In societal applications of systems science where competition under conflicting interests is pertinent to, the decision making faces situations in which one must decide whether to cooperate or not with a competitor or opponent. Each of the opponents (‘players’) has as well as carries own missions within the society out. At least two if not more parties need to make decisions under fully or partially conflicting objectives when involved in a dispute or open conflict. By and large decisions must be made under risk, uncertainty, and incomplete or fuzzy information implying large amounts of linguistic and probabilistic information. For cases of two opponents, the synergy of fuzzy control approach and matrix games seems rather effective to represent and find solutions for such multi-criteria conflicting situations. The fuzzy procedure is used to take into account some of the subjective attitudes of the decision makers that are difficult to model using classical game theory.

To overcome the limitation of the pulse-coupled neural network (PCNN) for its application in processing of color images, the hue data were introduced into the basic PCNN model by adopting the signal generator to control the internal activities of cells. The pixels with the same grey level and different hue data were pulsed separately in the double-input PCNN. It is indicated that the double-input PCNN can achieve the segmentation of color images and is robust to noises. The experimental results on synthetic images and natural images verify the validity of the model.

A new coordination scheme for multi-robot systems is proposed. A state space model of the multi- robot system is defined and constructed in which the system's initial and goal states are included along with the task definition and the system's internal and external constraints. Task accomplishment is considered a transition of the system state in its state space (SS) under the system's constraints. Therefore, if there exists a connectable path within reachable area of the SS from the initial state to the goal state, the task is realizable. The optimal strategy for the task realization under constraints is investigated and reached by searching for the optimal state transition trajectory of the robot system in the SS. Moreover, if there is no connectable path, which means the task cannot be performed Successfully, the task could be transformed to be realizable by making the initial state and the goal state connectable and finding a path connecting them in the system's SS. This might be done via adjusting the system's configuration and/or task constraints. Experiments of multi-robot formation control with obstacles in the environment are conducted and simulation results show the validity of the proposed method.

The identification of the correspondences of points of views is an important task. A new feature matching algorithm for weakly calibrated stereo images of curved scenes is proposed, based on mere geometric constraints. After initial correspondences are built via the epipolar constraint, many point-to-point image mappings called homographies are set up to predict the matching position for feature points. To refine the predictions and reject false correspondences, four schemes are proposed. Extensive experiments on simulated data as well as on real images of scenes of variant dept.s show that the proposed method is effective and robust.

This paper introduces kernels on attributed pointsets, which are sets of vectors embedded in an euclidean space. The embedding gives the notion of neighborhood, which is used to define positive semidefinite kernels on pointsets. Two novel kernels on neighborhoods are proposed, one evaluating the attribute similarity and the other evaluating shape similarity. Shape similarity function is motivated from spectral graph matching techniques. The kernels are tested on three real life applications: face recognition, photo album tagging, and shot annotation in video sequences, with encouraging results.

The main factors of influencing the crack change of concrete dams can be reduced to three parts of water pressure, temperature and aging, but it is very difficult to get the effects of this three parts respectively. The nonlinear time-varying relationship between the crack change and its influencing factors is very strong. Using the unique ability of data analysis and learning of artificial neural network, and through the intercrossing of dam construction knowledge, then a good approach to solve these problems can be offered. In this paper, based on in-situ monitoring data of concrete dams, from the angle of machine learning, the time varying analysis model for causality of cracks of concrete dams is introduced, and the evolution law of load cracks with the change of time and load is analyzed and forecasted. The example indicates that the model can finely describe and forecast the time varying characteristic of cracks causality in concrete dams, and can give each factor's contribution to crack opening.
