Computational Intelligence Inspired Data Delivery for Vehicle-to-Roadside Communications
We propose a vehicle-to-roadside communication protocol based on distributed clustering where a coalitional game approach is used to stimulate the vehicles to join a cluster, and a fuzzy logic algorithm is employed to generate stable clusters by considering multiple metrics of vehicle velocity, moving pattern, and signal qualities between vehicles. A reinforcement learning algorithm with game theory based reward allocation is employed to guide each vehicle to select the route that can maximize the whole network performance. The protocol is integrated with a multi-hop data delivery virtualization scheme that works on the top of the transport layer and provides high performance for multi-hop end-to-end data transmissions. We conduct realistic computer simulations to show the performance advantage of the protocol over other approaches
A Review of Fault Diagnosing Methods in Power Transmission Systems
Transient stability is important in power systems. Disturbances like faults need to be segregated to restore transient stability. A comprehensive review of fault diagnosing methods in the power transmission system is presented in this paper. Typically, voltage and current samples are deployed for analysis. Three tasks/topics; fault detection, classification, and location are presented separately to convey a more logical and comprehensive understanding of the concepts. Feature extractions, transformations with dimensionality reduction methods are discussed. Fault classification and location techniques largely use artificial intelligence (AI) and signal processing methods. After the discussion of overall methods and concepts, advancements and future aspects are discussed. Generalized strengths and weaknesses of different AI and machine learning-based algorithms are assessed. A comparison of different fault detection, classification, and location methods is also presented considering features, inputs, complexity, system used and results. This paper may serve as a guideline for the researchers to understand different methods and techniques in this field

Investment Risk Appraisal
Standard financial techniques neglect extreme situations and regards large market shifts as too unlikely to matter. This
approach may account for what occurs most of the time in the market, but the picture it presents does not reflect the reality, as the
major events happen in the rest of the time and investors are ‘surprised’ by ‘unexpected’ market movements. An alternative fuzzy
approach permits fluctuations well beyond the probability type of uncertainty and allows one to make fewer assumptions about the
data distribution and market behaviour. Fuzzifying the present value criteria, we suggest a measure of the risk associated with each
investment opportunity and estimate the project’s robustness towards market uncertainty. The procedure is applied to thirty-five UK
companies and a neural network solution to the fuzzy criterion is provided to facilitate the decision-making process. Finally, we
discuss the grounds for classical asset pricing model revision and argue that the demand for relaxed assumptions appeals for another
approach to modelling the market environment
Industrial process monitoring by means of recurrent neural networks and Self Organizing Maps
Industrial manufacturing plants often suffer from reliability problems during their day-to-day operations which
have the potential for causing a great impact on the effectiveness and performance of the overall process and the
sub-processes involved. Time-series forecasting of critical industrial signals presents itself as a way to reduce this
impact by extracting knowledge regarding the internal dynamics of the process and advice any process deviations
before it affects the productive process. In this paper, a novel industrial condition monitoring approach based on the
combination of Self Organizing Maps for operating point codification and Recurrent Neural Networks for critical signal
modeling is proposed. The combination of both methods presents a strong synergy, the information of the operating
condition given by the interpretation of the maps helps the model to improve generalization, one of the drawbacks of
recurrent networks, while assuring high accuracy and precision rates. Finally, the complete methodology, in terms of
performance and effectiveness is validated experimentally with real data from a copper rod industrial plant.Postprint (published version
