The focus of this paper is on an attempt towards a unified formalism to manage both symbolic and numerical information based on high-level fuzzy Petri nets (HLFPN). Fuzzy functions, fuzzy reasoning, and fuzzy neural networks are integrated in HLFPN In HLFPN model, a fuzzy place carries information to describe the fuzzy variable and the fuzzy set of a fuzzy condition. An arc is labeled with a fuzzy weight to represent the strength of connection between places and transitions. A fuzzy set and a fuzzy truth-value are attached to an uncertain fuzzy token to model imprecision and uncertainty. We have identified six types of uncertain transition: calculation transitions to compute functions with uncertain fuzzy inputs; inference transitions to perform fuzzy reasoning; neuron transitions to execute computations in neural networks; duplication transitions to duplicate an uncertain fuzzy token to several tokens carrying the same fuzzy sets and fuzzy truth values; aggregation transitions to combine several uncertain fuzzy tokens with the same fuzzy variable; and aggregation-duplication transitions to amalgamate aggregation transitions and duplication transitions. To guide the computation inside the HLFPN, an algorithm is developed and an example is used to illustrate the proposed approach.

Subcontractor performance directly affects project success. The use of inappropriate subcontractors may result in individual work delays, cost overruns, and quality defects throughout the project. This study develops web-based Evolutionary Fuzzy Neural Networks (EFNNs) to predict subcontractor performance. EFNNs are a fusion of Genetic Algorithms (GAs), Fuzzy Logic (FL), and Neural Networks (NNs). FL is primarily used to mimic high level of decision-making processes and deal with uncertainty in the construction industry. NNs are used to identify the association between previous performance and future status when predicting subcontractor performance. GAs are optimizing parameters required in FL and NNs. EFNNs encode FL and NNs using floating numbers to shorten the length of a string. A multi-cut-point crossover operator is used to explore the parameter and retain solution legality. Finally, the applicability of the proposed EFNNs is validated using real subcontractors. The EFNNs are evolved using 22 historical patterns and tested using 12 unseen cases. Application results show that the proposed EFNNs surpass FL and NNs in predicting subcontractor performance. The proposed approach improves prediction accuracy and reduces the effort required to predict subcontractor performance, providing field operators with web-based remote access to a reliable, scientific prediction mechanism.

The fuzzy neural networks are hybrid structures that can act in several contexts of the pattern classification, including the detection of failures and anomalous behaviors. This paper discusses the use of an artificial intelligence model based on the association between fuzzy logic and training of artificial neural networks to recognize anomalies in transactions involved in the context of computer networks and cyberattacks. In addition to verifying the accuracy of the model, fuzzy rules were obtained through knowledge from the massive datasets to form expert systems. The acquired rules allow the creation of intelligent systems in high-level languages with a robust level of identification of anomalies in Internet transactions, and the accuracy of the results of the test confirms that the fuzzy neural networks can act in anomaly detection in high-security attacks in computer networks.

Abstract This article outlines a methodology of modeling self-induced vibrations that occur in the course of machining of metal objects, i.e. when shaping casting patterns on CNC machining centers. The modeling process presented here is based on an algorithm that makes use of local model fuzzy-neural networks. The algorithm falls back on the advantages of fuzzy systems with Takagi-Sugeno-Kanga (TSK) consequences and neural networks with auxiliary modules that help optimize and shorten the time needed to identify the best possible network structure. The modeling of self-induced vibrations allows analyzing how the vibrations come into being. This in turn makes it possible to develop effective ways of eliminating these vibrations and, ultimately, designing a practical control system that would dispose of the vibrations altogether.
