V.Mary Sumalatha, K.V.Ramani, K.V.Lakshmi . Fuzzy Inference System to Control PC Power Failures. International Journal of Computer Applications. 28, 4 ( August 2011), 10-17. DOI=10.5120/3377-4671
If there is any one component that is absolutely vital to the operation of a computer, it is the power supply. Without it, a computer is just an inert box full of plastic and metal. The power supply converts the alternating current line to the direct current needed by the personal computer. This paper presents an application of fuzzy logic to control power failures in personal computers. The application uses fuzzy sets, fuzzy if-then rules and fuzzy inference system. Fuzzy logic is widely used to solve uncertain problems. Fuzzy inference systems (FIS) are widely used for process simulation or control. They can be designed either from expert knowledge or from data. For complex systems, FIS based on expert knowledge only may suffer from a loss of accuracy. This is the main incentive for using fuzzy rules inferred from data.
