Abstract

Accurate determination of earthquake epicenters is vital for effective disaster response and risk mitigation. This research proposes a Decision Support System (DSS) that leverages optimization techniques to enhance earthquake epicenter determination accuracy. The DSS combines seismic data processing, geospatial analysis, and advanced optimization algorithms to pinpoint epicenters with high precision. The study presents a mathematical formulation to minimize the misfit between observed and theoretical travel-time data using optimization algorithms. A numerical example showcases the DSS's effectiveness in accurately localizing seismic events. The research demonstrates that the DSS outperforms traditional methods, providing valuable insights for seismic monitoring agencies and disaster response teams. The DSS offers a promising solution for real-world applications, contributing to community safety and disaster preparedness in seismic-prone regions

Abstract

The choice of major concentration at the tertiary level is an important stage in one's educational development, involving various subjective factors such as interests, abilities, career goals, and subject preferences. To overcome the complexity of this process, we propose the development of a Fuzzy Logic-based Decision Support System (SPK) that can provide recommendations for major concentrations that are more in line with student profiles. In this study, we designed and implemented a DSS model that uses the Fuzzy Logic method to overcome uncertainty and ambiguity in concentration selection. The membership function that has been defined describes the degree of membership in each relevant set. Fuzzy rules are formed based on domain knowledge and historical data, and are applied in the inference process to produce recommendations for major concentrations.

Abstract

In an increasingly dense urban environment, efficient and adaptive traffic management is essential to maintain smooth mobility and reduce congestion. In this effort, the Multi-Agent Fuzzy Logic method emerges as a promising approach to overcome the complexity and fluctuation of traffic conditions. This study aims to investigate the potential application of the Multi-Agent Fuzzy Logic method in controlling traffic lights at complex crossroads. Within this conceptual framework, a mathematical formulation model and a programming algorithm are developed that enable the simulation of traffic light settings with the Multi-Agent Fuzzy Logic approach. By fuzzifying input variables to convert numeric data into linguistic variables. Furthermore, applying fuzzy rules to make adaptive decisions based on traffic conditions and coordination between agents in a multi-agent system. The results of this system are then validated through simulations, with evaluation metrics such as average waiting time, energy efficiency, and traffic smoothness. The results of this study indicate that the Multi-Agent Fuzzy Logic method is capable of producing traffic light settings that are responsive to changes in traffic conditions on each lane. By coordinating between agents, the average waiting time can be reduced, energy efficiency can be increased, and traffic flow can be improved.

In today’s digital era, efficient and accurate attendance management is essential in various sector. This research presents an innovative approach in the development of facial sensor-based attendance systems using the wavelet method. This approach aims to address the challenges of recognizing faces under varying lighting conditions, rotations, and facial details. Image pre-processing is used to improve the quality of the face image, followed by a discrete wavelet transform to decompose the image into wavelet coefficients at various scales. This model is strengthened by strong security techniques, considering the importance of individual data privacy. This research offers a modern alternative in attendance management by utilizing facial recognition technology and the wavelet method. Although the mathematically formulated model provides a clear framework, practical implementation requires advanced techniques in image processing and artificial intelligence.

Abstract

Accurate eye disease diagnosis is essential for therapy and vision preservation. Complexity and diversity of symptoms often confound established diagnostic methods. We suggest designing an expert system for eye illness diagnosis utilizing the certainty factor method, which handles ambiguous and imprecise medical diagnoses. A systematic technique to improve diagnostic accuracy is proposed in this research to bridge medical experience and computational reasoning. The research begins with a mathematical framework for symptoms, test data, and diagnostic conclusions. The system uses medical-inspired rule-based inference to aid evidence-based reasoning. The certainty factor technique quantifies diagnosis confidence, ensuring transparency and justifiability. A numerical example shows how to apply the strategy. The simple example shows how the expert system can analyze various criteria and make well-supported diagnoses. It emphasizes symptom analysis, test results, and the certainty factor method's capacity to handle uncertainty. This research emphasizes the interaction between artificial intelligence and medical competence and is conceptual. Real-world application involves medical practitioner participation, intensive testing, and patient data validation. This research advances medical diagnostic tools by combining computational and clinical knowledge. It symbolizes a shift toward efficient, accurate, and transparent diagnostic methods to improve patient care and healthcare.
