Abstract: We deal with consensus reaching, and its related decision support system. We assume that consensus reaching proceeds in a small group of agents who shows their preferences with respect to a set of options. We propose an approach based on the cost of reaching the consensus in the sense of evaluation of preference updating, based on psychological and sociological reasons. We use a model with nonlinear functions representing human behaviour over the interaction of some endogenous and exogenous forces.

Keywords: group decision making, consensus, psychology of opinion change, cost function

Abstract: The main target of this research is to introduce a new way of thinking in a special field of logistic processes. This process is the inbounding process in a simple general type warehouse. The methodology chosen is the use of multicomponent fuzzy descriptors: signatures and situational maps, as they properly reflect the uncertain and sometimes non-deterministic nature of the conditions and constraints in this problem class. Our intention is to reach an optimal, or at least as close as possible to optimal warehouse layout for any given case.

Keywords: warehouse layout, fuzzy situational maps, warehouse inbounding process

Abstract: Brachytherapy (BT) is a procedure used to treat cancer by inserting needles into a patient to deliver radioactive sources direct to the tumour tissue. The efficiency of the procedure is determined by the number of needles inserted and by the precision of the trajectories of the needles. This paper presents an approach for needle insertion trajectory planning for a BT parallel robot based on a genetic algorithm. Given the locations of the seeds points and the 3D virtual model of the treatement area, the proposed solver allows to minimize the number of inserted needles and to define needles trajectoris that avoid high risk areas.

Keywords: robotic brachytherapy, optimization, genetic alghorytm.

Abstract: The security of distributed Ethernet-based industrial networks is critical, as vulnerabilities of these systems could affect national resources, civilians and the environment. Next-generation firewalls combine application awareness and deep packet inspection to give companies more control over applications while also detecting and blocking security threats. While most industry solutions are physical deployments of industrial switches with firewall capabilities, we propose a network security implementation of distributed middleboxes, dynamically deployed as Linux Containers and centrally managed by a controller, based on Software Defined Networks.

A Note on Coverings by Radial Rule Bases

David Coufal

Department of Nonlinear Dynamics and Complex Systems of the Institute of Computer Science AS CR, Pod Vodárenskou věží 2, 182 07 Prague 8, Czech Republic (e-mail: david.coufal@cs.cas.cz).

Abstract The paper discusses covering of an input space by a rule base of a radial fuzzy system. We address the question of what is the minimal degree of firing of a radial rule base across the input space? This minimal degree is called the degree of covering (DOC). For radial rule bases, a search for the DOC leads to a constrained optimization problem. This generally hard problem can be eased by passing to convex optimization, however, for the price of obtaining only a lower bound for DOC.

Keywords: radial fuzzy systems, convex optimization maketitle

Thanks to a clear, near intuitive interpretation, the practical implementation of this method is very simple and it can easily be modified or generalized depending on the individual needs of atypical applications. In particular, conditioning variables can be taken into account – not only continuous (real), but also binary, discrete and categorized, or any of their combinations.

Keywords: conditional quantile; nonparametric estimation; conditioning variables of continuous, binary, discrete and categorized types; numerical algorithm

Abstract: The study was aimed at verifying the existence of a global innovation process by applying Latent Growth Curve Modelling to a short time series of key field indicators. Setting a matrix of time series in the form of a structural model enabled testing functional forms of the processes’ dynamics and verifying its dependence on initial levels of the analysed measures. The study unveiled a growth tendency of innovation indicators, pointing to varying functional forms of change, and relations with the initial level of the process. The method also underlined a lack of homogeneity in measurement techniques for innovation statistics.

Abstract: Classification of data streams is currently a very important task. Datasets characterized by constant influx of data are predominantly massive and often have various types of features. Even more challenging is to classify evolving streams. Various approaches have been proposed to deal with this problem. In this paper we will present a new method based on mixture of genetic programming and rule-based classifier designed for that task. The motivation for choosing this approach is provided by the fact that tree-like structures are easy to understand and interpret. What is more continuous generation and optimization of rules reminds real-life scenario, where changing conditions cause natural selection and adaptation. The approach was preliminarily tested on data sets that are changing in time and have heterogeneous features.

