This paper surveys neuro fuzzy systems (NFS) development using classication and literature review of
articles for the last decade (20022012) to explore how various NFS methodologies have been developed during this period. Based on the selected journals of different NFS applications and different online
database of NFS, this article surveys and classies NFS applications into ten different categories such as
student modeling system, medical system, economic system, electrical and electronics system, trafc
control, image processing and feature extraction, manufacturing and system modeling, forecasting and
predictions, NFS enhancements and social sciences. For each of these categories, this paper mentions a
brief future outline. This review study indicates mainly three types of future development directions for
NFS methodologies, domains and article types: (1) NFS methodologies are tending to be developed toward
expertise orientation. (2) It is suggested that different social science methodologies could be implemented
using NFS as another kind of expert methodology. (3) The ability to continually change and learning
capability is the driving power of NFS methodologies and will be the key for future intelligent applications.

is why much relevant research has been conducted. AI methods

are mainly comprised of fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic programming and hybrid approaches such as neuro fuzzy systems,
genetic fuzzy systems and genetic programming neural networks
etc. Neuro-fuzzy systems refer to combinations of articial neural
network and fuzzy logic in the eld of articial intelligence, which
was proposed by Jang [1] in 1993. The basic idea behind this NFS is
that it combines human-like reasoning style of fuzzy systems with
the learning and connectionist structure of neural networks. NFS

provides powerful and exible universal approximations with the

ability to explore interpretable IF-THEN rules. The use of NFS is proliferating into many sectors in our social and technological life. As
a part of NFS research, this paper surveys the development of NFS
through a literature review and classication of articles from 2002
to 2012 based on applied methodologies, domains and article types.
Based on the survey, this paper explores a future research direction of NFS in various domains. The reason behind choosing this
period is that many authors started to shift to neuro fuzzy domains
for much improved result and a huge number of related applications were developed in this duration. This literature survey is
based on a search in the keyword index and article abstract for NFS
on the IEEE Xplore, Elsevier, ACM digital library, Springer, Ingenta,
EBSCO, Wiley Inter Science online database and many other reputed
journals and conference proceedings. Based on the scope of collected articles on NFS applications, this paper surveys and classies
NFS applications into ten different categories: student modeling
system, medical system, economic system, electrical & electronics system, trafc control, image processing & feature extraction,
manufacturing & system modeling, forecasting & predictions, NFS
enhancements and social sciences for different research and problem domains.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Sections 211
present the survey results of NFS methodologies, domains, and article types based on the above categories respectively. Section 12
presents some discussions and limitations of NFS methodologies
and applications. Finally Section 13 contains a brief conclusion and
future outline of NFS.
2. NFS in student modeling

Neuro fuzzy applications in educational eld are getting more
and more popular during the last decade (20022012) and that
is why much relevant research has been conducted. Neuro fuzzy
system has a wide range of applications in the educational
eld and new directions are constantly given in educational
research. According to Stathakopoulou et al. [2] student modeling is consisted of two components: the student model and
the diagnostic module. The student model is one of the components of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) which provides a
description of student related information such as his knowledge
level, skills or even preferences while diagnosis is the inference
process which results in the end updates of the student model.
Student modeling includes student classication, monitoring students actions, processing intelligent learning environment (ILE),
assessing students knowledge, evaluating students in intelligent
tutoring system, modeling students in web based ITS etc. A summary of thoughts contributed by various authors in this category is
described below.
During the last decade a number of researchers have contributed their innovations in this category. In the year 2003,
Stathacopoulou et al. [3] presented a neural network-based fuzzy
modeling approach to assess student knowledge. Authors used
fuzzy logic to handle the subjective judgments of human tutors
with respect to student observable behavior and knowledge, here
Student knowledge is decomposed into pieces and assessed by
combining fuzzy evidences, each one contributing to some degree
to the nal assessment. Later in 2004, they implemented a neural
network and fuzzy logic based model to achieve accurate student
diagnosis and updates the student model in intelligent learning
system (ILS) [4]. In the same year, they presented neural networkbased fuzzy model [5] to access students motivational state in
a discovery learning environment with the assistance of a group
of expert teachers. In 2004, Ali et al. [6] presented a neural fuzzy
inference system for modeling student in the context of web based
intelligent tutoring system. Web based intelligent tutoring system

provides a learner platform independence, time independence and
location independence and also without the expense of one to one
tutoring scopes. Later in 2006, Sevarac [7] presented a neuro-fuzzy
system for student modeling. The proposed system performed classication of students based on qualitative observations of their
characteristics. Next year Stathacopoulou et al. [8] implemented
a neural network based fuzzy diagnostic model by monitoring students learning style and teachers expertise behavior. Authors used
fuzzy logic to provide a linguistic description of students behavior and learning characteristics. They used neural networks to add
learning and generalization abilities to the fuzzy model by encoding
teachers experience through supervised neural-network learning.
In 2009, Taylan et al. [9] proposed adaptive neuro fuzzy inference
system (ANFIS) using genetic algorithm (GA) to assess students
academic performance. Recently, Iraji et al. [10] proposed student
classication technique using adaptive neuro fuzzy system. Adaptive neuro fuzzy system has established itself as one of the popular
modeling technique in the eld of control systems, expert systems and complex system modeling. Their motivation behind the
research work was to identify exceptional and week students for
proper attention. The methodology, domain and article type of student modeling system are categorized in Table 1.
3. NFS in medical system

