PAPER ONE

 

Soft Computing Approaches for Human-Autonomous Agent Communication

 

Frederick E. Petry (Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Center, MS, USA) and Ronald R. Yager (Machine Intelligence Institute, Iona College, New Rochelle, NY, USA)

 

This paper describes soft computing approaches for human-agent communications in the context of influencing decision making behavior. Several methods are illustrated including using a person’s predispositions and generalization techniques that allow issues to be viewed in a more favorable light with social interaction persuasion tendencies modeled with soft computing. The context of a robotic assistant for the elderly is used to illustrate the various communication techniques. Finally the related topic of negotiations using some the developed techniques is presented.

A Quantitative Analysis of the English Lexicon in Wiktionaries and WordNet

 

Andrew Krizhanovsky (Institution of the Russian Academy of Sciences - Institute of Applied Mathematical Research of the Karelian Research Centre, Karelia, Russia)

 

A quantitative analysis of the English lexicon was done in the paper. The three electronic dictionaries are under examination: the English Wiktionary, WordNet, and the Russian Wiktionary. It was calculated the quantity of English words and meanings (senses) in these dictionaries. The distribution of words for each part of speech, the quantity of monosemous and polysemous words and the distribution of words by number of meanings were calculated and compared across these dictionaries. The analysis shows that the average polysemy, the number and the distribution of word senses follow similar patterns in both expert and collaborative resources with relatively minor differences.

PAPER THREE

An Intelligent Particle Swarm Optimization for Fuzzy Based Heterogeneous Radio Access Technology (RAT) Selection

 

J. Preethi (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Anna University of Technology, Coimbatore, India) and S. Palaniswami (Government College of Engineering, Bargur, India)

 

The future wireless networks are heterogeneous in nature where different Radio Access Technologies (RATs) coexist in the same coverage area. The user terminal has to select the best access technology among Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN), and Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS) etc. at its current location. Thus, selecting the appropriate RAT and cell becomes a complex problem in heterogeneous network due to number of variables involved in the selection process. The main objective of this work in the heterogeneous networks is to maximize the percentage of satisfied users who are assigned to the networks. Henceforth, this paper presents an innovative mechanism for the selection of heterogeneous networks such as WWAN and WLAN. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using 1000 datasets. From the simulation results, it is found that the proposed algorithm gives highest probability for mobile user satisfaction than the existing methods.

PAPER FOUR

 

An Intelligent and Dynamic Decision Support System for Nonlinear Environments

 

S. Uma (Hindusthan Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu, India) and J. Suganthi (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Hindusthan College of Engineering and Technology, Tamil Nadu, India)

 

Nonlinear time series systems are high dimensional and chaotic in nature. Since, the design of a dynamic and efficient decision making system is a challenging task, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based model is proposed to predict the future event of a nonlinear time series environment. This model is a non-parametric model that uses the inherent structure of the data for forecasting. The Hybrid Dimensionality Reduction (HDR) and Extended Hybrid Dimensionality Reduction (EHDR) techniques are proposed to represent the time series data and to reduce the dimensionality and control noise besides subsequencing the time series data. The proposed SVM based model using EHDR is compared with the models using Symbolic Aggregate approXimation (SAX), HDR, SVM using Kernel Principal Component Analysis(KPCA) and SVM using varying tube size values for historical data on different financial instruments. The experimental results have proved that the prediction accuracy of the proposed model is better compared with other models taken for the experimentation.

PAPER FIVE

 

Optimal Strategy for the Smartphone Industry in Taiwan: HTC Case Study

 

Yi-Fen Chen (Chung Yuan Christian University, Chung Li, Taiwan), Bi-Chu Chen (Jinwen University of Science and Technology, New Taipei City, Taiwan), Wen-Yu Chen (Chinese Culture University, Taipei, Taiwan), Chia-Wen Tsai (Ming Chuan University, Taipei, Taiwan) and Wei-Hung Lin (Chung Yuan Christian University, Chung Li, Taiwan)

Smartphone development has opened the door to many future business opportunities. Many smartphone manufacturers in Taiwan have received orders from large international companies (mainly as OEMs or ODMs), while only few manufacturers have developed their own brands. If the authors can provide these enterprises with an effective decision-making strategy, they will be able to make the best decisions in time. The purpose of this paper is to take critical success factors (CSFs) and the existing internal capabilities of an enterprise in an external environment into account to build an operational model guide that enterprise in its decision making process. This study combined the Delphi method and the analytic network process (ANP) model to construct a decision model, calculate the weighting of every criterion and sub-criterion, and determine the optimal decision-making strategy in the smartphone industry. Then, the authors chose the HTC Corporation as a case study. The results showed that the development trend of the smartphone industry was the integration of mobile phones. The strategy of excellent functions strategy is the optimal strategy for the implementation of the alternatives.
