5.Research and Development Activities
5.1.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.
5.2 .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.
5.3.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.
- 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 the
radio-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
- 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 ].
8)Method of reliability analyses and optimization using fuzzy logic and chaos theory. This method was published in papers [39, 40] and allow to solve the classical reliability modeling problems without statistical data.
