Intelligent Approaches to Real Time Level Control
Статья научная
Liquid level control is important for ensuring energy and material balance in many installations but it also difficult as the plant is nonlinear, inertial and with model uncertainties. Fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are successfully applied to ensure system stability and robustness by simple means and a model-free design. This paper suggests a procedure for off-line tuning of the many FLC parameters based on optimization of a suggested multi-objective function defined on several system performance indices using genetic algorithms (GAs). First, a model-free FLC is empirically tuned, then applied for real time control of the plant and the necessary data recorded and used to GA parameter optimize a TSK plant model of an accepted structure. The validated on different set of experimental data model is employed in FLC closed loop system simulation experiments to evaluate the fitness function in the GA optimization of the FLC pre-processing and post-processing parameters. The procedure is applied for the real time PI/PID FLC level control in a laboratory-scale tank system. The improvement of the system performance indices due to the GA optimization is estimated in level real time control.

Intelligent PI Fuzzy Control of An Electro-Hydraulic Manipulator
Статья научная
The development of a fuzzy-logic controller for a class of industrial hydraulic manipulator is described. The main element of the controller is a PI-type fuzzy control technique which utilizes a simple set of membership functions and rules to meet the basic control requirements of such robots. Using the triangle shaped membership function, the position of the servocylinder was successfully controlled. When the system parameter is altered, the control algorithm is shown to be robust and more faster compared to the traditional PID controller. The robustness and tracking ability of the controller were demonstrated through simulations.

Intelligent Routing Techniques for Mobile Ad hoc Networks using Swarm Intelligence
Статья научная
A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of autonomous self-organized nodes. They use wireless medium for communication, thus two nodes can communicate directly if and only if they are within each other’s transmission radius in a multi-hop fashion. Many conventional routing algorithms have been proposed for MANETs. An emerging area that has recently captured much attention in network routing researches is Swarm Intelligence (SI). Besides conventional approaches, many new researches have proposed the adoption of Swarm Intelligence for MANET routing. Swarm Intelligence (SI) refers to complex behaviors that arise from very simple individual behaviors and interactions, which is often observed in nature, especially among social insects such as ants, bees, fishes etc. Although each individual has little intelligence and simply follows basic rules using local information obtained from the environment. Ants routing resembles basic mechanisms from distributed Swarm Intelligence (SI) in biological systems and turns out to become an interesting solution where routing is a problem. Ants based routing is gaining more popularity because of its adaptive and dynamic nature. A number of Swarm Intelligence (SI) based algorithms were proposed by researchers. In this paper, we study bio-inspired routing protocols for MANETs.

The innovation of e-metering (Electronic Metering) has experienced fast mechanical progressions and there is expanded interest in a solid and effective Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) framework. GSM Based shrewd vitality meter perusing framework replaces conventional meter perusing techniques. It empowers remote access to the existing vitality meter by the vitality provider. A GSM-based remote correspondence module is incorporated with the electronic vitality meter of every element to have remote access to the utilization of power. A PC with a GSM recipient at the opposite end, which contains the database goes about as the charging point.

Intelligent scheduling of demand side energy usage in smart grid using a metaheuristic approach
Статья научная
As the global demand for electricity is growing continuously, the sources use more fossil fuels to generate electricity which in turn increases the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Moreover the electrical system becomes unreliable during the peak hours if the demand for electricity is very high. So there is a need to have a grid system which can handle these cases in a smarter way. A Smart Grid is such an electrical grid system which can control and manage electricity demand in a more reliable and economic manner using various energy efficient resources and a variety of operational measures like smart meters, smart appliances and smart communication system. The smart grid uses a technique called energy demand management at consumer side which motivates the consumers to control and reduce their demand for energy during peak hours. This makes the whole system more reliable and efficient. The demand side management (DSM) includes various methods such as increasing awareness among the consumers and giving them some financial incentives which can encourage them to be a part of the DSM program. In this paper a novel Demand Side Management technique has been proposed for a typical smart grid scenario which comprises users with energy storage devices using a metaheuristic approach to have an optimal load scheduling that results in reduced peak hour demands.

Intelligent training algorithm for artificial neural network EEG classifications
Статья научная
Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been widely used in classification. They are complicated networks due to the training algorithm used to fix their weights. To achieve better neural network performance, many evolutionary and meta-heuristic algorithms are used to optimize the network weights. The aim of this paper is to implement recently evolutionary algorithms for optimizing neural weights such as Grass Root Optimization (GRO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Cuckoo Search Optimization (CSA) and Practical Swarm Optimization (PSO). This ANN was examined to classify three classes of EEG signals healthy subjects, subjects with interictal epilepsy seizure, and subjects with ictal epilepsy seizures. The above training algorithms are compared according to classification rate, training and testing mean square error, average time, and maximum iteration.

