In this article, a set of key management indicators related to performance of execution, planning, costs, effectiveness, human resources, data quality, and logistics, are considered for the evaluation of a project. Several automated tools support project managers in this task. However, these tools are still insufficient to accurately assess projects in organizations with continuous improvement management styles and with presence of uncertainty in the primary data. An alternative solution is the introduction of soft computing techniques, allowing gains in robustness, efficiency, and adaptability in these tools. This paper presents an adaptivenetwork- based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to optimize projects evaluation made with the Xedro-GESPRO tool. The implementation of the system allowed the adjustment of fuzzy sets parameters in the inference rules for the assessment of projects, based on the automatic calculation of indicators. The contribution of this research lies in the application of ANFIS soft computing technique to optimize the evaluation of projects integrated with the management tool. The results contribute to the improvement of existing decision-making support tools into organizations towards project-oriented production.

Ball And Beam System

This article derives a mathematical model and compares different soft-computing techniques for control of a highly dynamic ball and beam system. The techniques which were incorporated for control of proposed system were fuzzy logic, proportional-integral-derivative (PID), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and neural networks. Initially, a fuzzy controller has been developed using seven gaussian shape membership functions. The article illustrates briefly both learning ability and parameter estimation properties of ANFIS and neural controllers. The results of PID controller were collected and used for training of ANFIS and Neural controllers. A Matlab simulink model of a ball and beam system has been derived for simulating and comparing different controllers. The performances of controllers were measured and compared in terms of settling time and steady state error. Simulation results proved the superiority of ANFIS over other control techniques.

In industry, the capability to predict the tool point frequency response function (FRF) is an essential matter in order to ensure the stability of cutting processes. Fast and accurate identification of contact parameters in spindle-holder-tool assemblies is very important issue in machining dynamics analysis. This work is an attempt to illustrate the utility of soft computing techniques in identification and prediction contact parameters of spindle-holder-tool assemblies. In this paper, three soft computing techniques, namely, genetic algorithm (GA), simulated annealing (SA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) were used for identification of contact dynamics in spindle-holder-tool assemblies. In order to verify the proposed identification approaches, numerical and experimental analysis of the spindle-holder-tool assembly was carried out and the results are presented. Finally, a model based on the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was used to predict the dynamical contact parameters at the holder-tool interface of a spindle-holder-tool assembly. Accuracy and performance of the ANFIS model has been found to be satisfactory while validated with experimental results.

A study is presented for detection and diagnostics of cracked rotors using soft computing techniques like adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), artificial neural networks (ANN) and genetic algorithms (GA). A simple model for a cracked rotor is used to simulate its transient response during startup for different levels of cracks. The transient response is processed through continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to extract time-frequency features for the normal and cracked conditions of the rotor. Several features including the wavelet energy distributions and the grey moment vectors (GMV) of the CWT scalograms are used as inputs for diagnosis of crack level. The parameters of the classifiers, ANFIS and ANN, along with the features from wavelet energy distribution and grey moment vectors are selected using GA maximizing the diagnostic success. The classifiers are trained with a subset of the data with known crack levels and tested using the other set of data (testing data), not used in training. The procedure is illustrated using the simulation data of a simple de Laval rotor with a ‘breathing’ crack for different crack levels during run-up through its critical speed. A comparison of diagnostic performance for the classifiers is presented. Results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach in detection and diagnosis of cracked rotors.

The technique by which an image or photograph is divided into several number of parts in order to analyze the segmented components such as colors, textures grey scale and edges/boundaries of the entities which are present in the image is called as image segmentations. Images obtained by segmentation methods are more understandable as compared to the original images. In the digital snap shot segmentation is essentially used to detect object boundaries present in the image. The paper presents the comparative analysis of image segmentation using soft computing methods.In this paper, we included genetic algorithm, ant colony algorithm, neural network, neuro-fuzzy genetic and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. The techniques are tested on six standard test images. The peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR)is calculated for GA and ACO techniques. The results which are obtained by the above techniques prove that the value of PSNR for GA is much more as compared to the ACO technique

