This paper puts forward a fuzzy inference system for evaluating the quality performance of service contract providers. An Application Service Provider was designed and put online, featuring surveys to establish the most useful indicators to evaluate the quality of the service. This model was implemented in 10 separate hospitals. As a result, the service cost-acquisition cost ratio in these cases was reduced from 16.14% to 6.09% in the period 2001-January 2003.

While the pet market is continuously rapidly increasing in Korea, pet dog owners feel uncomfortable in coping with pet dog's health problems in time. In this paper, we propose a pre-diagnosis system based on neuro-fuzzy learning, enabling non-expert users to monitor their pets' health by inputting observed symptoms. To develop such a system, we form a disease-symptom database based on several textbooks with veterinarians' guidance and filtering.

Smart water injection (SWI) is a practical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique that improves displacement efficiency on micro and macro scales by different physiochemical mechanisms. However, the development of a reliable smart tool to predict oil recovery factors is necessary to reduce the challenges related to experimental procedures. These challenges include the cost and complexity of experimental equipment and time-consuming experimental methods for obtaining the recovery factor (RF).

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) aim to automate transportation fully. A key part of this automation includes tasks such as traffic light detection and automatic braking. While indoor experiments are prevalent due to computational demands and safety concerns, there is a pressing need for research and development of new features to achieve complete automation, addressing real-world implementation challenges by testing them in outdoor environments.

The increasing concern about global warming and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves has led to a growing interest in alternative energy sources, particularly fuel cells (FCs). These green energy sources convert chemical energy into electrical energy, offering advantages such as quick initiation, high power density, and efficient operation at low temperatures. However, the performance of FCs is influenced by changes in operating temperature, and optimal efficiency is achieved by operating them at their maximum power point (MPP).