Internet Traffic Classification for Educational Institutions Using Machine Learning
Статья научная
In recent times machine learning algorithms are used for internet traffic classification. The infinite number of websites in the internet world can be classified into different categories in different ways. In educational institutions, these websites can be classified into two categories, educational websites and non-educational websites. Educational websites are used to acquire knowledge, to explore educational topics while the non-educational websites are used for entertainment and to keep in touch with people. In case of blocking these non-educational websites students use proxy websites to unblock them. Therefore, in educational institutes for the optimum use of network resources the use of non-educational and proxy websites should be banned. In this paper, we use five ML classifiers Naïve Bayes, RBF, C4.5, MLP and Bayes Net to classify the educational and non-educational websites. Results show that Bayes Net gives best performance in both full feature and reduced feature data sets for intended classification of internet traffic in terms of classification accuracy, recall and precision values as compared to other classifiers.

Interpretable Fuzzy System for Early Detection Autism Spectrum Disorder
Статья научная
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a chronic developmental impairment that impairs a person's ability to communicate and connect with others. In people with ASD, social contact and reciprocal communication are continually jeopardized. People with ASD may require varying degrees of psychological aid in order to gain greater independence, or they may require ongoing supervision and care. Early discovery of ASD results in more time allocated to individual rehabilitation. In this study, we proposed the fuzzy classifier for ASD classification and tested its interpretability with the fuzzy index and Nauck's index to ensure its reliability. Then, the rule base is created with the Gauje tool. The fuzzy rules were then applied to the fuzzy neural network to predict autism. The suggested model is built on the Mamdani rule set and optimized using the backpropagation algorithm. The proposed model uses a heuristic function and pattern evolution to classify dataset. The model is evaluated using the benchmark metrics accuracy and F-measure, and Nauck's index and fuzzy index are employed to quantify interpretability. The proposed model is superior in its ability to accurately detect ASD, with an average accuracy rate of 91% compared to other classifiers.

Investigating Performance of Various Natural Computing Algorithms
Статья научная
Nature is there since millenniums. Natural elements have withstood harsh complexities since years and have proved their efficiency in tackling them. This aspect has inspired many researchers to design algorithms based on phenomena in the natural world since the last couple of decades. Such algorithms are known as natural computing algorithms or nature inspired algorithms. These algorithms have established their ability to solve a large number of real-world complex problems by providing optimal solutions within the reasonable time duration. This paper presents an investigation by assessing the performance of some of the well-known natural computing algorithms with their variations. These algorithms include Genetic Algorithms, Ant Colony Optimization, River Formation Dynamics, Firefly Algorithm and Cuckoo Search. The Traveling Salesman Problem is used here as a test bed problem for performance evaluation of these algorithms. It is a kind of combinatorial optimization problem and known as one the most famous NP-Hard problems. It is simple and easy to understand, but at the same time, very difficult to find the optimal solution in a reasonable time – particularly with the increase in a number of cities. The source code for the above natural computing algorithms is developed in MATLAB R2015b and applied on several TSP instances given in TSPLIB library. Results obtained are analyzed based on various criteria such as tour length, required iterations, convergence time and quality of solutions. Conclusions derived from this analysis help to establish the superiority of Firefly Algorithms over the other algorithms in comparative terms.

Investigation of the Wave Nature of the Ukrainian Stock Market
Статья научная
In this work we concentrate on the long-term and short term cycles of Ukrainian stock market, being based on the nonlinear approach of the analysis of open systems. First, the paper gives an algorithmic model for the investigation of the nonlinear nature of stock market, which comprises five individual stages. Then, by analyzing the Hurst coefficient for the PFTS index for the Ukrainian stock market it is shown that it is persistent, i.e. contains the fractals. As the results, a parabolic function is used for the approximation of a nonlinear trend in the PFTS series. Moreover, the major tendency of the PFTS index gives the correlation trends of “blue chips”. The elimination of trends and the usage of Fourier analysis allow one to determine the long-term and short-term cycles in the index and shares. Finally, by investigating the weight of the long-term harmonics in the cyclic component of the PFTS index, the stability of Ukrainian stock market is studied in a short-time period. The application of the results involves the forecasting of the crisis points of stock market and proves the effectiveness of shareholders

In information retrieval, Question Answering (QA) is the task of answering a question posed in natural language (NL) using either a pre-structured database or a collection of natural language documents without human intervention. Question Answering systems are categorized on their available resource for answers. The domain specific Question Answering System gives more exact and correct answers than web based Question Answering system as it is limited for only one domain resource to answer. This paper proposes the closed domain Question Answering System for handling the legal documents of Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections and Indian Amendment Laws to retrieve more precise answers. This system tries to retrieve the exact answers from stored knowledge-base for the query related to Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections and Indian Amendment Laws asked by user. This Keyword based Question Answering System works on structured, unstructured and non-question form queries. The closed domain Question Answering system gives more accurate answer than other open domain system as it restricted single resource. Keywords from both queries and answer corpus play important role for extracting answer.

