Occupancy-based heating control is effective in reducing heating energy by preventing unnecessary heating during unoccupied period. Various technologies on detecting human occupancy have been developed using complicated machine learning algorithm and stochastic methodologies. This study aims at deriving low-cost and simple algorithm of occupancy inference that can be implemented to residential buildings. The core concept of the algorithm is to combine the occupancy probabilities based on indoor CO2 concentration and PIR(passive infrared) signals. The probability was estimated by applying different levels of decrement ratio depending on CO2 concentration change rate and aggregated PIR signals. The developed algorithm was validated by comparing the inference results with the occupancy schedule in a real residential building. The results showed that the inference algorithm can achieve the accuracy of 75~99%, which would be successfully implemented to the control of residential heating systems.

Many people all over the world have been conducting a great deal of research to solve the problem of global warming since the great majority consider reduction of CO2 as the only solution for that. That is why the production and conservation of energy is thought to be highly crucial. while it is important to produce energy with the high efficiency, the efficient use of the energy is also important. This paper focused on the development of devices for the reducing electricity which is a primary energy source used in homes, shops, buildings, factories and so on. Also the objective of this paper is to develop the inference mechanism as the core component of the devices. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the inference algorithm for reducing the electricity consumption using SARIMA mode and present the feasibility of the procedure.

A design methodology of interval type-2 fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm-based fuzzy inference systems (IT2FCMFIS) is introduced in this paper. An interval type-2 fuzzy c-means (IT2FCM) clustering algorithm is developed to generate the fuzzy rules in the form of the scatter partition of input space. And the individual partitioned spaces describe the fuzzy rules equal to the number of clusters. The consequence part of the rule is represented by polynomial functions with interval set. To optimally construct of fuzzy model we exploit real-coded genetic algorithms with successive optimization. The proposed model is evaluated through the numeric experimentation.

In order to solve such problems as background noise amplification, excessive image edge enhancement and ring effect in the output image caused by the difficulty of the existing self-adaption image enhancement algorithm in identifying the smooth and fine areas of an image, a self-adaption image enhancement algorithm based on rule fuzzy inference system is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the pixel field of the image to be enhanced is locally and statically analyzed to obtain the low-frequency component of the image; secondly, five logic rules are defined and meanwhile the local statistical information is combined with the local standard deviation to establish the rule fuzzy inference system so as to calculate the contrast gain factor and accordingly complete the self-adaption enhancement of the image and optimize the pixel field dimension. The simulation result shows: compared with existing contrast enhancement technology, the proposed technology has better visual enhancement effect and can obviously eliminate ring effect.

Localization is one of the most important research topics in the wireless sensor network applications. To improve the indoor localization accuracy, the centroid localization algorithm based on Mamdani fuzzy system has been adopted to attain the weight between sensor node and anchor node. This paper proposes a novel optimized input membership function by bat algorithm in fuzzy inference system using the data of received signal strength in real indoor condition. The author has realized the algorithm on Zigbee platform and the experimental comparison on other different centroid localization algorithms indicates that Mamdani fuzzy inference adopting the membership function optimized by bat algorithm renders smaller mean localization errors.

The objective of this paper is to apply Extended AND-OR Graph (EAOG)-related techniques to extract knowledge from a specific problem-domain and perform analysis in complicated decision making area. Expert systems use expertise about a specific domain as their primary source of solving problems belonging to that domain. However, such expertise is complicated as well as uncertain, because most knowledge is expressed in causal relationships between concepts or variables. Therefore, if expert systems can be used effectively to provide more intelligent support for decision making in complicated specific problems, it should be equipped with real-time inference mechanism. We develop two kinds of EAOG-driven inference mechanisms(1) EAOG-based forward chaining and (2) EAOG-based backward chaining. and The EAOG method processes the following three characteristics. 1. Real-time inference : The EAOG inference mechanism is suitable for the real-time inference because its computational mechanism is based on matrix computation. 2. Matrix operation : All the subjective knowledge is delineated in a matrix form, so that inference process can proceed based on the matrix operation which is computationally efficient. 3. Bi-directional inference : Traditional inference method of expert systems is based on either forward chaining or backward chaining which is mutually exclusive in terms of logical process and computational efficiency. However, the proposed EAOG inference mechanism is generically bi-directional without loss of both speed and efficiency.

This paper proposes a self tuning fuzzy inference method by the genetic algorithm in the fuzzy-sliding mode control for a robot. Using this method, the number of inference rules and the shape of membership functions are optimized without an expert in robotics. The fuzzy outputs of the consequent part are updated by the gradient descent method. And, it is guaranteed that he selected solution become the global optimal solution by optimizing the Akaikes information criterion expressing the quality of the inference rules. The trajectory tracking simulation and experiment of the polishing robot show that the optimal fuzzy inference rules are automatically selected by the genetic algorithm and the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode controller provides reliable tracking performance during the polishing process.

