Fuzzy control : theory and practice

Abstract

"The present edited volume is of special importance, and for various reasons: First of all, it is a most comprehensive and multifaceted coverage of broadly perceived fuzzy control in the literature. The editors have succeeded to collect papers from leading scholars and researchers on various subjects related to the topic of the volume. What is relevant and original is that - opposed to so many volumes on fuzzy control that are strongly technically oriented and covering a narrow spectrum of issues relevant to fuzzy control itself - the editors have adopted a more general and far sighted approach." (From the foreword by Janusz Kacprzyk) Besides the theory and application of fuzzy control, original results on special problems in fuzzy sets theory, like simulation, problems of measurement, connectives in fuzzy logic, neural network and genetic approaches, are presented.