LMI Fuzzy Observer Design for Cryptography in Wireless Mobile Communications
Статья научная
Recently the engineering community began to seek the possibly application of chaos. The fact that the cryptographic community had used discrete pseudo-chaotic systems for a long time to generate cipher keys that leads to the initiation of applying chaos to secure communications. This paper presents a schematic design methodology for a fuzzy observer based secure communication of hyper chaotic systems in cryptographic applications. The transmitter and receiver, which are based on a 3D hyper chaotic oscillator, are synchronized by exploiting the concept on the observer from the control theory. The scalar transmitted signal is designed so that the hyper chaotic carrier masks the encrypted signal, which in turn hides the message signal. To encrypt the message signal, an n-shirt cipher with multiple key algorithms is proposed. In receiver side, the fuzzy observer of chaotic system is designed based on the general Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. This approach leads to the design of communication systems with higher security.

LabVIEW based Condition Monitoring of Induction Machines
Статья научная
This paper focuses on experimental results to prove that motor current signature analysis (MCSA) can diagnose shorted turns in low voltage stator windings of 3-phase induction motors using LabVIEW. The diagnostic strategy is presented and variables that influence the diagnosis are discussed. Current spectra from motors with short-circuited turns (with and without short circuit current limiting resistors) are presented and fully analyzed. Results from motors tested to failure are reported. The results in this paper were from industrial motors of different pole numbers with concentric and lap wound winding designs. Since stator failures account for a high percentage of failures the results are particularly relevant to industry.

Although planning techniques achieved a significant progress during recent years, solving many planning problem still difficult even for modern planners. In this paper, we will adopt landmark concept to hybrid planning setting - a method that combines reasoning about procedural knowledge and causalities. Landmarks are a well-known concept in the realm of classical planning. Recently, they have been adapted to hierarchical approaches. Such landmarks can be extracted in a pre-processing step from a declarative hierarchical planning domain and problem description. It was shown how this technique allows for a considerable reduction of the search space by eliminating futile plan development options before the actual planning. Therefore, we will present a new approach to integrate landmark pre-processing technique in the context of hierarchical planning with landmark technique in the classical planning. This integration allows to incorporate the ability of using extracted landmark tasks from hierarchical domain knowledge in the form of HTN and using landmark literals from classical planning. To this end, we will construct a transformation technique to transform the hybrid planning domain into a classical domain model. The methodologies in this paper have been implemented successfully, and we will present some experimental results that give evidence for the consid-erable performance increase gained through planning system.

Layers of Protection Analysis Using Possibility Theory
Статья научная
An important issue faced by risk analysts is how to deal with uncertainties associated with accident scenarios. In industry, one often uses single values de-rived from historical data or literature to estimate events probability or their frequency. However, both dynamic environments of systems and the need to consider rare component failures may make unrealistic this kind of data. In this paper, uncertainty encountered in Layers Of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is considered in the framework of possibility theory. Data provided by reliability databases and/or experts judgments are represented by fuzzy quantities (possibilities). The fuzzy outcome frequency is calculated by extended multiplication using α-cuts method. The fuzzy outcome is compared to a scenario risk tolerance criteria and the required reduction is obtained by resolving a possibilistic decision-making problem under necessity constraint. In order to validate the proposed model, a case study concerning the protection layers of an operational heater is carried out.

Lexicographic Strategic Games' Nonstandard Analysis
Статья научная
A new concept of a mixed strategy is given for m-dimensional lexicographic noncooperative Γ(Γ^0,Γ^1,...,Γ^(m-1)) game when on a set of pure strategies m-dimensional probability distributions are given. In this case each Γ^k(k=0,1,...,m-1) criteria of Γ game corresponds to its probability distributions on sets of pure strategies. Besides, a lexicographic m-dimensional order relation is given on set of -dimensional probability distribution. The given construction is made by the methodology of nonstandard analysis Therefore, the given mixed strategy is called a nonstandard mixed strategy, and a lexicographic game in such strategies is called a nonstandard mixed extension. An equilibrium situation in mixed strategies is defined in Γ game. A nonstandard mixed extension of lexicographic matrix games is studied thoroughly. In such games, necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence of a saddle point are proved. The analyzed examples show that if in a lexicographic matrix game doesn’t exist a saddle point in standard mixed strategies then a saddle point maybe doesn’t exist in nonstandard mixed strategies. If in a lexicographic matrix game doesn’t exist a saddle point in standard mixed strategies then there can be existed a saddle point in nonstandard mixed strategies. Thus, lexicographic games’ nonstandard mixed distribution is a generalization of a standard mixed extension.
