The likelihood of Braess' paradox in traffic networks (2018)
Book Chapter
Zverovich, V. The likelihood of Braess' paradox in traffic networks. In Modern Applications of Graph Theory. Manuscript submitted for publication

The well-known Braess' paradox illustrates situations when adding a new link to a traffic network might increase congestion in the network. In this article, we announce a number of new results devoted to the probability of Braess' paradox to occur in... Read More about The likelihood of Braess' paradox in traffic networks.

A study of heuristic evaluation measures in fuzzy rule induction (2018)
Book Chapter
Afifi, A. (2018). A study of heuristic evaluation measures in fuzzy rule induction. In L. Iliadis, I. Maglogiannis, & V. Plagianakos (Eds.), Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (533-545). Springer, Tiergartenstraße 17, 69121 Heidelberg, Germany

The rule induction process could be conceived as a search process,and hence an evaluation metric is needed to estimate the quality of rules found in the search space and to direct the search towards the best rule. The evaluation measure is the most... Read More about A study of heuristic evaluation measures in fuzzy rule induction.

Ontologies in Aeronautics (2018)
Book Chapter
Insaurralde, C. C., & Blasch, E. (2018). Ontologies in Aeronautics. In U. Durak, J. Becker, S. Hartmann, & N. Voros (Eds.), Advances in Aeronautical Informatics (67-85). Switzerland: Springer (part of Springer Nature). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-75058-3_6

Avionics systems are getting increasingly sophisticated, airspaces are densely occupied, and aircraft are desired to fly in more adverse weather conditions. These conditions increase the complexity of Air TrafficManagement (ATM) as aviators and airsp... Read More about Ontologies in Aeronautics.

Neural Network Approach to Solving Fully Fuzzy Nonlinear Systems (2018)
Book Chapter
