This paper proposes a novel cooperative particle swarm PSO (particle swarm optimization)algorithm, which makes the use of the property of the fuzzy migratory operator to achieve the optimization performance. To avoid the drawback of the possibility of being trapped in local optimum, the proposed...

The issues of Human–Machine Interface (HMI) of Virtual Environment (VE) are discussed in view of users' potential application requirements in VE. The Human-centered HMI containing rich context information is proposed by taking the advantage of the abundant research findings of artificial...

Qualitative spatial reasoning (QSR) is useful for deriving logical inferences when quantitative spatial information is not available. QSR theories have applications in areas such as geographic information systems, spatial databases, robotics, and cognitive sciences. The existing QSR theories...

This work presents a method of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) using neutrosophic sets. Besides studying some interesting mathematical properties of the method, algorithm viz neut-MCDM is presented. The work also furnishes the fundamentals of neutrosophic set theory succinctly, to provide...

Task allocation and scheduling is an important typical problem in the area of high performance computing. Unfortunately, the existing traditional solutions to this problem in high performance computing cannot be directly implemented in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to the limitations of...

Carotid intima-medial thickness (CIMT) allows for early detection of carotid atherosclerotic vascular disease. Using fuzzy logic techniques, we propose a model for calculating the risk for predicting CIMT using expert opinion and various factors associated with CIMT in recently menopausal women....

Multi-object tracking has significant merit to our society. However, interactions among objects result in complex spatial occlusions, which gives rise to a challenging problem in tracking. We propose an adaptive weighing particle filter (AWPT) for tracking multiple objects and reasoning the...

We consider a two-period exchange economy with a finite set of consumers, states of nature, independent assets and a single consumption good. We prove the existence of competitive equilibrium in incomplete markets, when consumption set is not assumed to be compact, set of assets is linearly...

In this paper, we discuss two new computational techniques for solving a generalized fully fuzzy linear system (FFLS) with arbitrary triangular fuzzy numbers (m,α,β). The methods eliminate the non-negative restriction on the fuzzy coefficient matrix that has been considered by almost every...

Chinese is one of the oldest and most widely used languages with an ideographic writing system. It is curious to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese in cognitive linguistics, cognitive informatics, and knowledge science. This paper presents a comparative study on the fundamental...