AbstractThis study presents the application of soft computing techniques, namely, as multiple regressions (MRs), neural networks (NNs), genetic programming (GP), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for modeling of compressive strength of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) confined concrete cylinders. The proposed soft computing models are based on experimental results collected from literature. They represent the ultimate strength of concrete cylinders after confinement with CFRP composites, which is in terms of diameter and height of the cylindrical specimen, ultimate circumferential strain in the CFRP jacket, elastic modulus of CFRP, unconfined concrete strength, and total thickness of CFRP layer used. The accuracy of the proposed soft computing models is very satisfactory compared to experimental results. Moreover, the results of proposed soft computing models are compared with five models existing in the literature proposed by various researchers so far and are found to be, by far, more accurate.

The rise in freight passenger transportation is responsible for air pollution, green house gas emissions (especially CO2) and high fuel demand. New engine technology and fuels are discovered and tested throughout the world. Biodiesel, an alternative for diesel, has been seen as a solution. However, the amount of emissions generated by a biodiesel fueled vehicle has not been understood well since most research studies of this kind reported in the literature were conducted in the laboratory. In the present study, emissions (NOx, HC, CO, CO2 and PM) were measured from biodiesel fueled transit buses using an on-road emissions measuring device known as the Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS). On-road study is important in terms of understanding the amount of emissions generated under the real traffic and environmental conditions. Emissions were measured on buses fueled with regular diesel (B0), B10 blend (10% biodiesel + 90% diesel) and B20 blend (20% biodiesel + 80% diesel). This paper demonstrates the use of hybrid soft-computing techniques such as the neuro-fuzzy technique for developing emissions prediction models from real-world data. Hybrid soft-computing techniques have been shown to work well in handling data prone to noise and uncertainty, which is characteristic of real-world scenario. Two neuro-fuzzy methodologies were considered in this study: the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and the Dynamic Evolving Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (DENFIS). A brief review of model development, recommended parametric settings, and statistical evaluation of prediction performance of both techniques are discussed. In general, the ANFIS showed better prediction accuracy for the individual emissions compared to DENFIS although the prediction accuracies are comparable.

Permeability index is a crucial productivity indicator of the lower zone in blast furnaces to maintain the operation, energy consumption, and hot liquid metal production rates during the ironmaking process. Blast furnace operation parameters such as coke-to-ore ratio, wall pressures and temperatures, flame temperature, top gas pressure, temperature and composition, hot blast pressure and temperature, sounding levels, etc. and also the level of hot liquid metal and slag in the bottom of furnace, influence the permeability phenomenon directly. Hence, fluctuations and instantenous variations of permeability index parameter should be avoided by controlling inadequate drainage cycles and operational factors to achieve more efficient and stable operation in the furnaces. In this study, permeability index parameter of the Erdemir Blast Furnace #1, located in Turkey, is modeled and experimental computing work is carried out to assess the operation performance of the furnace, depending on selected input parameters. The demanding artificial intelligence and soft computing techniques, artificial neural networks and adaptive neural fuzzy inference system, and a well-known statistical tool, autoregressive integrated moving average model are executed throughout the study using previous furnace data, received during one day of operation. Selected performance measures, coefficient of determination ( R2) and root mean squared error, are used to compare the forecasting accuracy of proposed models. Consequently, the most satisfactory forecasting model of the study, adaptive neural fuzzy inference system, is proposed to be integrated into the plant control system as an expert modeler.