A medical system, also sometimes referred to as health care
system is the organization of people, institutions and resources
to deliver health care services to meet the health needs of target
populations. Presently diseases in India have emerged as number
one killer in both urban and rural areas of the country. It will be of
greater value if the diseases are diagnosed in its early stage. Correct
diagnosis of the disease will decrease the death rate due to different diseases. Many clinical tests are being done to nd the presence
of the disease. In last decade neuro fuzzy applications in medical
system are getting huge attention and that is why much relevant
research has been conducted. NFS are being used for various typical
disease diagnoses like brain disorder, cardiac disease, breast cancer,
alzheimer, thyroid disorder, leukemia, hypotension, heart disease
etc. Following is a brief outline that shows how neuro fuzzy system
has been contributing in medical disease diagnosis since 2003.
In 2003, Neagoe et al. [12] proposed fuzzy gaussion neural
network to recognize the ECG signals for ischemic heart disease
diagnosis with the help of applied Principal Component Analysis
(PCA) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Mastorocostas and
Hilas [13] in 2004 presented fuzzy neural lter for the separation
of discontinuous lung sounds using dynamic orthogonal least
square method. Later in 2005 Mastorocostas and Theocharis [14]
presented the same fuzzy neural lter for real time separation of
discontinuous sounds from lung obtained from the patients. In the
same year Guler et al. [15] proposed adaptive neuro fuzzy inference
system (ANFIS) model for classication of electro encephalogram
(EEG) signals, which was clinically used to investigate brain disorder. Oweis et al. [16] in 2005 proved that neuro-fuzzy approach
could be one of the important modalities in image processing,
especially in the biomedical scenario where most diagnostic techniques rely on imaging. The presented pixel classication tool was a
highly useful, powerful, and independent of any expert or any prior
knowledge. After a couple of years Stavrakoudis et al. [17] presented the fuzzy neural lter to perform separation of lung sounds
involving the patients with pulmonary pathology. They used
TakagiSugenoKang (TSK) recurrent network for this purpose. In
the same year (2007), Polat and Gunes [18] paid their attention
for diabetes patients. Using expert system, Principal Component
Analysis (PCA) and proposed ANFIS, they started to improve

diagnostic accuracy of diabetes disease. They reached to the

classication accuracy point which was 89.47%, promising with
regard to other classication applications. Sengur [19] in 2008
investigated the use of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and
ANFIS to determine the normal and abnormal heart valves by diagnosing heart sounds. Ubeyli [20] in 2009 presented ANFIS for ECG
signal classication using Lyapunov exponents for improvement of
diagnostic accuracy. Later in 2010, Ovreiu and Simon [21] focused
on cardiac disease. They used biogeography based optimization
(BBO), Evolutionary Algorithm (EA), neuro fuzzy rules for cardiac
diagnosis. In the same year, Alamelumangai and DeviShree [22]
proposed particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize neuro fuzzy model for ultrasound image segmentation. This
system was tested for detecting the micro calcications in breast
sonograms. Obi and Imainvan [23] in 2011 analyzed Alzheimer
disease diagnosis using neuro fuzzy inference procedure. In that
year they also paid attention on lukemia diagnosis [24]. For diagnosis they used neuro fuzzy logic (NFL) and expert system based
procedure. Kumar et al. [25] in 2011 proposed fast ANFIS to detect
the occurrence of cancer. Fast adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (FANFIS) was used along with gene ranking technique called
analysis of variance (ANOVA). The learning technique used in this
paper is modied LevenbergMarquardt algorithm. Recently in
2012, Agboizebeta and Chukwuyeni [26] have focused on thyroid
disorder with the help of neuro fuzzy expert system using a set
of symptoms. The system designed was an interactive system
that was able to interact with the patient brieng his current
condition. They also proposed cognitive neuro fuzzy expert system
for hypotension control [27] in the same year. Ephzibah and Sundarapandian [28] concentrated on medical system for diagnosis of
heart disease. They used combination of neuro fuzzy technique and
other soft computing techniques like genetic algorithm. Khameneh
et al. [29] in 2012 has performed investigation using ANFIS to

detect abnormality in red blood cell and classify blood samples
into normal and abnormal category. Their motivation behind the
research work was to identify, classify, diagnosis different type of
disease for different elds. The methodology, domain and article
type of medical system are categorized in Table 2.
4. NFS in economic system
An economic system can be dened as an organization where a
person, country or area makes, distributes, consumes, buys or sells
services and goods. This type of system has a direct impact on various governments and also on public activities. NFS can be applied in
various eld of economic system like state economic, stock market,
toll collection, gas condensate, energy consumption, electric load
forecasting, price prediction, supply chain management etc. Since
the last decade, Neuro fuzzy applications in economic systems are
attaining huge attention of many researchers and a number of relevant researches have been conducted. Starting from stock market
to supply chain network, NFS has a wide range of applications in
the economic systems, a few of those are briey described here.
In the year 2005, Ang and Quek [31] proposed rough set-based
pseudo outer-product (RSPOP) for stock market prediction. The
proposed stock trading model avoids the forecast bottleneck and
synergizes the time delayed price difference forecast approach with
simple moving average rules for generating trading signals. Later
Lin et al. [32] provided a mathematical model using neuro fuzzy
approach to describe the online English auction process for nal
price prediction. In this paper, authors proposed a hybrid neuro
fuzzy method to predict the nal price in addition to exploring
the complicated possibly nonlinear relationship among the auction mechanisms and nal price. The empirical results showed that

neuro fuzzy system can predict the nal price accurately much
better than the others. Kablan [33] in 2009 focused on nancial
trading market. Using ANFIS model author achieved better performance in trading system. In the same year, Nowroozi et al. [34]
proposed NFS for gas condensate. Gumus et al. [35] did work on
supply chain network using neuro fuzzy procedure and mixed integer linear programming (MILP). Atsalakis and Valavanis [36] also
directed their research on stock market using ANFIS. In 2010, Mordjaoui et al. [37] presented a short term electric load forecasting
model using ANFIS for forecasting electric load in industry. Iranmanesh et al. [38] in 2011 proposed a forecast method based on
local linear neuro fuzzy (LLNF) model and fuzzy transform mechanism for energy consumption. Schott and Kalita [39] also presented
ANFIS in stock market prediction. Recently Kasa [40] used neuro
fuzzy system and fuzzy logic for economical decision making. In
the same year, Fang [41] proposed ANFIS in the application of
nancial crisis forecasting. Tsai and Chen [174] explored various
theories related to different kinds of natural disaster risk analysis
mechanisms, with the goal of establishing a rapid risk assessment model suited to the tourism industry that can be used to
quickly analyze disaster-forming characteristics and risk weaknesses in local regions. Last year Giovanis [42] predicted economic
crisis period in USA using two approaches: the rst approach
includes Logit and Probit models and the second is an adaptive
neuro-fuzzy inference system with Gaussian and generalized bell
membership functions. Liu et al. [157] combined three categories
of research (risk assessment based, life cycle assessment based and
criterion based) in an integrated framework to retrieve the benets of these three combined categories. Lin et al. [154] aimed
to develop a model for debris ow hazard assessment in Taiwan
using Kalman lter decision system. Besides these, a number
of researchers [141,142,145148,150,151,153,163166,168,173]
have contributed in this category. Researchers motivation behind
this research work was to predict and solve economic crisis of various eld. The methodology, domain and article type of economic
system are categorized in Table 3.
5. NFS in trafc control

