    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.24, No.1, pp. 1-8, 2018, DOI:10.1080/10798587.2016.1261955
    Abstract This paper proposes a dimension root distance and its similarity measure of single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs), and then develops the fault diagnosis method of hydraulic turbine by using the dimension root similarity measure of SVNSs. By the similarity measures between the fault diagnosis patterns and a testing sample with single-valued neutrosophic information and the relation indices, we can determine the main fault type and the ranking order of various vibration faults for predicting some possible fault trend. Then, the comparison of the fault diagnoses of hydraulic turbine based of the proposed dimension root similarity measure and the existing cotangent similarity… More >

    An Efficient Hybrid Algorithm for a Bi-objectives Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling

    S. M. Mousavia, M. Zandiehb
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.24, No.1, pp. 9-16, 2018, DOI:10.1080/10798587.2016.1261956
    Abstract This paper considers the problem of scheduling n independent jobs in g-stage hybrid flow shop environment. To address the realistic assumptions of the proposed problem, two additional traits were added to the scheduling problem. These include setup times, and the consideration of maximum completion time together with total tardiness as objective function. The problem is to determine a schedule that minimizes a convex combination of objectives. A procedure based on hybrid the simulated annealing; genetic algorithm and local search so-called HSA-GA-LS are proposed to handle this problem approximately. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with a genetic algorithm… More >

    Abstract With the development of big data science, handling intensive knowledge in the complex network becomes more and more important. Knowledge representation of multi-agent negotiation in the complex network plays an important role in big data science. As a modern approach to declarative programming, answer set programming is widely applied in representing the multi-agent negotiation knowledge in recent years. But almost all the relevant negotiation models are based on complete rational agents, which make the negotiation process complex and low efficient. Sorting negotiation demands is the most key step in creating an efficient negotiation model to improve the negotiation ability of… More >

    Abstract In order to research biological cells, a well-established physical method can be used, that is electrorotation. To achieve electrorotation system, a signal oscillator or a signal generator is always needed. The signal generator is used for generating signals with phase shift and transfers it to the electro chamber. The frequency range of the output signal is generally between 20 Hz to 100 MHz for the signal generator, but for high frequency range, like 100 MHz to 1 GHz, the signal generator is hard to control and the linear properties for the output signal is not good enough to do the electrorotation. So design a… More >

    Abstract With the explosive growth of various social media applications, individuals and organizations are increasingly using their contents (e.g. reviews, forum discussions, blogs, micro-blogs, comments, and postings in social network sites) for decision-making. These contents are typical big data. Opinion mining or sentiment analysis focuses on how to extract emotional semantics from these big data to help users to get a better decision. That is not an easy task, because it faces many problems, such as different context may make the meaning of the same word change variously, at the same time multilingual environment restricts the full use of the analysis… More >

    Abstract Bolt loosening is a common structural failure, which received extensive attention from many industrial departments. Because the uneven stress on different directions of a bolt is the common reason that the bolt becomes loose, it is quite important to carry out the research about sensitive detection of bolt loosening. Using Agilent 4924A instrument, this paper precedes the loosening test of bolts based on Electro-Mechanical Impedance (EMI), on an aluminum plate instead of flange plate for simplification. And the electromechanical admittance is given according to the fundamental equation of PiezoMaterial Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT). Specifically, the paper first studies the detecting… More >

    Abstract In this paper, the uncertainty property is represented by the Z-number as the coefficients of the fuzzy equation. This modification for the fuzzy equation is suitable for nonlinear system modeling with uncertain parameters. We also extend the fuzzy equation into dual type, which is natural for linearin-parameter nonlinear systems. The solutions of these fuzzy equations are the controllers when the desired references are regarded as the outputs. The existence conditions of the solutions (controllability) are proposed. Two types of neural networks are implemented to approximate solutions of the fuzzy equations with Z-number coefficients. More >

    Abstract Complexities in organizational and economical environments have lead psychologists, management scholars, and economists to investigate the multi-dimensional essence of job satisfaction. Unfortunately, existing studies are based on exact data, whereas relevant information is imperfect. To deal with imprecise and partially reliable information, Zadeh proposed the concept of a Z-number.

    Abstract Regression analysis is widely used for modeling of real-world processes in various fields. It should be noted that information relevant to real-world processes is characterized by imprecision and partial reliability. This involves combination of fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties. Prof.. L. Zadeh introduced the concept of a Z-number as a formal construct for dealing with such information. The present stateof-the-art of regression analysis under Z-number valued information is very scarce. In this paper we consider a Z-number valued multiple regression analysis and its application to a real-world decisionmaking problem. The obtained results show applicability of the proposed approach.

    Z-Numbers and Type-2 Fuzzy Sets: A Representation Result

    Abstract Traditional [0; 1] based fuzzy sets were originally invented to describe expert knowledge expressed in terms of imprecise “fuzzy” words from the natural language. To make this description more adequate, several generalizations of the traditional [0; 1] based fuzzy sets have been proposed, among them type- 2 fuzzy sets and Z-numbers. The main objective of this paper is to study the relation between these two generalizations. As a result of this study, we show that if we apply data processing to Z-numbers, then we get type-2 sets of special type —that we call monotonic. We also prove that every monotonic… More >

    Abstract Commonsense reasoning plays a pivotal role in the development of intelligent systems for decisionmaking, system analysis, control and other applications. As Prof. L.

Zadeh suggested main principles of the theory of usuality, unfortunately up to present day; a fundamental and systemic approach to reasoning with usual knowledge is not developed.
    In this study, we develop a new approach to calculus of usual numbers (U-numbers). We consider a U-number as a Z-number, where the second component is “usually”. Validity of the suggested approach is verified by examples. More >

Thus, the need is for a new concept in the analysis of decision-making. Zadeh has introduced this concept as the Z-number. Because the concept is relatively new, Z-number in fuzzy sets, hence, its basic theoretical aspects are yet undetermined. This paper presents a method for ranking Z-numbers. Hence, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy numbers based on that of hyperbolic tangent function and convex combination. Then, using the same technique we propose a method… More >
