Rule-based expert systems must deal with uncertain data,subjective expert opinions, and inaccurate decision rules. Computer scientistsand psychologists have proposed and implemented a number of belief languages widely used in applied systems, and their normative validity is clearly an important...

This article addresses the challenge of managing uncertainty when producing estimative intelligence. Much of the theory and practice of estimative intelligence aims to eliminate or reduce uncertainty, but this is often impossible or infeasible. This article instead argues that the goal of...

Cluster tools (also referred to as robotic cells) are extensively used in semiconductor wafer fabrication. We consider the problem of scheduling operations in an m-machine cluster tool that produces identical parts (wafers). Each machine is equipped with a unit-capacity input buffer and a...

The large-amplitude-oscillation experiment was carried out with two levels of freedom to provide data. Based on the wind tunnel data, polynomial regression, least-square support vector machines and radial basis function neural networks are studied and compared in this paper. An improved model...

This paper discusses development and application of a decomposition neural network rule extraction algorithm for nonlinear regression problems. The algorithm is called the piece-wise linear artificial neural network or PWL-ANN algorithm. The objective of the algorithm is to “open up” the...

Considered the cooperation of the container truck and quayside container crane in the container terminal, this paper constructs the model of the quay cranes operation and trucks scheduling problem in the container terminal. And the hybrid intelligence swarm algorithm combined the particle swarm...

Computational information conservation theory (CICT) can help us to develop competitive applications and even advanced quantum cognitive computational application and systems towards deep computational cognitive intelligence. CICT new awareness of a discrete HG (hyperbolic geometry) subspace...

In order to improve the efficiency of container terminals, eliminate the empty quay cranes movements, the simultaneous loading and unloading operations in same ship-bay is advanced. The AFSA-GA algorithm is proposed to solve the mixed integer programming model of the dual-cycle operation, which...
