Description: The strength of this book lies in its clear and precise examination of the theory of fuzzy systems. A rigorous study of the principles of fuzzy set theory supports the book's fundamental aim, which is to promote the development of fuzzy systems for successful real-world applications. The authors highlight two important application areas: approximate reasoning in knowledge-based systems, and fuzzy control. Reflecting the state of the art in fuzzy systems research, the book is both comprehensive and practical in its approach. Its illustration of key concepts is based on a detailed analysis of the underlying semantics. Each chapter is enhanced by useful historical notes and extensive references. The book presents several industrial case studies and exercises designed to increase its appeal to advanced students and researchers in computer science, applied mathematics and engineering.