Keywords: data streams, rule-based classifier, genetic programming, heterogeneous features, concept drift


Generation of Software Tests on the Basis of Cause-Effect Graphs

József Sziray

Széchenyi University, Department of Informatics, Egyetem tér 1, H-9026 Győr, Hungary E-mail: sziray@sze.hu

Abstract: Cause-effect graphs are applied for preparing efficient functional tests for software. A graph established on the basis of the software specification is required to be evaluated. The evaluation results in the test cases consisting of the Boolean-logic combinations of causes. A cause-effect graph is equivalent with a combinational logic network. This paper presents an exact algorithm for producing the test cases of the software. The algorithm applies a three-valued Boolean algebra, and is based on the successive justification of logic values in a combinational logic network, where the primary inputs are the causes, and the primary outputs are the effects. The computations are performed by traversing a decision tree, where backtracking is required if a decision leads to a logic contradiction. The main advantage of the algorithm is that it reduces the number of decisions to a great extent by using don’t care values in the process. The calculation principle is comparatively simple. It is based only on successive line-value justification, and it yields an opportunity to be realized by an efficient computer program. The logic model introduced in the paper is completely general, in that it is applicable to any kind of cause-effect graphs, without any constraint. The final part of the paper is concerned with the computational complexity of the presented algorithm.

Keywords: Software testing, cause-effect graphs, three-valued Boolean algebra, combinational logic networks, line-value justification, computational complexity.

Abstract: Computational tasks involving intelligent agents often need to process complex structured information. The way of describing this information greatly influences the performance of the agent. Therefore, a big issue is how the complex data describing that valuable information is not lose while it can also be processed in tractable time. Fuzzy signatures and their multidimensional geometric extension, fuzzy situational maps, are used to describe such complex structured data. These problems are examined in the context of a cooperative mobile robot task and a new method is developed for the simplified describing and processing of the complex inner relations in fuzzy situational maps. This paper mainly deals with the fundamentals of this method.

Keywords: fuzzy signature, fuzzy situational map, node relation.

Széchenyi István University, Egyetem sqr. 1., H-9026 Győr, Hungary 1Dept. of Information Technology E-mail: miklos.hatwagner@sze.hu 2Dept. of Automation E-mail: koczy@sze.hu

Abstract: Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) is a powerful tool to analyze and model the behavior of complex systems. One of the most important elements of FCM is the connection matrix. This square matrix describes the direction and weight of the connections between the different parts (called concepts in FCM theory) of the modeled system. If the number of concepts is only 5-10, the model is clear and easy to use. However in some cases the whole system cannot be described with so many concepts to achieve the appropriate accuracy. The increased number of concepts helps to make the model more accurate but makes the model complicated as well, therefore confusing and less usable. Sometimes it is not obvious at first sight for the modelers, which concepts are really important and which ones are not. The state reduction methods described in this paper can help to reduce the number of concepts in FCM models and keep the accuracy at an acceptable level.

Keywords: Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, state reduction

Abstract: The historic district of Budapest, Hungary that was mainly developed before the Second World War consists of urban-type residential houses. The external view of these buildings indicates that the physical condition of these houses are acceptable, however, a thorough professional examination may contradict to this supposition at the same time. Among others, the absence of any effective decision support tool that helps the owners in determining the refurbishment chain hinders the retrofit of such old residential houses. This paper represents a new formal method and approach for generating such tool that considers the costs and feasibilities of alternative refurbishment solutions with professional data obtained from building diagnostics surveys and official contractors’ billing database.

