Optical Color Computing Architecture in Decision Support Systems

Abstract

In this chapter, we carry out a comparative analysis of the efficiency of optical color logic devices in processing fuzzy input information in comparison with various algorithms (FPGA, x86-x64, ARM, ARM serial execution) based on the binary representation of fuzzy sets. To implement the proposed optical architecture for constructing a decision support system (DSS), we describe the principles of forming a real-time changing multifactorial fuzzy color database. These principles are illustrated on the example of components of a dispatch service for managing intensive traffic of sea ships and/or aircraft. We present examples of implementing components of a two-level DSS for traffic safety management and for organizing servicing of sea vessels and aircraft. The results of the performance evaluation of computational operations with fuzzy sets demonstrate a higher speed of optical computations due to a significantly smaller number of operations and the organization of parallel structures. We also provide examples of using logical operations in DSS to obtain estimates for a certain set of input data. These examples show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