We propose a multi-objective space search algorithm (MSSA) and introduce the identification of fuzzy inference systems based on the MSSA and information granulation (IG). The MSSA is a multi-objective optimization algorithm whose search method is associated with the analysis of the solution space. The multi-objective mechanism of MSSA is realized using a non-dominated sorting-based multi-objective strategy. In the identification of the fuzzy inference system, the MSSA is exploited to carry out parametric optimization of the fuzzy model and to achieve its structural optimization. The granulation of information is attained using the C-Means clustering algorithm. The overall optimization of fuzzy inference systems comes in the form of two identification mechanisms: structure identification (such as the number of input variables to be used, a specific subset of input variables, the number of membership functions, and the polynomial type) and parameter identification (viz. the apexes of membership function). The structure identification is developed by the MSSA and C-Means, whereas the parameter identification is realized via the MSSA and least squares method. The evaluation of the performance of the proposed model was conducted using three representative numerical examples such as gas furnace, NOx emission process data, and Mackey-Glass time series. The proposed model was also compared with the quality of some "conventional" fuzzy models encountered in the literature.

The bearing diagnostics method is presented in this paper using fuzzy inference based on vibration data. Both time-domain and frequency-domain features are used as input data for bearing fault detection. The Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) have been proposed to select the fuzzy model input and output parameters. Training results give the optimized fuzzy inference system for bearing diagnosis based on measured vibration data. The result is also tested with other sets of bearing data to illustrate the reliability of the chosen model.

Accurate detection and classification of faults on transmission lines is vitally important. In this respect, many different types of faults occur, such as inter alia low impedance faults (LIF) and high impedance faults (HIF). The latter in particular pose difficulties for the commonly employed conventional overcurrent and distance relays, and if undetected, can cause damage to expensive equipment, threaten life and cause fire hazards. Although HIFs are far less common than LIFs, it is imperative that any protection device should be able to satisfactorily deal with both HIFs and LIFs. Because of the randomness and asymmetric characteristics of HIFs, their modeling is difficult and numerous papers relating to various HIF models have been published. In this paper, the model of HIFs in transmission lines is accomplished using the characteristics of a ZnO arrester, which is then implemented within the overall transmission system model based on the electromagnetic transients program (EMTP). This paper proposes an algorithm for fault detection and classification for both LIFs and HIFs using Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The inputs into ANFIS are current signals only based on Root-Mean-Square (RMS) values of 3-phase currents and zero sequence current. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on a typical 154 kV Korean transmission line system under various fault conditions. Test results demonstrate that the ANFIS can detect and classify faults including LIFs and HIFs accurately within half a cycle.

In GMAW(Gas Metal Arc Welding) process, bead geometry (penetration, bead width and height) is a criterion to estimate welding quality. Bead geometry is affected by welding current, arc voltage and travel speed, shielding gas, CTWB (contact- tip to workpiece distance) and so on. In this paper, welding process variables were selected as welding current, arc voltage and travel speed. And bead geometry was reasoned from the chosen welding process variables using negro-fuzzy algorithm. Neural networks was applied to design FL(fuzzy logic). The parameters of input membership functions and those of consequence functions in FL were tuned through the method of learning by backpropagation algorithm. Bead geometry could be reasoned from welding current, arc voltage, travel speed on FL using the results learned by neural networks.

Researches of current information searching focus on providing personalized results as well as matching needed queries in an enormous amount of information. This paper aims at discovering hidden knowledge to provide personalized and inferred search results based on the ontology with categorized concepts and relations among data. The current searching occasionally presents too much redundant information or offers no matching results from large volumes of data. To lessen this disadvantages in the information searching, we propose an inference algorithm that supports associated and inferred searching through the Jess engine based on the OWL ontology constraints and knowledge expressed by SWRL with association rules. After constructing the personalized preference ontology for domains such as restaurants, gas stations, bakeries, and so on, it shows that new knowledge information generated from the ontology and the rules is provided with an example of the domain of gas stations.

Recently, home energy management system (HEMS) for power consumption reduction has been widely used and studied. The HEMS performs electric power consumption control for the indoor electric device connected to the HEMS. However, a traditional HEMS is used for passive control method using some particular power saving devices. Disadvantages with this traditional HEMS is that these power saving devices should be newly installed to build HEMS environment instead of existing home appliances. Therefore, an HEMS, which performs with existing home appliances, is needed to prevent additional expenses due to the purchase of state-of-the-art devices. In this paper, an intelligent inference algorithm for EMS at home for non-power saving electronic equipment, called legacy devices, is proposed. The algorithm is based on the adaptive network fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and has a subsystem that notifies retraining schedule to the ANFIS to increase the inference performance. This paper discusses the overview and the architecture of the system, especially in terms of the retraining schedule. In addition, the comparison results show that the proposed algorithm is more accurate than the classic ANFIS-based EMS system.
