to a significant number of system failures. The increasing demand for fault tolerance and resilience in a cost-effective and device-independent manner is a primary reason for creating an effective means to address system dependability and availability concerns. This paper focuses on online failure prediction for cloud computing systems using system runtime data, which is different from traditional tolerance techniques that require an in-depth knowledge of underlying mechanisms. A 'failure prediction' approach, based on Cloud Theory (CT) and the Hidden Markov Model (HMM), is proposed that extends the HMM by training with CT. In the approach, the parameter ω is defined as the correlations between various indices and failures, taking into account multiple runtime indices in cloud computing systems. Furthermore, the approach uses multiple dimensions to describe failure prediction in detail by extending parameters of the HMM. The likelihood and membership degree computing algorithms in the CT are used, instead of traditional algorithms in HMM, to reduce computing overhead in the model training phase. Finally, the results from simulations show that the proposed approach provides very accurate results at low computational cost. It can obtain an optimal tradeoff between 'failure prediction' performance and computing overhead.

Since the nonlinearity and uncertainties which inherently exist in vehicle system need to be considered in active suspension control law design, this paper proposes a new control strategy for active vehicle suspension systems by using a combined control scheme, i.e., respectively using a genetic algorithm (GA) based self-tuning PID controller and a fuzzy logic controller in two loops. In the control scheme, the PID controller is used to minimize vehicle body vertical acceleration, the fuzzy logic controller is to minimize pitch acceleration and meanwhile to attenuate vehicle body vertical acceleration further by tuning weighting factors. In order to improve the adaptability to the changes of plant parameters, based on the defined objectives, a genetic algorithm is introduced to tune the parameters of PID controller, the scaling factors, the gain values and the membership functions of fuzzy logic controller on-line. Taking a four degree-of-freedom nonlinear vehicle model as example, the proposed control scheme is applied and the simulations are carried out in different road disturbance input conditions. Simulation results show that the present control scheme is very effective in reducing peak values of vehicle body accelerations, especially within the most sensitive frequency range of human response, and in attenuating the excessive dynamic tire load to enhance road holding performance. The stability and adaptability are also showed even when the system is subject to severe road conditions, such as a pothole, an obstacle or a step input. Compared with conventional passive suspensions and the active vehicle suspension systems by using, e.g., linear fuzzy logic control, the combined PID and fuzzy control without parameters self-tuning, the new proposed control system with GA-based self-learning ability can improve vehicle ride comfort performance significantly and offer better system robustness.

Any business activities may have impact on environment to a certain extent. Enterprises must find appropriate approaches to measure the impact on these environmental aspects, which can be used as the basis to direct enterprises' efforts to improve the environmental impact. The method used to evaluate significant factors in life cycle assessment standards is the one most commonly used by enterprises in general to measure environmental impact. By this method, the decisive factors of each environmental aspect are given scores according to the preset scoring standard of the organization. The scores are added up for each aspect and ranked to assess major environmental aspects. The drawback of this assessment method, that is, it ignores the degree to which each of these factors affects the environment, results in poor credibility. Therefore, this study attempts to solve some qualitative problems by applying to fuzzy theory, in particular, by identifying appropriate fuzzy numbers through fuzzy sets and membership function. Moreover, the study seeks to obtain a crisp value in the process of defuzzifization in order to make up for the shortfall of the original method in dealing with relative weight of decisive factors and thus increase its applicability and credibility. The department of light production of an electronics company is used as an example in this study to measure environmental aspects by employing both the traditional significant factor method and the fuzzy environmental impact assessment model proposed in this study. Based on verification and comparison of results, the model proposed in this study is more feasible as it reduces partiality in decision-making by taking the relative weights of decisive factors into consideration.

This study was carried out to offer the systematical and scientific method of regional environment conservation by deciding the rank using fuzzy theory, and try to find the methodology to accurately accomplished the regional environment assessment for sound land conservation. The results were as follows. To transform the Likert's scale granted to assessment indicators into the type of triangular fuzzy number (a, b, c), there was conversion to each minimum (a), median (b), and maximum (c) in applying membership function. We used the center of gravity and eigenvalue leading to the rank. In the sequential analysis of rank-based test of assessment indicators by triangular fuzzy number, the result proclaimed that ranking of the indicators was, in the biotic field, in the order of 'dominance', 'sociality', 'coverage' and in the abiotic one, 'soil pH', 'T-N', 'soil property', and in the qualitative one, 'impact rating class', 'hemeroby degree', 'land use pattern', and in the functional one, 'protection of water resource', 'offer of recreation', 'protection of soil erosion'. Therefore, there was a difference between subjective rank from human and the rank from triangular fuzzy number. In other words, the scientific rank decision would be not so much being subjective and biased as dealing with human thoughts mathematically by triangular fuzzy number.
