The present paper surveys the application of soft computing (SC) techniques in engineering
design. Within this context, fuzzy logic (FL), genetic algorithms (GA) and artificial neural …

The conventional digital hardware computational blocks with different structures are
designed to compute the precise results of the assigned calculations. The main contribution …

This paper proposes a quantitative human reliability analysis (HRA) model based on fuzzy
logic theory, Bayesian network, and cognitive reliability & error analysis method (CREAM) …

Human error is a significant factor triggering oil tanker collisions. Drawbacks jeopardizing
the effectiveness of human error analysis from traditional studies are spotted. This study …

Background Cervical cancer is preventable if effective screening measures are in place. Pap-
smear is the commonest technique used for early screening and diagnosis of cervical …

In this article three methods are presented to perform the center of gravity (COG)
defuzzification method in the context of linguistic fuzzy models with t-norm-based inference …

The demand for high-quality and low-cost products with short development time in the
