In this paper, we will present a wider view on the relationship between interval-valued fuzzy sets and interval type-2 fuzzy sets, where we will show that interval-valued fuzzy sets are a particular case of the interval type-2 fuzzy sets. For this reason, both concepts should be treated in a different way. In addition, the view presented in this paper will allow a more general perspective of interval...
Amongst Ambient Intelligence (AmI) services in the home environment is improving the quality of life through increasing the comfort levels of the users. One of the ways to meet user-friendly comfort requirements of an intelligent space is to establish more natural ways of interaction and hence a more serene communication between the humans and the intelligent systems. Inspired from the remarkable...
The general focus of this paper concerns the development of telepresence within intelligent immersive environments. The overall aim is the development of a system that combines multiple audio and video feeds from geographically dispersed people into a single environment view, where sound appears to be linked to the appropriate visual source on a panoramic viewer based on the gaze of the user. More...
Classical ontology is not sufficient to deal with vague or imprecise knowledge for real world applications such as malware behavioral analysis. In addition, malware has grown into a pressing problem for governments and commercial organizations. Anti-malware applications represent one of the most important research topics in the area of information security threat. As a countermeasure, enhanced systems...
An interpretation of the state of health of the baby can be inferred through assessment of the umbilical cord acid-base (UAB) status. This assessment can be made based on pH and other parameters from both arterial and venous blood from the newborn umbilical cord. This can distinguish the cause of a low pH between the distinct physiological conditions of respiratory acidosis due to a short-term accumulation...
This paper addresses the problem of learning human behavior models from sensor information in a smart home environment. Any smart home is provided with many devices that can determine the state of the environment at any moment, as well as the user interaction with the environment. This information is used by our approach to learn a flexible and reliable human behavior representation, extracting the...
Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) aims to develop techniques that are able to make decisions and solve complex problems where the outcome is a factor of various conflicting criteria. Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFSs) have been shown to provide a suitable framework for dealing with decision-making systems involving membership, non-membership and hesitation which showed very good results when dealing...
Workforce management is one of the most important factors in the success of any company that provides its customers with services. Hence, in order for the company to achieve objectives like customer satisfaction and maximum resource utilization, there is a need to have a reliable means of efficiently managing the company workforce and making sure that the produced plan always gives a good choice when...
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a vision that refers to an information technology paradigm where a physical environment is ‘aware’ of its human occupants' presence/context and is sensitive, adaptive and responsive to their needs. Physical environments that are augmented with AmI are called Ambient Intelligent Environments (AIEs) which are deemed to be intelligent because the system should be able to...