Neuro fuzzy system has a wide range of applications in the
trafc control since last decade. Recently a number of researchers
are paying their attention in this category. Road trafc control is
the process which is used to describe how councils and highway
authorities control use of the road network in order to achieve
improvements in road safety and efciency. Network trafc control
is the process of managing, prioritizing, controlling or reducing the
network trafc to reduce congestion, latency and packet loss.
During the last decade a number of researchers have given their

concentration in this category. In 2005 Abdennour [44] developed
neuro fuzzy system for MPEG coded video trafc control which
is important for networking and internet multimedia. The reason
behind this development of the system was to simplify the system design and also for fast execution. The author proved that
neuro fuzzy systems could be very effective in long-term prediction of this type of trafc. Izquierdo et al. [45] in 2007, proposed
neuro fuzzy approaches for dynamic classication of the road vehicles to avoid road vehicles collision. In the same year, Partouche
et al. [46] presented a new approach to autonomously adapt the
speed of a vehicle by learning from a human driver and using anticipation. Later, Aseri and Bagai [47] proposed ANFIS to solve the
problem of rate control for Available Bit Rate (ABR) service class
in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. Sindal et al. [48]
in 2009 developed neuro fuzzy call admission control algorithm
to reduce voice data trafc in CDMA cellular network by transmitting signals as lower power level. In 2011, Abbas et al. [49]
proposed neuro fuzzy system for best route selection to avoid trafc congestion. They used neuro fuzzy logic and ant colony system
(ACS) algorithm for routing. The researchers motivation behind
the research work was to avoid road trafc, road accident, network
congestion, video trafc and vehicles congestion. The methodology, domain and article type of trafc control categorized in
Table 4.
6. NFS in image processing and feature extraction

Neuro fuzzy system has a wide range of applications in the imaging analysis. Imaging analysis is the process of extraction data or
information from images by means of image processing techniques.
Computers are indispensable for the analysis of large amounts
of data which contains the elds of computer or machine vision
and medical images for tasks that require complex computation for
the extraction of quantitative information and makes use of pattern
recognition, digital geometry, and signal processing. Some applications related to image processing and feature extraction include
emotion recognition, image steganalysis, noisy image processing,
face recognition and image compression. A brief description of
works done by various authors in the last decade is presented
below.
In 2005, Ioannou et al. [50] created rule based neuro fuzzy
system to describe an emotion recognition system. This system
combined psychological ndings about emotion representation
with analysis and evaluation of facial expressions. The authors classied facial expressions using a continuous 2D emotion space. Later
in 2007, Thanh et al. [51] proposed a generalized fuzzy inference

system (GFIS) in noise image processing which was a multi-layer

neuro-fuzzy structure that combined both Mamdani model and
TakagiSugeno (TS) fuzzy model to form a hybrid fuzzy system. GIFS acquired the interpretability property of the Mamdani
model and stability criteria of TakagiSugeno model. In the same
year Liu and Sung [52] presented a scheme based on feature mining and neuro-fuzzy inference system for detecting LSB matching
steganography in gray scale images. Support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) was proposed to obtain better
detection accuracy. Chakrapani and Soundararajan [53] proposed
ANFIS for fractal image compression (FIC) in spatial domain in 2009.
Authors used ANFIS based network for classifying the domain cells
of a gray level image based on its statistical characteristics to perform fractal image compression. This technique incorporated the
concept of NN in creating the rules and produced a fuzzy model
based on TakagiSugeno approach. In that year, Makhsoos et al. [54]
did their research work on face recognition using multi layer perceptron (MLP) network by combining fuzzy logic, neural network
and mixture of experts. They presented the importance of combining these two technologies (neural networks and fuzzy logic)
in face recognition. Marichal et al. [55] in their paper presented
an approach based on a simulated environment and the application of a Neuro-Fuzzy technique in order to extract features of the
environment by ultrasonic sensors while a vehicle is moving. In
the year 2010, Gomathi et al. [56] proposed neuro fuzzy approach
for facial expression recognition system to recognize the human
facial expressions like happy, fear, sad, angry, disgust and surprise
using local binary pattern (LBP) histogram. This model reported
95.29% of classication accuracy. Montazer et al. [57] proposed
a neuro-fuzzy inference engine to recognize the Farsi numeral
characters. Lin and Chen [177] developed an application using
fuzzy models for the monitoring of ecologically sensitive ecosystems in a dynamic semi-arid landscape from satellite imagery.
Sancheza et al. [132] introduced a novel neuro-fuzzy system FasArt
(Fuzzy Adaptive System ART-based) for both clustering and classication purpose which was tested on a dataset produced by
UNIPEN project. Motivation of the researchers behind this research
work is to reduce the noise in image, face recognition, image
compression, facial expression recognition, character recognition,
steganalysis in image etc. The methodology, domain and article
type of image processing and feature extraction are categorized in
Table 5.
7. NFS in forecasting and prediction

