Separating I/O from Application Logic for Rule-Based Control Systems
Journal Title: Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services - Year 2011, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
One of the main reasons of using a rule-based approach to program control systems is that they can be formally verified. For such systems communication with the environment is often encoded within the knowledge base. Such inclusion may lead to issues with portability, extendibility, maintainability, and interoperability. The paper proposes a four layer architecture to solve these issues. A proof-of-concept RBS, targeted at control systems, and an example case are also given.

The Errors-in-Variable Model in the Optimal Portfolio Construction
In the paper we consider a modification of Sharpe’s method used in classical portfolio analysis for optimal portfolio building. The conventional theory assumes there is a linear relationship between asset’s return and ma...
Stretching the Least Squares to Embed Loss Functions Tables
The method of least squares is extended to accommodate a class of loss functions specified in the form of function tables. Each function table is embedded into the standard quadratic loss function so that the nonlinear l...
