This book deals with uncertainty forecasting based on a fuzzy time series approach, including fuzzy random processes and artificial neural networks. A consideration of data and measurement ...uncertainty enhances forecasting in a wide range of applications, particularly in the fields of engineering, environmental science and civil engineering. Uncertain data are described by means of a new incremental fuzzy representation which permits a complete and accurate estimation of uncertainty. The book is aimed at engineers as well as professionals working in related fields. Descriptive, modeling and forecasting methods pertaining to fuzzy time series are introduced and explained in detail. Emphasis is placed on forecasting with the aid of fuzzy random processes, such as fuzzy ARMA processes and fuzzy white-noise processes, as well as forecasting based on artificial neural networks. All numerical algorithms are comprehensively described and demonstrated by way of practical examples.

And what would make a real difference would be an interactive map to lead you ...to the answer every time. Chester Rowe's Simplifying Cause Analysis: A Structured Approach is your instruction book combined with the included downloadable Interactive Cause Analysis Tool you have been looking for.
Due to the increased pressure from today's globalized economy, companies need to develop innovative systems in order to achieve greater market competitiveness. Product-Service Systems (PSS) are one ...possibility to realize this. In order to successfully realize PSS, their surrounding social subsystemscontaining vital stakeholders such as suppliers and service providers, legislative bodies and users, need to be designed and developed along with the technical components. In order to achieve this, the modelling of large and complex sociotechnical systems becomes necessary. These sociotechnical systems result from the existence of multiple social and technical subsystems within PSS that are highly interconnected. Various tools for the analysis of complex sociotechnical systems exist, however there are currently no systematic approaches available in PSS research to describe these sociotechnical systems in order to create comparable system models. This paper describes the development of a metamodel for modeling of such sociotechnical systems. The approach applied is a combination of a literature survey into existing approaches of PSS metamodeling and the abstraction of concrete models created based on a case study of a bike sharing system developed by students. In the future, the metamodel will be refined, formalized, and used as a basis to conduct e.g. complexity analyses of sociotechnical systems of PSS.
Überwachungssysteme haben sich in den letzten Jahren zu intelligenten Anlagen entwickelt. Sie erzeugen eine große Menge von sensiblen Informationen. Die rechtlichen Datenschutzgrundlagen für diese ...Systeme werden in dieser Arbeit herausgearbeitet. Es wird der technische Aufbau eines Überwachungssystems nach Privacy by Design aufgezeigt, das geringer in die in Privatsphäre der Betroffenen eingreift als konventionelle Systeme und dabei die technischen Vorteile intelligenter Verarbeitung bietet.
The complexity of the design of current engineering systems is driving a growing interest in the use of simulation based design (SBD). In this context, the use of solvers with a sound physical ...foundation, able to catch the effect of design details on the overall performances of the system, is of paramount importance. Application of these high-fidelity solvers implies the availability of adequate computational platforms, able to support the necessary computational power. Furthermore, the trend to increase the number of objective functions, broadening the scope of the optimization process, and the correspondent increase of the number of design variables, lead to the need of analyzing thousands of different configurations, so that the time for the solution of the optimization problem may be longer than the total time allocated for the whole design activity. Consequently, design optimization is often excluded due to these practical reasons.
The textbook presents real-life examples of the simulation of linear and non-linear systems using MATLAB/Simulink. The powerful MATLAB software program is applied to describe systems that extend well ...beyond the typical applications presented in lectures and that are simple enough to be solved by hand.