Forecasting and prediction is the process to predict future events
and conditions and should be key decision-making elements for
management in service organizations. The term forecasting is
sometimes reserved for estimates of values at certain specic future
times, while the term prediction is used for more general estimates
of values over a long period of times. During the last decade a huge
number of researchers have contributed their innovations in this
category and a number of research works have been conducted in
recent years.
In 2005, Nayak et al. [60] proposed an adaptive neuro fuzzy
inference system for river ow forecasting. Authors demonstrated
the applicability of neuro fuzzy systems in developing effective
nonlinear models of the rainfall-runoff process for short-term ood
forecasting. Ang and Quek [61] presented a novel rough-set based
neuro-fuzzy approach for forecasting stock trading difference. Lin
et al. [62] in 2008 proposed ANFIS based approach to predict sea
level using tide generating forces and sea surface temperature.
The proposed model named tide-generating forces considering sea
surface temperature and fuzzy neuro-network system (TGFT-FN).
This paper presented an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system
for predicting sea level considering tide-generating forces and
oceanic thermal expansion. Authors assumed that sea level is
dependent on sea surface temperature. Chen et al. [178] in 2009,
constructed a mathematical model for ocean environment to consider the inuence of the external waves on oceanic structures.
They employed TakagiSugeno fuzzy model in the approximation
of the oceanic Structure and performed stability analysis using the
Lyapunov direct method. Next year, Chen et al. [183] proposed a
TakagiSugeno fuzzy model based controller, which can attenuate
the inuence of the external wave force. The controller was evaluated in terms of stability analysis and the linear matrix inequality
(LMI) conditions. Later in 2011, Patil et al. [63] presented ANFIS
to predict ocean wave transmission. Authors implemented ANFIS
using neural network and back propagation algorithm. Chen [136]
presented a TakagiSugeno fuzzy model for the modeling and stability analysis of oceanic structures. Author discussed vibration
of the oceanic structure analytically based on fuzzy logic theory, fuzzy Lyapunov theory and a mathematical framework. Tseng
et al. [140] described a critical assessment of risk control decision model based on interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and

decision making method. ISM is an interactive learning process in

which a set of different and directly related elements are structured to form a comprehensive systemic model. Lin and Chen [170]
extended the TakagiSugeno fuzzy model representation and Lyapunov method to analyze the stability of community and ecosystem
hierarchies based on a framework of ecological hierarchy. Recently,
Sudheer and Mathur [64] integrated ANFIS with particle swarm
optimization algorithm to achieve steady uniform ow optimal
solution to a ground water ow and contaminant transport problem. Galavi et al. [65] in 2012 proposed ANFIS based method for
water resource forecasting. They used hybrid learning algorithm
for this purpose. Lin et al. [144] developed a fuzzy-rule-based risk
assessment model of debris ows to verify the accuracy of the risk
assessment in order to help related organizations reduce losses
caused by debris ows in Taiwan. Authors adopted a fuzzy-rulebased decision system to determine and verify the risk of debris
ows. Liu et al. [182] summarized the criteria of signicance evaluation from the past review results and utilized fuzzy rule-based
system to incorporate these criteria into scientic facts. They also
employed data mining technique to construct an environmental
impact statement for reviewing results. Besides these, a set of articles [155,156,162,169,179,185] can be included in this category,
which mainly concerns about bridge health monitoring, structural
damage, seismic hazard, risk analysis etc. An adaptive neuro fuzzy
inference system has established itself as one of the popular modeling technique in this eld. Their motivation behind the research
work was to predict and forecast in different categories-such as,
water resource forecasting, sea level prediction, oceanic structures,
risk control etc. The methodology, domain and article type of forecasting and prediction are categorized in Table 6.
8. NFS in manufacturing and system modeling
Manufacturing system comprise of equipment, products, people, information, control and support functions for the competitive
development to satisfy market needs. The term may refer to a range
of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production in which raw materials are
transformed into nished goods on a large scale. Manufacturing
takes turns under all types of economic systems. System modeling
concerns modeling the operation of an unknown system from a set
of measured input output data and has a wide range of applications
in various areas such as control, power systems, communications,
and machine intelligence. Systems modeling may be used in different ways as part of a process for improving and understanding of
a situation, identifying problems or formulating opportunities and
supporting decision making. In business and IT development the
term systems modeling has multiple meaning such as functional
modeling, business process modeling, enterprise modeling etc.
Applications in this category includes autonomous vehicles, gear
industry, underwater robotics, anti lock braking system, supply

chain management, unmanned ight control, pneumatic system,
software development time estimation, time varying system etc.
During the last decade a number of researchers have contributed their innovations in this category. Kim and Yuh [66] in
2002 described fuzzy membership function based neural network
for autonomous underwater vehicles of which the dynamics were
highly coupled, non-linear and time varying. They achieved this
by using on-line training algorithm with neural network. Then in
2004, Wang et al. [67] developed a neuro fuzzy diagnostic system for monitoring gear function. They used constrained gradient
reliability algorithm to facilitate decision making process which
signicantly improved the diagnostic accuracy. Chen et al. [184]
extended the TakagiSugeno (TS) fuzzy model representation for
the stability analysis of nonlinear interconnected systems with
multiple time-delays using linear matrix inequality (LMI) theory. In
the year 2005 many researchers [6872,137,138] started their journey in this category. Kim et al. [68] started working on underwater
vehicle dynamics using NF controller. They described a fast on-line
neuro fuzzy controller for underwater robots of which the dynamics are highly nonlinear, coupled, and time-varying. The neuro fuzzy
controller was based on the Fuzzy membership function neural network (FMFNN) with varying learning rate. Roy [69] proposed an
approach based on adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system for predicting surface roughness of the workpiece in turning operation for
set of given cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and
depth cut mainly used in manufacturing industry. Ouyang et al. [70]
developed a TSK-type neuro fuzzy network technique for deriving
a model from a given set of input-output data for system modeling problems. Kaitwanidvilai and Parnichkun [71] in their paper
investigated two types of controller: adaptive neuro fuzzy model
reference controller (ANFMRC) and hybrid ANFMRC to enhance the
controller performance for the pneumatic system. Pneumatics is a
section of technology that deals with the study and application
of pressurized gas to produce mechanical motion mainly used in
industries and factories. Yang et al. [72] developed a neuro-fuzzy
controller with self-organized optimal fuzzy rules and membership
functions to illustrate the effectiveness of the neuro fuzzy system on
vibration control of a hard spring system. Hsiao et al. [137] derived
a stability criterion for nonlinear multiple time-delay interconnected systems via Lyapunovs direct method. Authors proposed a
systematic design using TakagiSugeno fuzzy controller to ensure
the stability of nonlinear multiple time-delay interconnected systems. To overcome the effect of modeling errors between nonlinear
multiple time-delay subsystems and TakagiSugeno fuzzy models
with multiple time delays, Hsiao et al. [138] proposed a robustness design of fuzzy control using a model-based approach and
Lyapunovs direct method. In 2006, Raad and Raad [73] developed
neuro fuzzy controller to carry out adaptive channel reservation
in micro-cellular networks with general cell dwell times and call

