Fuzzy Information and Engineering 2010 (ACFIE 2010). Proceedings of the 5th annual conference, Huludao, China, September 23--27, 2010. (Q2638145)

The reviewed book contains the articles presented to the 5th Annual Conference on Fuzzy Information and Engineering which can be joined into five directions. The first one is ``the mathematical theory of fuzzy systems'' devoted to the subjects such as L-fuzzy typological vector spaces and their completion uniquely determined up to fuzzy order homomorphism; strong W-compactness in generalized fuzzy spaces (LW-spaces); fuzzy lattices and their sublattices; algebraic theory of fuzzy semi-rings and their ideals; the structures of fuzzy subgroups of some groups and their equivalence; fuzzy measurable functions; the redefinition of fuzzy complex integral; natural fuzzy extension and joint fuzzy extension of natural functions and their relations with integral analysis; convex fuzzy sets. Here for ordinary differential equations (DE) of fuzzy-valued function, the existence and uniqueness of solution results are obtained; to first order fuzzy DE with fuzzy initial value four methods of their solving with their comparison are suggested. According to the fuzzy structured element representation theorem of fuzzy-valued function under the background of engineering the definitions of fuzzy-valued function's first and second forms curvilinear and surface integrals are given together with their computation methods. The second group of articles is related to ``fuzzy logic, systems and control''. There are the robust absolute stability results for a class Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy uncertain neutral systems with delays, where based on Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and linear matrix inequalities approach the absolute robust stabilization conditions are obtained; investigation of fully fuzzy linear system, where coefficient matrix is a fuzzy one and right-hand-side column is an arbitrary fuzzy vector; solving of fuzzy polynomial equations and their systems together with necessary and sufficient condition for a fuzzy solution existence; existence criterion of equilibrium point of fuzzy linear system \(\widetilde{x}(k+l)=\widetilde{A}\overrightarrow{\widetilde{x}}(k)\) together with solving method for equilibrium point. Among them fuzzy control systems such as a design method of optimal guaranteed cost control for a planar inverted pendulum system; inspired by biology immune principle solving of multi-parameter optimization problem of intelligent controller; an intelligent-fusion control strategy for uncertainty complex industrial objects and processes; the sliding-mode control method for track of swarm behavior in swarm systems; fuzzy control algorithm method to control the rate and time of the weighing and mixing system of manifold materials; fuzzy control under seismic response for shell structures having high degree of geometric nonlinearity and time-variety of stiffness and damping; to enhance the running efficiency of elevator group control systems the presentation an optimal fuzzy dispatch strategy based on traffic flow mode; based on human simulated intelligent controller the presentation of a sort of adaptive control strategy for solving the closed-loop auto-tracking control puzzle of water rushing waste slag in the blast furnace casting house. In two articles for two fuzzy systems investigation probabilistic approaches are suggested. The third cycle of articles is related to ``fuzzy optimization and decision-making''. Three of them use the fuzzy integration and fuzzy programming; two ones apply the fuzzy game theory. Four articles apply fuzzy optimization methods to social economics models. Further follow articles devoted to discussion of fuzzy portfolio selection problem with transaction cost based on downside risk measure; fuzzy structured element algorithm is applied to system reliability with fuzzy parameter and in the evaluation of digital library in universities. Fuzzy optimization analysis and fuzzy evaluation are applied to investigation of two problems of shell theory. Fuzzy decision making methods are applied in human resource planning, evaluation model of creditability of E-commerce website and to a class of mortgage insurance pricing. Fuzzy evaluation methods are applied in many different fields in the articles: study of evaluating web-based courses based on FAHP (fuzzy analytical hierarchy process); vague sets based researches on natural rubber species optimization evaluation (to protect the natural rubber species of all kinds); groundwater quality evaluation based on fuzzy comprehensive method (water quality assessment) cleaner production evaluation method -- fuzzy math method (the usage in food industry of clean production); fuzzy synthetic evaluation of gas station safety (fuzzy analytic hierarchy process); a linear fuzzy comprehensive assessment model with prominent impact factor (application of fuzzy matrix synthesis operator); fuzzy comprehensive evaluation applied in tourism enterprises core competition. The fourth direction joined articles in ``fuzzy information, identification and clustering'' contains the application of non-optimum analysis approach to incomplete information systems; the novel fuzzy granulation based forecasting method presentation for time series; the encouragement mechanism construction for sharing mental model in information systems integration project; the introduction the concepts of knowledge granularity in information systems; the study of three important measures of intuitionistic fuzzy sets -- fuzzy entropy, similarity measures and distance measure -- and their relationships; the fuzzy clustering algorithms for the classification of unbalanced data, in the description of ants behavior, for the chemical vapor-liquid equilibrium modeling and stock market models; fuzzy sets theory applications in Finite Element Analysis with fuzzy parameters. The last seven articles are devoted to applications of fuzzy information to various fields of chemistry, physics, identification of image processing and even air-defense disposition. The last section joins the articles related to ``fuzzy engineering applications and soft computing methods''. Among them vague sets and fuzzy routh sets theories applications at the usage in the research of micro-seismic signal extraction and data mining method, vague value data in vague environment construction. Two articles are devoted to GM\((l,l)\) model of Grey prediction theory, one article to fuzzy Finite Element with concrete applications, three articles contain the applications of neural networks in nonlinear optimization and prediction for self-compaction concrete with various examples of the usage, particularly in nonlinear time series. Fuzzy analysis methods and algorithms are applied to optimizing single depot and heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem; to displacements back analysis in soft pit excavation (where the five-component soil model is presented to simulate mechanical process of soft soil and the finite element code is developed); to simulation and analysis the total amount of medical insurance claims; to multi-item fuzzy ``economic order quantity'' model. Two articles (Personalized information service system based on multi-agent and Stability with impulsive delay predator-prey system) are not related to basis subjects of this section.