Lake water temperature is one of the key parameters in determining the ecological conditions within a lake, as it influences both chemical and biological processes. Therefore, accurate prediction of water temperature is crucially important for lake management. In this paper, the performance of soft computing techniques including gene expression programming (GEP), which is a variant of genetic programming (GP), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict hourly water temperature at a buoy station in the Yuan-Yang Lake (YYL) in north-central Taiwan at various measured depths was evaluated. To evaluate the performance of the soft computing techniques, three different statistical indicators were used, including the root mean squared error (RMSE), the mean absolute error (MAE), and the coefficient of correlation (R). Results showed that the GEP had the best performances among other studied methods in the prediction of hourly water temperature at 0, 2 and 3 meter depths below water surface, but there was a different trend in the 1 meter depth below water surface. In this depth, the ANN had better accuracy than the GEP and ANFIS. Despite the error (RMSE value) is smaller in ANN than GEP, there is an upper bound in scatter plot of ANN that imposes a constant value, which is not suitable for predictive purposes. As a conclusion, results from the current study demonstrated that GEP provided moderately reasonable trends for the prediction of hourly water temperature in different depths. ResumenLa temperatura del agua es uno de los parámetros básicos para determinar las condiciones ecológicas de un lago, ya que está influenciada por procesos químicos y biológicos. Además, la exactitud en la predicción de la temperatura del agua es esencial para el manejo del lago. En este artículo se evalúa el desempeño de técnicas de soft computing como la Programación de Expresiones de Genes (PEG), que es una variante de la Programación Genética (PG), el Sistema Neuro-fuzzy de Inferencia Adaptativa (Anfis, en inglés) y las Redes Neuronales Artificiales (RNA) para predecir la temperatura del agua en diferentes niveles de una estación flotante del lago Yuan-Yang (YYL), en el centro-norte de Taiwán. Se utilizaron tres indicadores estadísticos, el Error Cuadrático Medio (ECM), el Error Absoluto Medio (MAE, en inglés) y el Coeficiente de Correlación (R) para evaluar el desempeño de las técnicas de computación. Los resultados muestran que la PEG es más exacta en la predicción de la temperatura del agua entre 0,2 y 3 metros de profundidad. Sin embargo, se evidencia una tendencia diferente a partir del metro de profundidad. A esta distancia de la superficie, las RNA son más exactas que la PEG y el Anfis. Los resultados de este estudio probaron claramente la usabilidad del PEG y las RNA en la predicción de la temperatura del agua a diferentes profundidades.

Most already advanced developed heating control systems remain either in a prototype state (because of their relatively complex implementation requirements) or require very specific technologies not implementable in most existing buildings. On the other hand, the above-mentioned analysis has also pointed out that most smart building energy management systems deploy quite very basic heating control strategies limited to quite simplistic predesigned use-case scenarios. In the present paper, we propose a heating control strategy taking advantage of the overall identification of the living space by taking advantage of the consideration of the living space users’ presence as additional thermal sources. To handle this, an adaptive controller for the operation of heating transmitters on the basis of soft computing techniques by taking into account the diverse range of occupants in the heating chain is introduced. The strategy of the controller is constructed on a basis of the modeling heating dynamics of living spaces by considering occupants as an additional heating source. The proposed approach for modeling the heating dynamics of living spaces is on the basis of time series prediction by a multilayer perceptron neural network, and the controlling strategy regarding the heating controller takes advantage of a Fuzzy Inference System with the Takagi-Sugeno model. The proposed approach has been implemented for facing the dynamic heating conduct of a real five-floor building’s living spaces located at Senart Campus of University Paris-Est Créteil, taking into account the occupants of spaces in the control chain. The obtained results assessing the efficiency and adaptive functionality of the investigated fuzzy controller designed model-based approach are reported and discussed.

The real-time nondestructive testing (NDT) for crack detection and impact source identification (CDISI) has attracted the researchers from diverse areas. This is apparent from the current work in the literature. CDISI has usually been performed by visual assessment of waveforms generated by a standard data acquisition system. In this paper we suggest an automation of CDISI for metal armor plates using a soft computing approach by developing a fuzzy inference system to effectively deal with this problem. It is also advantageous to develop a chip that can contribute towards real time CDISI. The objective of this paper is to report on efforts to develop an automated CDISI procedure and to formulate a technique such that the proposed method can be easily implemented on a chip. The CDISI fuzzy inference system is developed using MATLAB’s fuzzy logic toolbox. A VLSI circuit for CDISI is developed on basis of fuzzy logic model using Verilog, a hardware description language (HDL). The Xilinx ISE WebPACK9.1i is used for design, synthesis, implementation, and verification. The CDISI field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation is done using Xilinx’s Spartan 3 FPGA. SynaptiCAD’s Verilog Simulators—VeriLogger PRO and ModelSim—are used as the software simulation and debug environment.