2008, Marza et al. [75] aimed at building and evaluating a neurofuzzy model to estimate software projects development time which
is one of the challenging tasks for software developers. Authors
used MATLAB 7.4 to process the fuzzy logic, neural network and
neuro-fuzzy systems. Topalov et al. [76] presented a paper using
a new neuro-fuzzy adaptive control approach for development of
nonlinear dynamical systems, coupled with unknown dynamics,
modeling errors and various sorts of disturbances. This scheme
consisted of a conventional proportional plus derivative (PD) controller and a neuro-fuzzy feedback controller. After a few months
the authors modied their view on anti lock braking system using
a new variable structure systems-based (VSS-based) [77] on-line
learning algorithm for parameters adaptation. Sayedhoseini et al.
[78] in 2010 developed an approach based on adaptive neuro fuzzy
inference system for measurement of agility in supply chain management while agility is accepted as a winning strategy for growth,
even a basis for survival in certain business environments, the idea
of creating agile supply chain have become a logical step for companies. An agile supply chain (ASC) is frequently considered as a
dominant competitive advantage. Kurnaz et al. [79] in their paper
described an ANFIS (adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system) based
autonomous ight controller for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles)
with the help of three distinct operating modules implemented
in MATLAB. Perez et al. [131] presented a neuro-fuzzy controller

that has been applied to intelligent transportation systems. The

purpose of this controller was to improve the response of a vehicle propelled by a gasoline motor. Chen [167] presented a fuzzy
Lyapunov method to derive the stability conditions for an interconnected fuzzy system which represents real structural systems.
Chen [172] provided a systematic and effective framework for the
control of time-delayed nonlinear structural systems subjected to
external excitations. He constructed global fuzzy logic controller
based on TS fuzzy controller design techniques. In 2011, Abiyev
et al. [80] designed a type-2 TSK based fuzzy neural system (FNS)
structure for identication of dynamic time-varying plants and
equalization of time-varying channel. The usage of type-2 fuzzy
sets enables the system to cope with uncertainties and to handle
uncertain information effectively. Chen et al. [139] proposed an
intelligent adaptive controller to handle the computational burden and dynamic uncertainty of multivariable systems to make the
model-based decoupling approach simpler to implement in a realtime control system. In this study the adaptive controllers were
based on fuzzy systems and the initial parameter vector values are
based on the genetic algorithm. Chen [176] developed a neuralnetwork (NN) based approach which combines TagagiSugeno
fuzzy control for the purpose of stabilization and stability analysis of nonlinear systems. Farooq et al. [81] designed a neuro fuzzy
approach for the autonomous vehicle speed controller where the
system knowledge representation and the learning mechanism
made it easier to adapt the environment and control the speed
to avoid the trafc congestion and collision. Topalov et al. [82]
developed a Neuro-fuzzy control of antilock braking system using
sliding mode incremental learning algorithm. Recently Mahdaoui
et al. [83] used NF diagnostic approach along with TSK/Mamdani
250
model and pattern recognition technique in manufacturing system

for fault diagnosis. In last year (2012) Kayacan et al. [84] modeled
intelligent control of tractor implement system by using type 2
fuzzy neural network (T2FNN). Authors used a novel sliding mode
control theory based learning algorithm for training purpose of
T2FNN. Chen [161] addressed the stability conditions for nonlinear
systems with multiple time delays to ensure the stability of building structure control systems based on the fuzzy Lyapunov method.
The delay independent conditions were derived via the traditional
Lyapunov and fuzzy Lyapunov methods for multiple time-delay
systems as approximated by the TakagiSugeno fuzzy model. Yeh
et al. [181] proposed a method using neural-network fuzzy control
mechanism for a time-delay chaotic building system where a novel
stability condition was derived using the fuzzy Lyapunov method.
Authors used both the TagakiSugeno fuzzy model and parallel distributed compensation (PDC) scheme in the controller design. The
researchers motivation behind the research work was to improve
the performance in manufacturing system and system modeling.
The methodology, domain and article type of manufacturing and
system modeling is categorized in Table 7.
9. NFS in electrical and electronics system

