6. Hierarchical Storage Model and Priority Ranking Method of Rules in Rule-based Reasoning System
Yushu Lai, Yan Xiong
Pages: 676 - 685
It is very difficult to create the fault trees based on components framework for some complex equipment. So a multi-hierarchy diagnosis method based on fault categories is proposed in this paper. The according storage model of rules is designed, and the concept of rule priority is introduced. Then, a...

7. Construction of fuzzy edge image using Interval Type II fuzzy set
Tamalika Chaira, A. K. Ray
Pages: 686 - 695
In this paper, a novel method to generate fuzzy edges in medical images using the Type II fuzzy set theory is presented. Medical images are normally poorly illuminated and many edges are not visible properly, so construction of fuzzy edge image is a difficult task. Fuzzy edges are not the binary edges...

8. A Synthesizing Effect-Based Solution Method for Stochastic Rough Multi-objective Programming Problems
Lei Zhou, Guoshan Zhang, Fachao Li
Pages: 696 - 705
Multi-objective programming with uncertain information has been widely applied in modeling of industrial produce and logistic distribution problems. Usually the expectation value model and chance-constrained model as solution models are used to deal with such uncertain programming. In this paper, we...

9. An improved comprehensive evaluation model and its application
Wenyi Zeng, Shuang Feng
Pages: 706 - 714
Since comprehensive evaluation model was introduced by Wang in 1984, the comprehensive evaluation model has many successful applications in real life. But some examples show the inefficiency of the comprehensive evaluation model. In order to process these problems, in this paper, we introduce two concepts...

10. Software Fault Estimation Framework based on aiNet
Qian Yin, Ruiyi Luo, Ping Guo
Pages: 715 - 723
Software fault prediction techniques are helpful in developing dependable software. In this paper, we proposed a novel framework that integrates testing and prediction process for unit testing prediction. Because high fault prone metrical data are much scattered and multi-centers can represent the whole...
