It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2012 International conference on Fuzzy Theory and Its Applications (iFUZZY2012) at National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan, R.O.C. iFUZZY2012 is the first-year flagship conference of the Taiwan Fuzzy Systems Association which has been vigorously promoting ??Fuzzy Theory?? related industry and the related teaching, studies and investigations...
Organized sessions aim to provide exciting opportunities for researchers and practitioners to present and exchange ideas on important topics within the fields of interest of the conference, and particular to think about shaping the future. They address emerging new areas of special interest to the Taiwan Fuzzy Systems Association and they are organized by experts engaged in advancing the state-of-art...
In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy decentralized control scheme is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear large-scale systems without measurements of states. Fuzzy logic systems are used to tackle unknown nonlinear functions, and fuzzy high-gain filters are first designed to estimate the immeasurable states, and then by using the fuzzy high-gain filters and based on the adaptive backstepping technique,...
In this paper, we will propose the T-S fuzzy controller design for a class of networked control system (NCS) with the network transmission delay and the data packet dropout. In the NCS, the controlled plant is approximated to the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model (T-S fuzzy model). Then, we propose the fuzzy controller design based on the T-S fuzzy model, to inhibit the effect of the network transmission...
This paper presents a robust controller design method for inverted pendulum with model uncertainty and output constraint via Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy control approach. First, the T-S fuzzy model is established for the inverted pendulum. According to the concept of parallel distributed compensation, LMI stability conditions are proposed to guarantee the T-S fuzzy...
Numerous studies have focused on measuring tourism competitiveness. However, few studies have attempted to identify strategies for improving tourism competitiveness, preventing decision makers from obtaining valuable cues for making accurate decisions to improve competitiveness. This study thus explores strategies for improving tourism competitiveness using a new hybrid fuzzy MCDM model combined with...
Understanding user intentions and behaviors with regards to online cloud computing service applications will be helpful in predicting whether an application will be adopted by enterprises and guiding the improvement processes of providers. A wide range of criteria is used to assess the quality of cloud computing services. However, most of these criteria have interdependent or interactive characteristics,...
The factors influence the adoption and acceptance of emerging information technology (IT) products have always been the major concerns for new product developments. Recently, the emergence of Smart Phones and the Tablet PCs motivated major IT vendors like ASUS Technology and Samsung Electronics to launch mobile devices by either integrating a physical smart phone as well as a physical Tablet PC or...
The smart phone application (APP) market surges as the smart phones emerge as one of the most important consumer electronic devices during the past years. The total download numbers of APPs have reached 17.7 billion in 2011, which was doubled from 8.2 billion in 2010. In the foreseeable future, this mega trend continues. Thus, developers began to develop APPs on various platforms. The word-of-mouth...
Customer store loyalty is one of the most important motivations that facilitate the intentions of re-patronizing a retailer's website and create marketing values for firms. Research on survey-based for measuring consumers' loyalty to persist in online shopping environment has been developed. But while the measured values of human perceptions towards various attributes are often uncertain data, most...
The goal of this research is to develop a new algorithm named social behavior algorithm (SBA) which is extended from genetic algorithm and adds some social value as rule for improving genetic algorithm. The social value include citizens can not marry relative, citizens prefer to marry spouses whose condition match themselves, citizens prefer to decide the volume of children based on their condition...
The software releasing planning has been proven to be a NP-complete problem. For a metaheuristic algorithm, too much emphasis on the exploitation of the search experience gathered so far can frequently converge to local optima. On the contrary, too much emphasis on the exploration of unvisited or relatively unexplored search space regions can cause an unstable state. On the basis of the principles...
An earthquake is a sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the earth's surface. Earthquakes strike suddenly, without warning, and they can occur at any time of the year, day or night. After the earthquake, in parallel with the search and rescue operations aids should be sent to the survivors. Seismic map of Turkey is examined in this study. Delivery of...
This paper presents an Image Filter with noise detector using Fuzzy Logic and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which is called the IFFLPSO filter, for removal and restoration of impulse noises. In IFFLPSO filter, the fuzzy logic is employed to efficiently design the noise detector. The proposed filter effectively judges the input pixel vector whether it is corrupted or not. Meanwhile, the particle...