Impact of electrical and electronics system in our daily life is
increasing day by day. As a result, much relevant research have been
conducted in this eld since last decade. Electrical systems differ
around the world both in voltage and less critically frequency. It
is used to connect one or more pieces of equipment to or part of a
structure and designed to provide a service such as heat or electricity or water or sewage disposal. Electronic systems are groupings
of electronic circuits and components that focus on the higher
abstraction level concerns rst and foremost, used to accomplish
one or more complex functions. Both electrical and electronics systems enhance the overall operation and also improve the operators
safety, through various safety circuits and applied methods. Some
of the applications implemented by NFS in the eld of electrical
and electronics system are thermal process, electrical drives, transformer currents, circuit theory, power system, servo system and
signal processing. Used methodology for various applications and
article types are grouped in Table 8. A brief description of works
carried out by various authors is presented below.
During the last decade a number of researchers have contributed
their innovations in this category. In 2004, Mbede et al. [91] used
neuro fuzzy motion controller to generate fuzzy local planner algorithm to t the needs of autonomous mobile manipulator that
would generate the commands for robot. Mastorocostas et al. [85]
started their work on signal processing using simple Fuzzy Neural Network. In the same year Khorashadi and Aghaebrahimi [92]
presented a fuzzy-neuro application for an inrush detector in the
differential protection of three-phase power transformers. Goel
et al. [93] presented a neuro-fuzzy network where all the parameters were tuned simultaneously using Genetic Algorithms applied
in thermal processing unit. Next year Chang et al. [94] proposed
neural fuzzy call admission and rate controller scheme for cellular network systems to provide multirate service. They achieved
low forced termination probability and high system capacity in
busy trafc conditions. Chopra et al. [95] presented an article on
control system using different types of methods, such as, optimization, extraction, clustering and NF technique. Mihai [96] in 2008
made an analysis of an already successful electrical drive system
(based on a vector control) with the intention to generate the best
data for designing a neuro-fuzzy controller for the speed loop. In
the same year Fujimoto et al. [97] developed a fuzzy inference
circuit that generated membership functions and inference rules
automatically in the learning process. Authors designed this circuit
by using hardware description language Verilog-HDL and realized

on the FPGA (eld programmable gate array). Later in 2009, Mihai
[98,99] designed a Neural Network for getting good result in electrical drives system using ANN training procedure. In the same year,
Allaou et al. [100] presented an application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy
inference system control for DC motor speed optimization with
swarm collective Intelligence. Kumar et al. [101] proposed a NF
inference system using Mamdani type Fuzzy controller and Unied Power Flow Controller (UPFC) applied on power system. Later,
Aras et al. [102] showed their interest of research on servo system using type-2 fuzzy neural system (T2FNS). The authors also
presented a NF system using supervised learning algorithm in the
same eld of servo system [103]. Deniz et al. [135] proposed neurofuzzy controller (NFC) which was an intelligent controller for the
control of Distribution Static Compensators (D-STATCOM) d and
q-axis currents. It is observed that the maximum work was done
in this eld in 2011. Yetilmezsoy et al. [104] developed an articial
intelligence based modeling scheme using the ANFIS methodology for modeling of water-in-oil emulsion formation. The proposed
neuro-fuzzy model was provided resin, saturate, asphaltene, aromatics, viscosity and density data as the input variables which are
readily available for most of the oils. In this year another work was
done on electrical machines using SMC based algorithm by Cigdem et al. [105]. Dastranj et al. [106] structured an ANFIS using
neuro fuzzy logic, neuro fuzzy controller in DC motor. Mohandes
et al. [107] in 2011 used the same method and proposed same
approach for experimentation on wind rm. Also Kayacan et al.
[108] concentrated on neuro fuzzy system and done their work on
servo system using T2FNS. Recently they presented two different
research work in this eld: in laboratory servo system using SMC
approach, type-2 fuzzy logic system (T2FLS) [109] and another in
hydraulic servo system using same approach SMC and T2FLS [110].
Coteli et al. [133] performed an experiment for controlling Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM) which is a nonlinear,
semi-dened and time-varying device using neuro fuzzy controller.
Pfeufer and Ayoubi [134] developed a hybrid neuro fuzzy system
for automobile actuator. Their motivation behind the research work
was to design electrical and electronics based model.
10. NFS in NFS enhancement

According to the collected articles from different online
database, it is obvious that since last decade NFS enhancement
is becoming the key research area for many researchers. Some
authors have concentrated on knowledge reading from fuzzy rules
whereas others have contributed on exible neuro-fuzzy systems.
A brief description on the developments of NFS is given below.
In 2002, Castellano et al. [113] performed their experiment
successfully to extract knowledge from data in the form of fuzzy
rules using learning algorithm based on gradient descent algorithm (GDA). Valdes [114] discovered the patterns of dependency
in heterogeneous multivariate dynamic systems with similaritybased neuro-fuzzy networks and evolutionary algorithms. Next
year, Rutkowski and Cpalka [115] derived a neuro-fuzzy structures,
which is called exible neuro-fuzzy inference systems based on
input-output data with the help of Mamdani and logical approach
where along with the parameters, system type (Mamdani or logical) was also learned. In the same year, Alimi [116] presented Beta
function and its main properties using central limit theorem and
evolutionary algorithm. Authors showed that Beta neuro-fuzzy system was successfully implemented in VLSI circuit. Later in 2007,
Chatterjee and Siarry [117] proposed linguistic hedge based neurofuzzy classier (LHBNFC) applicable for problem solving domains
in fuzzy systems. They employed linguistic hedges to dene the
exible shapes of the fuzzy membership functions (MFs). Authors

at that time, Serra and Buttura [118] presented an algorithm known
as instrumental variable QR algorithm for neuro-fuzzy identication of multivariable discrete-time nonlinear dynamic systems.
Later, Juarez et al. [119] described the neural fuzzy digital ltering

and interrelations between parameters in the design of neurofuzzy. Nowicki [121] presented an approach to fuzzy classication
in the case of missing data using rough-neuro-fuzzy classier in
2010. In same year, Cetisli [122] developed an adaptive neurofuzzy classier (ANFC) using linguistic hedges (LH). Chen et al.
[171] proposed an intelligent adaptive controller using genetic
algorithm for handling two main difculties in a neural network
controller which are the selection of most appropriate initial values for the parameter vector and overcoming the coupling effect
in multi-variable system control. Chen and Chen [180] proposed
a method for stability analysis using a GA-Based adaptive neural network controller (ANNC). Recently, Wu et al. [123] has done
a comparison between fuzzy inference system (FIS) and neural
network models with some examples and introduced circuit implementations of NFS. Kayacan et al. [124] proposed a novel learning
algorithm to train type-2 fuzzy neural networks using variable
structured system (VSS) approach. In their study, authors tuned the
network weights instead of trying to minimize the error function.
Sigdem et al. [125] in 2011 presented sliding mode control theorybased learning algorithm to train the fuzzy neural networks in a

their research endeavor for improvement of NFS. They explored an
online tuning method for the parameters of a fuzzy neural network
using variable structure systems theory. Same authors investigated
a new training approach for type-2 fuzzy neural networks based
on the LevenbergMarquardt algorithm [127]. While conventional

produced a faster training procedure. Chen [159] presented stability conditions for a TS fuzzy model using fuzzy Lyapunov methods
where the fuzzy Lyapunov function was dened by fuzzy blending
quadratic Lyapunov functions. Chen [160] presented a (NN)-based

