Vibrations of Frames with Inclined Members
The model established for the vibration of the inclined bars in the last chapter now is applied to two- and three-bar frames with inclined members. -
Multi View and Multi Scale Image Based Visual Servo For Micromanipulation
In this article, we present vision-based techniques for solving some of the problems of micromanipulation. Manipulation and assembly at the micro... -
Intelligent Precision Motion Control
Precision engineering [3] has been steadily gathering momentum over the last century in terms of research, development, and application to product... -
The Kernel Memory Concept – A Paradigm Shift from Conventional Connectionism
In this chapter, the general concept of kernel memory (KM) is described, which is given as the basis for not only representing the general notion of... -
Control Applications of Sum of Squares Programming
We consider nonlinear systems with polynomial vector fields and pose two classes of system theoretic problems that may be solved by sum of squares... -
LMI Optimization for Fixed-Order H∞ Controller Design
A general H∞ controller design technique is proposed for scalar linear systems, based on properties of positive polynomial matrices. The order of the... -
Modelling Abstract Notions Relevant to the Mind and the Associated Modules
This chapter is devoted to the remaining four modules within the AMS, i.e. 1) attention, 2) emotion, 3) intention, and 4) intuition module, and their... -
Granular Nested Causal Complexes
Causal reasoning occupies a central position in human reasoning. In many ways, causality is granular. This is true for: perception, commonsense... -
Using an Adapted Classification Based on Associations Algorithm in an Activity-Based Transportation System
A lot of research has been carried out in the past by using association rules to build more accurate classifiers. The idea behind these integrated... -
The Evolution of the Concept of Fuzzy Measure
Most information discovery processes need to understand the reasons of the success of the inference methods or the usability of the new information,... -
Discovering the Factors Affecting the Location Selection of FDI in China*
Since the late 1970s, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has played an important role in the economic development of China. However, the growth of FDI... -
The Many Faces of a Kohonen Map A Case Study: SOM-based Clustering for On-Line Fraud Behavior Classification
The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is an excellent tool for exploratory data analysis. It projects the input space on prototypes of a low-dimensional... -
Data Mining and User Profiling for an E-Commerce System
Many companies are now develo** an online internet presence to sell or promote their products and services. The data generated by e-commerce sites... -
Discovery of Fuzzy Multiple-Level Web Browsing Patterns
Web usage mining is the application of data mining techniques to discover usage patterns from web data. It can be used to better understand web usage... -
Comparison Between Five Classifiers for Automatic Scoring of Human Sleep Recordings
The aim of this work is to compare the performances of 5 classifiers (linear and quadratic classifiers, k nearest neighbors, Parzen kernels and... -
A Probabilistic Approach to Mining Fuzzy Frequent Patterns
Deriving association rules is a typical task in data mining. The problem was originally defined for transactions of discrete items, but it was soon... -
Analysis and Architecture of Clinical Workflow Systems using Agent-Oriented Lifecycle Models
Healthcare executives are grappling with a climate of great change in the healthcare industry. This is coming from a number of sources. First, there... -
A Qualitative Approach for Symbolic Data Manipulation Under Uncertainty
In decision making problems, the experts knowledge has different natures: numerical, interval-valued, symbolic, linguistic, . . . In other terms, the... -
Set-valued Data
Since fuzzy sets are generalizations of ordinary sets, we present in this Chapter the essentials of random set theory for statistics. This material... -
4 Continuous-time Systems: Tracking Control
In this chapter we treat the problem of H∞ tracking with stochastic multiplicative white noise. We extend the work of [98], which does not involve...
