Historically, since Mamdani proposed his model of fuzzy rule-based system, a lot has changed in the construction process of this type of models. For a long time, the research efforts were directed towards the automatic ...

In recent years, most companies apply techniques of industrial automation with the goal of increasing its efficiency. Increasingly Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are used to transport work in factories and warehouses. ...

The goal of this work is to study, expand and evaluate the use of multiobjective genetic algorithms and the iterative rule learning approach in fuzzy system generation, especially, in fuzzy rule-based systems, both in ...

Automatic text summarization has been of great interest in Natural Language Processing due to the need of processing a huge amount of information in short time, which is usually delivered through distinct media. Thus, ...

The manual translation of a source natural language into a target natural language is a task that demands time and expertise. In order to reduce the work needed for manual translations, the aim is to accomplish this task ...

A Flexible Manufacturing System is a production system where more than one event can occur simultaneously in parallel, asynchronously or concurrently. These are designed to meet the needs of the market, demand for improved ...

In the context of automated manufacturing systems, combinatorial optimization problems, such as determining the production schedule, have been focused in many studies due to the high degree of complexity to their resolution. ...

Vehicle fleets are an important component in several applications, moving materials and people. Examples include material handling in warehouses, factories and port terminals, people transportation as in taxi fleets and ...