11. NFS in social sciences

Knowledge required for social regulation can be of two types:
explicit and tacit [130]. Explicit knowledge relates to the community culture indicating how things work in the community based
on social policies and procedures. Tacit knowledge is ethics and
norms of the community. The former could be codied, stored and
transferable in order to support decision making, while the latter
being based on personal knowledge, experience and judgments is
difcult to codify and store.
As per our knowledge no such contribution of NFS is found in
social sciences since last decade. Lazareyica et al. [129] in 2004
proposed a neuro-fuzzy modeling to support knowledge management in social regulation. They investigated neuro-fuzzy support
of knowledge management in social regulation. In their model, the
explicit knowledge was based on social policies and procedures
to reduce smoking among youngsters. Authors expressed the tacit
knowledge through the membership functions. The following table

12. Discussions and limitations
12.1. Discussion
Survey on NFS methodologies and applications are a broad category of research area in the articial intelligence eld. Category
wise classication of NFS methodologies help in solving and understanding specic problems both in academic and practical elds.
Various NFS methodologies have made it easier to solve typical
problems in faster way and authors are giving much more attention to use those process. From this literature review it is clear that
various NFS developments were focused as authors research areas,
expertise and problem domains were different.
It is found that some authors are having common concept and
methodologies with different application elds. However, a few
authors work with different techniques and methodologies. This
indicates that the trend of development on methodology is also
diversied due to authors research interests and abilities in the
methodology and domain. This may indicate that the development
of NFS methodologies and domains is directed toward expertise
orientation.
There are some applications such as student modeling, medical
diagnosis, manufacturing, system modeling, forecasting, prediction, economic system, image processing, electrical, electronics,
trafc control etc. are all topics of different methodologies and
applications. It can be said that those applications are the major
trend of NFS development and focus on different problems. This
may direct development of NFS methodologies and article types
toward problem domain orientation. Fig. 1 shows the impact of

NFS development on various applications. Fig. 2 shows year wise

development of NFS and applications.
In this paper, most of the articles of different categories are
mainly retrieved from IEEE Xplore, Elsevier, ACM digital library,
Springer, Ingenta, EBSCO and Wiley Inter Science online database.
This article has also reviewed a number of national and international conference proceedings including Asian Control Conference
(ASCC), International Conference on Adaptive and Intelligent Systems (ICAIS) etc. for investigating various methods and applications
of NFS. Yet we cant conclude that NFS methodologies are not developed in other science elds. However, we would like to see more
development of NFS in different research elds published in order
to broaden our horizon of academic and practice works on NFS.
According to the collected articles from various online
databases, journals and conference proceedings, in the last decade,
it is seen that in the year 2003 and 2004 researchers mainly focused
on the student modeling system, medical system and intelligent
learning system using combined approach of neural network and
fuzzy logic. In 2005 their focus was widened on various systems
like electrical systems, manufacturing and system modeling, imaging analysis, economic systems, prediction etc. Real evaluation of
NFS has been started from this year in terms of adaptive neuro fuzzy
inference system. In 2006 authors started focusing on networking
system, economic system and also on intelligent learning system
using hybrid neuro fuzzy model. In 2007 and 2008, researchers continued their study with more innovative ideas like adopting support
vector machine along with ANFIS. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, a new
direction in the neural network led was noticed with the application of soft computing technique and advanced learning algorithms.
In these years authors expressed their interest specically in medical systems for disease classication, diagnosis and prediction.
Based on our reviewed articles we can say that authors are paying their interest in applying neuro fuzzy systems to those cases
where past experience and user feedback can help enormously for

better result. Classication of research work in different years in

most sited journals and conferences are shown in Table 12. The following table (Table 11) illustrates a brief evolution of neuro fuzzy
systems and applications in year wise manner.
12.2. Limitations
Research work on NFS is distributed over a wide domain and it
is very much difcult to collect, study and classify the concerned
articles. The authors have attempted to do a brief review of NFS articles developed in the last decade to explore how NFS has evolved
in the previous years. Due to the larger domain of NFS system

and applications some articles might be missing. This is one of the
main limitations of this article. Also non-English publications which
determine the efforts of different culture on the development of NFS
are not included in this review process. The authors believe that a
number of NFS methods and applications might be developed in
other languages.
Since NFS is an interdisciplinary research topic so future
trends of NFS developments might be the integration of different methods and techniques in promising areas. As it can inherit
the learning capability from past experiences, one can easily

