This paper provides an in-depth review of the optimal design of type-1 and type-2 fuzzy
inference systems (FIS) using five well known computational frameworks: genetic-fuzzy …

It is without doubt that today the volume and sophistication of cyber attacks keeps
consistently growing, militating an endless arm race between attackers and defenders. In …

An ontology typically provides a vocabulary describing a domain of interest and a
specification of the meaning of terms in that vocabulary. Depending on the precision of this …

Schema matching is a basic problem in many database application domains, such as data
integration, E-business, data warehousing, and semantic query processing. In current …

In solving many real-world optimization problems, neither mathematical functions nor
numerical simulations are available for evaluating the quality of candidate solutions. Instead …

Schema and ontology matching is a critical problem in many application domains, such as
semantic web, schema/ontology integration, data warehouses, e-commerce, etc. Many …

Most existing work on evolutionary optimization assumes that there are analytic functions for
evaluating the objectives and constraints. In the real world, however, the objective or …

Researchers in the ontology-design field have developed the content for ontologies in many
domain areas. This distributed nature of ontology development has led to a large number of …

Ontology alignment identifies semantically matching entities in different ontologies. Various
ontology alignment strategies have been proposed; however, few systems have explored …

Data warehouses are databases of a specific kind that periodically collect information about
the activities being performed by an organization. This information is then accumulated over …
