Advances in Fuzzy Method for Natural Computing
Both natural computing and fuzzy method exhibit human-like mental processing. Natural computing is the field of research that works with computational techniques inspired in part by natural systems. Fuzzy method is an alternative to traditional notions of set membership and logic, and it occurs in many applications of engineering, science and medicine. This paper presents a survey of recent advances in fuzzy method for natural computing, such as fuzzy artificial neural networks, fuzzy genetic algorithms, fuzzy ant colony optimization, fuzzy artificial immune systems, etc. We utilize uncertainty handling capacity of fuzzy method for modeling ambiguity, and the learning ability of natural computing for efficiently traversing large search spaces.

The transient solution of time-dependent M/M/1 queues
The transient behavior of time-dependent M/M/1 queues is studied. The boundary probability function pi /sub 0/(t), which is the probability that the queue is empty at time t, is shown with analyticity arguments to satisfy a Volterra-type integral equation. The boundary integral equation is derived, and a numerical algorithm is used to solve the integral equation and to find the expected queue size from pi /sub 0/(t). The approach can be applied to many other types of time-dependent queues. Examples are given. >

Evolutionary Algorithm Based on Overlapped Gene Expression
Inspired by the overlap gene expression in biological study, this paper proposes a novel evolutionary algorithm-EAOGE i.e. Evolutionary Algorithm based on Overlapped Gene Expression. Different from existing works, EAOGE suggests a new expression structure of genes with probabilities of overlapped expression for some segments. The main contributions are: (1) Proposing a novel model and an algorithm of gene expression while borrowing some ideas from artificial immunity algorithm; (2) Analyzing the expressing space and encode characteristic of the new model; (3) The extensive experiments in function finding shows that new model is 2.8~9.7 times faster than usual GEP method, and in higher-degree polynomial function finding, the success rate of EAOGE is over 10 times than usual GEP.

An Improved Fuzzy Image Enhancement Algorithm
An effective method for fuzzy image enhancement was presented by Russo, which was controlled by tuning of one parameter. The fixed parameter was used for the entire image resulting in over blurring or sharpening of image features in some parts of the image. On the basis of these, in this paper, we applied Russo's algorithm on different kinds of noise and proposed an efficient method to obtain the parameter values adaptively. Firstly, each pixel went through a phase of smoothing and then followed by a phase of combining smoothing and sharpening; Secondly, to effectively enhance image, each pixel local feature was adaptively assigned different parameter values by evaluating pixel local features through a fuzzy membership function; Finally, compared with Russopsilas method and other methods, experimental results indicated that the proposed method could achieve better performance than traditional methods for the enhancement of images corrupted with impulse and Gaussian noise.