research.
13. Conclusion and future outline

This paper is based on literature review of NFS methodologies and applications from 2002 to 2012 using the keyword index
and article title search from the online database. Although this
study searches articles from online database during the last decade,
recently a number of researchers [143,148152,186,187] have contributed in this methodology which strengthen the applicability
of NFS based approaches. We can conclude that a number of NFS
methodologies are tending toward expertise orientation. Proposed
domains are used to nd out application area and article types are
dened to categorize papers of different context. NFS classication
can actually help us to explore applications in new unknown areas.
It can be asserted that some social science, technological eld, real
life applications could be implemented by NFS. Integration of qualitative, quantitative and scientic methods and integration of NFS
methodologies may broaden our horizon on this subject. Finally
the ability to continually change and learning ability is the power
of NFS methodologies and will be the NFS application domains and
article types of future works.
Further development in student modeling category might
include a specialized software tool for creating and adjusting
student modeling, classication or reasoning components. The
applicability of the evaluation procedure can further be extended
by exploiting the training and generalization capabilities of the neural networks to extract information from existing student records.
These records implicitly contain a true picture of the possible
knowledge levels of the students and of the possible learning paths.
Further investigation for the effect of the different parameters and
structural features of proposed diagnostic processes is necessary in
order to determine their inuence in the accuracy of the assessment
and adjust them accordingly. Future work might consist of other
factors such as intelligence quotient (IQ) tests, different types of
membership functions, different types of neural network and optimization algorithms. In future one may implement an interface by
which the teacher can interact and modify the adjusting parameters of the membership functions, as well as the weights in the
fuzzy relations. Intelligent helping system could be built up for students during learning interaction, based on student classication
regarding their learning style provided by the model.
In medical system it should be noted that no system was
designed to give required prescription of various drugs to patients
for subsequent treatment, which might be expanded in subsequent
research. A system of this nature that has the ability to diagnose
a person suffering from specic disease should be introduced in
health care delivery clinics and hospitals to help ease the work of
physicians. A few suggested approaches may be enhanced by some
pre-processing procedures that might boost up the characteristics
of the system. Some proper adjustments in the learning schemes or
the training sets can also increase the efciency of the system, especially choosing the optimal subtractive clustering parameters. Fast
adaptive neuro fuzzy systems can be applied to various applications
as it takes lesser time for convergence.
In economics system there is a huge scope of future development using ANFIS. The ANFIS is a class of adaptive networks, which
are functionally equivalent to the fuzzy inference system and a
popular computing framework based on the concepts of fuzzy set
theory, fuzzy if-then rules, and fuzzy reasoning. ANFIS might be
examined with additional fuzzy membership functions, as trapezoidal, triangular and S-shaped function among others. Moreover,
GA and hybrid GA can be used, as an alternative optimization algorithm.
255
In future state of the art technology like microelectronics might

be used to develop the hardware of any trafc control system for
faster processing. Future works might be focused on the use of
automatic methods for the detection of this number directly from
data. Researches would lead us to the generation of more accurate
and user-friendly fuzzy rules susceptible of being contrasted with
a human expert.
Image processing and feature extraction acts as a sole of many
experiments. In the near future generalized fuzzy inference system
could be expanded to process color images. Moreover, the uniform
distribution impulsive noise model would be further explained.
Future extensions might include emotion recognition based on
combined facial and gesture analysis. These could provide the
means to create systems that will combine analysis and synthesis of facial expressions for providing more expressive and friendly
interactions.
It is seen that the ANFIS was used in most of the articles included
in forecasting and predictions category. Authors also used different
algorithms such as hybrid learning algorithm and back propagation algorithm. The applicability of the evaluation procedure can
further be extended by exploiting the training and generalization
capabilities of the neural networks to extract information from
existing forecasting and prediction eld. The proposed TGFT-FN
model would be applicable to tidal and sea level simulation in the
case where tides at a point are not available so that harmonic analysis cannot be applied. The experimental results of this category
are highly encouraging and suggest that an adaptive neuro fuzzy
approach is viable for developing many more forecasting system
like as price prediction, weather prediction etc.
Manufacturing and system modeling using NFS is proved to be
one of best techniques in industry. Further research is necessary
to compare efciency of different models for measuring agility
in supply chain management. Although authors have done their
study in the Iranian manufacturing enterprises, different novelties
of proposed procedure (that is, applying ANFIS and using different
capabilities for an ASC) might be applied for surveying other real
life cases. Considering enablers in agility evaluation and investigating the impact of them on capabilities could be studied in further
researches. Also nding the relations between enablers and capabilities could be the focus of future research in order to design a
dynamic system for ASC measurement. Articles those presented
antilock braking system using neuro fuzzy controller could emphasize computational simplicity as one of its prominent features. For
any complex process, Articles those used type 1 fuzzy approach
with neural network might use type 2 fuzzy approach as type 2
process consumes less number of rules than type 1 such that the
number of parameters that need to be updated would be less. In
future state of the art Microelectronics technology could help to
develop the hardware of the vehicle moving system to achieve
more accuracy. As the main problem regarding fuzzy and recurrent fuzzy neural networks that limits their application range is
the difculty of proper adjustment of fuzzy weights and biases,
one can put more emphasize on the implied training algorithm.
Neuro-fuzzy systems have many applications in intelligent transport systems. Neuro-fuzzy techniques could be used to model the
behavior of the vehicle that would improve the current controllers
in the autonomous driving. How to deal with stability and stabilization problems for T-S fuzzy systems would also be a signicant
area for future study.
According to the survey on NFS in the last decade, we can
conclude that research interest has been diversied in this Electrical and Electronics eld as well as in technique also. When
some researchers working with transformer current then anothers
are working with electrical drives, control system, wind rm etc.
Initially they were using simple neuro fuzzy logic, genetic algorithm, NF controller, optimization algorithm etc. but from 2009
256
they started to propose ANFIS. In 2010 it is seen that they concentrated mostly on T2FLS. That means application of proposed
approach is getting modied due to time. Some research work can
be done in electronics system such as, electronics circuit, laboratory, television, VLSI, electronics manufacturing systems etc. for
future work, and also in electrical system such as, power plant,
machines, electrical manufacturing system etc.
Further extensions of NFS might use different t-norms in the
rule inference mechanism and could use different measurements to
evaluate the degree of overlapping between fuzzy sets. As work has
been done on interpretability of rule antecedents, future research
might aim to deal with interoperability of rule consequents. As
a future research, the selection of optimal parameters would be
formulated as an evolutionary search to make the neuro-fuzzy systems fully adaptable and optimal according to user requirements.
As observed NFS have a few contributions in social regulations.
Use of NFS for preparing articial instruments especially for physically disabled person might be a revolution in coming years. It is
expected that NFS will change our lifestyle in near future.
