Objective: This paper discusses the evolution of pervasive healthcare from its inception for
activity recognition using wearable sensors to the future of sensing implant deployment and …

Data, as being the vital input of system modelling, contain dissimilar level of imprecision that
necessitates different modelling approaches for proper analysis of the systems. Numbers …

In recent decades, several types of sets, such as fuzzy sets, interval‐valued fuzzy sets,
intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, type 2 fuzzy sets, type n fuzzy …

Contents This chapter introduces the basic concepts, notation, and basic operations for the
type-1 fuzzy sets that will be needed in the following chapters. Type-2 fuzzy sets as well as …

In this state-of-the-art paper, important advances that have been made during the past five
years for both general and interval type-2 fuzzy sets and systems are described. Interest in …

Fractional order PID controller was received attentions in control problems for it had 2
freedom adjustable parameters. Practices had proved that better results could be obtained …

Uncertainty is an inherent part in control systems used in real world applications. The use of
new methods for handling incomplete information is of fundamental importance. Type-1 …

Fuzzy set theory has been proposed as a means for modeling the vagueness in complex
systems. Fuzzy systems usually employ type-1 fuzzy sets, representing uncertainty by …

In recent years, reduction of energy consumption in buildings has increasingly gained
interest among researchers mainly due to practical reasons, such as economic advantages …

In this paper, an interval type-2 fuzzy sliding-mode controller (IT2FSMC) is proposed for
linear and nonlinear systems. The proposed IT2FSMC is a combination of the interval type-2 …
