The Individual

It is a well known fact that the weakest link in a cyber secure system is the people who configure, manage or use it. Security breaches are persistently being attributed to human error. Social engineered based attacks are becoming more sophisticated to such an extent where they are becoming increasingly more difficult to detect. Companies implement strong security policies as well as provide specific training for employees to minimise phishing attacks, however these practices rely on the individual adhering to them. This paper explores fuzzy logic and in particular a Mamdani type fuzzy inference system to determine an employees susceptibility to phishing attacks. To negate and identify the susceptibility levels of employees to social engineering attacks a Fuzzy Inference System FIS was created through the use of fuzzy logic. The utilisation of fuzzy logic is a novel way in determining susceptibility due to its ability to resemble human reasoning in order to solve complex inputs, or its Interpretability and simplicity to be able to compute with words. This proposed fuzzy inference system is based on a number of criteria which focuses on attributes relating to the individual employee as well as a companies practices and procedures and through this an extensive rule base was designed. The proposed scoring mechanism is a first attempt towards a holistic solution. To accurately predict an employees susceptibility to phishing attacks will in any future system require a more robust and relatable set of human characteristics in relation to the employee and the employer.

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.

Software is a basic system that acts as a major key part in general functioning system like securing the need of performance and scope of the system. Here the security is given to unauthorized user as unauthorized client that casually gets the change or modification within the system by effecting the efficiency and functionality of the system. So in order to overcome this issue new improved software is taken that improves the system performance and security. the paper represents a new fuzzy logic based system for handling secured attribute and assessment in software. Based on this reason we propose PC1 and bugs dataset for fuzzy inference system can be used. This secured system model helps software engineers to select secured and safety software for the performance and ambiguity.

Ekstraksi pola pembuluh darah retina dapat dimanfaatkan dalam sistem biometrik sebagai otentikasi keamanan. Citra hasil ekstraksi pola pembuluh darah retina dapat dimasukkan ke dalam fitur untuk identifikasi sistem biometrik. Salah satu metode yang dapat dilakukan untuk melakukan segmentasi pembuluh darah retina adalah metode fuzzy logic. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan ekstraksi pembuluh darah citra fundus retina menggunakan implementasi fuzzy logic. Peneliti menggunakan sejumlah 20 citra fundus yang diperoleh dari dataset DRIVE berformat .tif. Proses segmentasi dimulai dengan tahap preprocessing yang berisikan konversi citra menjadi grayscale, median filtering, perataan histogram CLAHE, dan eliminasi optic disc, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pembuatan fuzzy inference system. Tahapan preprocessing yang digunakan merupakan hasil dari rangkaian uji coba peneliti dengan melihat hasil dari setiap uji coba yang dilakukan, sehingga mendapatkan citra yang menonjolkan fitur pembuluh darah dan menghilangkan noise atau fitur retina yang tidak diperlukan seperti optic disc. Uji coba segmentasi dilakukan pada Polyspace R2020a sebagai media untuk menjalankan program mulai dari preprocessing hingga segmentasi menggunakan fuzzy logic. Keluaran dari segmentasi ini berupa citra segmentasi hasil dari metode fuzzy logic dan crisp value. Metode fuzzy logic berhasil diterapkan untuk melakukan ekstraksi pembuluh darah retina dan menghasilkan crisp value. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu fitur sistem identifikasi biometrik retina.

Wind energy has been developed and is widely used as a clean and renewable form of energy. Among the existing variety of wind turbines, variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbines have become popular owing to their variable output power capability. In this study, a hybrid control strategy is proposed to implement pitch angle control. A new nonlinear hybrid control approach based on the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System and fuzzy logic control is proposed to regulate the pitch angle and maintain the captured mechanical energy at the rated value. In the controller, the reference value of the pitch angle is predicted by the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System according to the wind speed and the blade tip speed ratio. A proposed fuzzy logic controller provides feedback based on the captured power to modify the pitch angle in real time. The effectiveness of the proposed hybrid pitch angle control method was verified on a 5 MW offshore wind turbine under two different wind conditions using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results showed that fluctuations in rotor speed were dramatically mitigated, and the captured mechanical power was always near the rated value as compared with the performance when using the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System alone. The variation rate of power was 0.18% when the proposed controller was employed, whereas it was 2.93% when only an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System was used.

Reasoning Technique

A search in the literature reveals that the use of fuzzy inference system (FIS) in criterion-referenced assessment (CRA) is not new. However, literature describing how an FIS-based CRA can be implemented in practice is scarce. Besides, for an FIS-based CRA, a large set of fuzzy rules is required and it is a rigorous work in obtaining a full set of rules. The aim of this chapter is to propose an FIS-based CRA procedure that incorporated with a rule selection and a similarity reasoning technique, i.e., analogical reasoning (AR) technique, as a solution for this problem. AR considers an antecedent with an unknown consequent as an observation, and it deduces a conclusion (as a prediction of the consequent) for the observation based on the incomplete fuzzy rule base. A case study conducted in Universiti Malaysia Sarawak is further reported.

Complex fuzzy theory has strong practical background in many important applications, especially in decision-making support systems. Recently, the Mamdani Complex Fuzzy Inference System (M-CFIS) has been introduced as an effective tool for handling events that are not restricted to only values of a given time point but also include all values within certain time intervals (i.e., the phase term). In such decision-making problems, the complex fuzzy theory allows us to observe both the amplitude and phase values of an event, thus resulting in better performance. However, one of the limitations of the existing M-CFIS is the rule base that may be redundant to a specific dataset. In order to handle the problem, we propose a new Mamdani Complex Fuzzy Inference System with Rule Reduction Using Complex Fuzzy Measures in Granular Computing called M-CFIS-R. Several fuzzy similarity measures such as Complex Fuzzy Cosine Similarity Measure (CFCSM), Complex Fuzzy Dice Similarity Measure (CFDSM), and Complex Fuzzy Jaccard Similarity Measure (CFJSM) together with their weighted versions are proposed. Those measures are integrated into the M-CFIS-R system by the idea of granular computing such that only important and dominant rules are being kept in the system. The difference and advantage of M-CFIS-R against M-CFIS is the usage of the training process in which the rule base is repeatedly changed toward the original base set until the performance is better. By doing so, the new rule base in M-CFIS-R would improve the performance of the whole system. Experiments on various decision-making datasets demonstrate that the proposed M-CFIS-R performs better than M-CFIS.
