Despite the wide interest in sensors and collaborative WSNs, little attention has been paid to optimizing the integration of collaborative Fuzzy Rule-Based Systems (FRBSs) selleck Z-VAD-FMK into WSNs. FRBSs [12] are considered an extension of classical rule-based systems because they deal with ��IF-THEN�� rules whose antecedents and consequents are composed of fuzzy logic statements (fuzzy rules) [13] instead of classical logic statements. One of the main characteristics of these integrated systems is the capacity of each node to incorporate facilities for simple sensing, actuation, communication and computation; however, the full capabilities of such networks are reached only by the cooperation of all of the nodes. Because of these qualities, these networks can efficiently provide all of the services necessary to implement an IS.
To optimize the implementation of an IS by means of a WSN, this paper presents a distributed architecture proposal for collaborative FRBSs embedded in a WSN. The main contribution of the design that is Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries presented is to make it possible to decrease Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries the consumption of the required resources [(a) memory; (b) CPU; and (c) battery] Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries by an FRBS embedded in a node of a WSN, without a substantial decrease in the accuracy of the inferred values.To achieve this goal, we include the following in the proposed architecture:A design of the inference engine that is based on the approximate Mamdani-type [12], to achieve a high level of accuracy in complex problem domains.
A visual interface, to facilitate the composition of the descriptive and approximate Knowledge Bases (KBs) [12] and to achieve a high degree Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries of interpretability of the linguistic rules and additionally, a high level of accuracy.A module to reduce rules, which is used to decrease the redundancy and the complexity of the fuzzy rule set without a substantial decrease in their completeness and consistency.A module to evaluate the accuracy of a new KB that was obtained by means of the application of the rule reduction Dacomitinib algorithm proposed.A module that makes possible the transformation of the base of rules that are descriptive into approximates [12], to make the most out of approximate and descriptive FRBS advantages.A communications protocol that is used for the distribution of an entire or partial KB among the sensor nodes, the collection of inferred data, the management of the sensor nodes, and the integration with other measurement applications.The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. selleck bio Section 2 addresses related work and motivation.
