Quantum Fuzzy Inference Engine for Particle Accelerator Control by Giovanni Acampora, Michele Grossi, Michael Schenk, Roberto Schiattarella

“…However, there are no practical demonstrations that the QFIE can be used to efficiently manage complex systems. This article bridges this gap by using, for the very first time, the QFIE to control critical systems such as those related to particle accelerator facilities at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). …”

Simulating Intraurban Land Use Dynamics under Multiple Scenarios Based on Fuzzy Cellular Automata: A Case Study of Jinzhou District, Dalian by Jun Yang, Weiling Liu, Yonghua Li, Xueming Li, Quansheng Ge

“…Under the 5 m × 5 m scale, the model shows good performance for simulation of areas with various land use types. (2) Among simulations under four scenarios, the effect of traffic guidance on the development of construction land was more distinct under the economic development mode, which clearly showed the phenomenon of “agglomeration” along major traffic lines. (3) Jinshitan Street is adjacent to the sea, and land use changes are significant under the 4th scenario, and thus related departments should pay more attention. (4) Shortcomings of conventional cellular automata model in processing complex systems could be mitigated through the integration of fuzzy sets.…”
