The care for the elderly and people with disability increasingly demand more ingenuity to undertake, especially as it relates to the built environment. The impact of the physical environment on health has been widely documented. The knowledge of the special needs/preferences of this vulnerable group of users (people suffering from Alzheimer,...

A method for fusion of perceptions is presented. It is based on probabilistic treatment of perception, where perception quantifies the chance an unbiased observer sees an environmental object, and the associated probability can be interpreted as degree of awareness for the object. The approach uniquely accounts for the fact that final...

A method for quantifying ambient surveillance is presented, which is based on probabilistic-possibilistic perception. The human surveillance of a scene through observing camera sensed images on a monitor is modeled in three steps. First immersion of the observer is simulated by modeling perception of the scene from the camera locations using...

Analysis of an ambient environment by means of perception is described. The surveillance of an object by human, who watches a scene via a monitor that shows camera sensed information, is investigated. Although the camera sensing process is a deterministic process, human perception of a scene via camera sensed information is a probabilistic...

A cognitive system is presented, which is based on coupling a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm with a fuzzy information processing system. The aim of the system is to identify optimal solutions for multiple criteria that involve linguistic concepts, and to systematically identify a most suitable solution among the alternatives. The...

An innovative neural fuzzy system is considered for possibilistic reliability using a neural tree structure with nodes of neuronal type. The total tree structure works effectively as a fuzzy logic system where the possibility theory plays important role with Gaussian possibility distribution at the nodes. The structure of the tree is determined...

An innovative neural fuzzy system is considered for cognitive design using a neural tree structure with nodes of neuronal type, where Gaussian function plays the role of membership function. The total tree structure effectively works as a fuzzy logic system. The structure of the tree is determined by domain knowledge and each node represents an...

Multi-objective-optimization-based positioning of houses in a residential neighborhood is described. The task is the placement of the buildings in a favorable configuration constrained by two objectives, which are garden performance and visual privacy performance requirements. The method used is evolutionary computation with the Pareto front...

A novel approach for performance-based design is presented, where Pareto optimality is pursued. Design requirements may contain linguistic information, which is difficult to bring into computation or make consistent their impartial estimations from case to case. Fuzzy logic and soft computing are the essential means to deal with this matter. In...

One building is more flexible in terms of use than the other and to determine how much a building ‘X’ is more flexible than a building ‘Y’ is a rather complex task. This research focuses on houses for the elderly in terms of future use, since the requirements have changed and many of the existing buildings do not meet new requirements. To asses...

Studies on computer-based perception by vision modelling are described. The visual perception is mathematically modelled where the model receives and interprets visual data from the environment. The perception is defined in probabilistic terms so that it is in the same way quantified. Human visual perception mimicked by means of a computer is an...

Fusion of perception information for perceptual robotics is described. The visual perception is mathematically modelled as a probabilistic process obtaining and interpreting visual data from an environment. The visual data is processed in a multiresolutional form via wavelet transform and optimally estimated via extended Kalman filtering in each...

Implications of design decisions are hard to oversee for designers. This is the case in particular with respect to decisions, which influence perception related qualities of designs. Such qualities are for example visual openness, visual privacy, and spatial intimacy. They are difficult to measure because of their subjective and soft nature....

This paper focuses on bridging the gap between inception and design stages in an analytic way (by using semantic and mathematical modelling) particularly enlightening design priority by using Requirements Specifications. The Requirements Specifications are context-dependent, i.e. a consequence of producing one-of-a-kind projects (typical of the...

Being an intelligent activity, design is a complex process to accomplish. The complexity stems from the elusive character of this activity, which cannot be explained in precise terms, in general. In a design process, the determined relationships among the design elements provide important information to understand the role of each element with...

Artificial neural networks are powerfultools for analysing information expressed as data sets, which contain complex nonlinear relationships to be identified and classified. In particular radial basis function (RBF) neural networks have outstanding features for this. However, due to far reaching implications of the basis functions in the...

The last decade, civil engineering has exercised a rapidly growing interest in the application of neurally inspired computing techniques. The motive for this interest was the promises of certain information processing characteristics, which are similar to some extend, to those of human brain. The immediate examples of these include an ability to...