Uncertainty Models in Ontology Management

L. Kovács

University Miskolc, Department of Information Technology Miskolc-Egyetemvaros, 3515, Hungary E-mail: kovacs@iit.uni-miskolc.hu

Abstract: The knowledge base is the kernel module of any intelligent information systems. The main tool in knowledge representation is ontology which is used to perform an explicit conceptualization of the problem domain. A unique characteristic in modelling of agent's knowledge is the representation of subjective knowledge. This model may contain some uncertainty factors. This paper provides a survey on the different uncertainty models and presents a new vector-valued representation formalism for truth values. The proposed model is tested in an implementation developed in the OWL ontology language.

Keywords: ontology, uncertainty representations, many-valued logic


On Possibilistic Portfolio Selection Models

1 Óbuda University, Institute of Applied Mathematics Bécsi út 96/b, H-1034 Budapest, Hungary E-mail: fuller.robert@nik.uni-obuda.hu

Abstract: We consider optimal portfolio selection problems in a possibilistic setting. Using the possibilistic framework, we can integrate more efficiently the experts’ knowledge and the investors’ subjective opinions into a portfolio selection model. In 2002 Carlsson, Fulle´r and Majlender considered portfolio selection problems under trapezoidal possibility distributions and presented an algorithm of complexity O(n3) for finding an exact optimal solution to the n-asset portfolio selection problem. In this paper we will give a short survey of some works, which extend and develop this possibilistic portfolio selection model.

Abstract: From the point of view of the sustainability of the building stock it is significant to be aware of the condition of the load bearing structures. In general the assessment of condition is done by visual inspection in the case of residential buildings therefore the experts assessing the condition of buildings have only limited information. Thus the assessment of an expert is subjective, which might cause the inaccuracy of the assessment. Two fuzzy logic based models have been created for qualifying the buildings. Sensibility of buildings was examined, to see to what extent the final assessment changes upon slight changes of input values.

Keywords: decision support, fuzzy signatures, real-fuzzy sets

Abstract: The EU Waste Management Strategy’s requirements emphasize waste prevention; recycling and reuse; and improving final disposal and monitoring. Integrated waste management system (IWMS) can be defined as the selection and application of suitable and available techniques, technologies and management programs to achieve waste management objectives and goals. In this paper, the concept of ‘key drivers’ are defined as factors that change the status quo of an existing waste management system in either positive or negative direction. Due to the complexity and uncertainty occurring in sustainable waste management systems, we propose the use of the Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) approach to support the planning and decision making process of integrated systems.

Abstract: In several areas – in absence of optical networks – telecommunications compa- nies have to provide digital services with high data transfer rate using copper wire based cables of the telephone network. These telephone networks are not evolved for broadband communications technologies, thus, using them, current demands can be satisfied only within certain limits. These limits, e.g. the maximal available data transfer rate that can be reached by using a certain wire pair (line), have to be known by the service providers. The process which is used to produce this information is called performance evaluation (or pre- qualification). In this paper we represent a novel, fuzzy based performance evaluation method for SHDSL connections of telecommunications access networks which uses measured electrical line parameters and which reliability exceeds the reliability of other, generally used methods.

Abstract: This paper reviews two major data-consumers: Complex Event Processing and Machine Learning. Although they have different targets and outputs, they are complementary rather than competing technologies. CEP, through its rich set of operations, may contribute to data integration and data cleansing, which is a vital part of ML process. On the other hand, ML produces inferential models which can be further integrated as user-defined functions in CEP workflows. The ML paradigm enriches CEP by its different vision: the models are data-driven and produce insights which may be hard to be detected, even by experienced human experts.

Abstract The new modeling approach presented in the previous paper is formulated as an original three-step algorithm that maps the signatures onto expert systems. The algorithm has two inputs represented by the knowledge base (the rules) and the data base (the facts). The algorithm constructs the signatures which represent expert system models. This paper is organized as follows: a short overview on signatures and on their operators is presented in the next Section. Section 1 validates the theoretical approach by two case studies focused on the construction of models of a deterministic and of a Bayesian expert system. The conclusions are outlined in Section 5.
