Research and Development
Activities
1.Summary of Current Research and Development Activities.
Currently I
am preparing for publication my new book entitled “Intelligent
Technique of
Forecasting and Diagnosis”. This book is based on my original papers
published in last 10 years and summarized the methodology, mathematical
models , algorithms and case studies in fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms
and neural network application for the direct and reverse problem
solving. This book will be published in the Springer Publisher , Studies
in Fuzziness.
2.
Future Directions for
Research and Development.
In the
future I am going to work in the area of Anti-Chaotic Reliable Systems.
I want to develop a new reliability theory based on fuzzy logic and
chaos theory. This new methodology will allow to predict and optimize
the reliability of large scale systems without statistical data .
Instead of probabilistic models it will use the membership functions of
correct elements performance and the generators of chaotic parameters
changing. This new methodology will build a bridge between stability
theory and reliability theory.
3.
Summary of Past
Research and Development Activities.
1)
Method of Reliability Analysis of Man-Machine Systems.
This method
have been proposed in my Ph. D theses. I developed a library
of standard models
for the evaluation of man-machine systems
reliability using the
algorithm of systems functioning.
It was
published in English journal papers[1-4], Russian journal papers [1-4]
and the separate booklets [1-3]. The booklets [1,2] were very popular
between Russian ergonomic engineers as a manual for the reliability
analyses of the designing systems.
This method
also was used in the several dissertations of my Ph.D.
students.
2)
Multidimensional Reliability Theory of Man-Machine Systems.
This theory
have been developed in my Doctor of Science theses defended in Moscow
Aircraft Institute. The theory generalizes the classical ( binary )
reliability theory to a multidimensional case where we can take into
account different types of faults in system process functioning .The
proposed theory allows to solve the optimization problems by a
specially developed probabilistic- algorithmic algebra.
It was
published in English journal papers [ 5,6,7 ], Russian journal
papers[ 6,7,8,20 ],conference papers [1,3] and monographs [1,2].
3)
Fuzzy Reliability Theory of Algorithmic Processes.
This
theory allows us to make reliability analysis using fuzzy data
without information about probabilistic parameters.
This work
is published in the edited volumes [ 1,2,3 ], English journal paper
[9],Russian journal papers [11,30,31], conference papers [5,9] and
monograph[2 ]. The paper [3] have been cited in the many international
publications.
4)
Methodology of Design
and Tuning of Fuzzy Rule- Based Systems for Medical Diagnosis.
This
methodology allows us to build an expert system for medical diagnoses
using fuzzy If- Then Rules.
It was
published in the invited chapter [4], English journal paper [11],
Russian journal paper [9],conference papers[4,6,8] and monograph [3].
The book
with invited chapter [3] was included in the list of “Selected Recent
Books on Neurobiology” from SCIENCEWEEK.com.
(
http://scienceweek.com/bklist8.htm
) . The chapter [3] have been cited in many international publications.
5)
Fuzzy Rule – Based Theory of System Identification .
This
theory allows to the build nonlinear dependencies “output – inputs
,” using expert If-Then Rules tuned by Neural-Genetic Algorithms.
It was
published in English journal papers [10,12,14,15, 17,18], Russian
journal paper [4], conference papers[11,12,13,16 ] and monographs [5,6].
The monograph [6] have been used as a text book in the several Russian
and Ukrainian
universities.
A software
package, FUZZY EXPERT, for the design and tuning of expert systems based
on the proposed theory was developed and implemented in the following
systems :
-
diagnosis of ischemia heart disease,
-
diagnosis of hemorrhage in labor,
-
assessment of complications in early hestosis during pregnancy,
-
diagnosis of womb myoma occurrence risk in women employed in
theradio-electronics industry,
-
teenagers health prognosis,
-
effectiveness assessment of various medical preparations
applications,
-
project
quality evaluation,
-
identification of a car wheels adhesion factor for a road surface
-
inventory control,
-
sports
prediction. ,etc
6)
Method of Multi-Criteria Selection of Alternatives based on Fuzzy Pair
Comparisons.
This method
uses the Bellman-Zadeh principle and my special procedure of the
membership grades evaluations by comparison with the worst element.
It was
published in English paper [16] and conference paper[20].
7)
Methodology of Soft Computing –Based Diagnosis.
This
methodology allows to solve the fuzzy logic equations necessary for
the course and effect analyses in parallel with design and tuning of
fuzzy relations using a combination of genetic algorithm and neural
net.
It was
published in the monograph [6] , English papers 17,18, 26] and
conference papers [16,19,36 ].
