Fuzzy Logic Applications in Engineering Science


Book Description

Fuzzy logic is a relatively new concept in science applications. Hitherto, fuzzy logic has been a conceptual process applied in the field of risk management. Its potential applicability is much wider than that, however, and its particular suitability for expanding our understanding of processes and information in science and engineering in our post-modern world is only just beginning to be appreciated. Written as a companion text to the author’s earlier volume "An Introduction to Fuzzy Logic Applications", the book is aimed at professional engineers and students and those with an interest in exploring the potential of fuzzy logic as an information processing kit with a wide variety of practical applications in the field of engineering science and develops themes and topics introduced in the author’s earlier text.

Fuzzy Logic


Book Description

Since its inception, fuzzy logic has attracted an incredible amount of interest, and this interest continues to grow at an exponential rate. As such, scientists, researchers, educators and practitioners of fuzzy logic continue to expand on the applicability of what and how fuzzy can be utilised in the real-world. In this book, the authors present key application areas where fuzzy has had significant success. The chapters cover a plethora of application domains, proving credence to the versatility and robustness of a fuzzy approach. A better understanding of fuzzy will ultimately allow for a better appreciation of fuzzy. This book provides the reader with a varied range of examples to illustrate what fuzzy logic can be capable of and how it can be applied. The text will be ideal for individuals new to the notion of fuzzy, as well as for early career academics who wish to further expand on their knowledge of fuzzy applications. The book is also suitable as a supporting text for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level modules on fuzzy logic, soft computing, and applications of AI.




Fuzzy Information Engineering


Book Description

Fuzzy logic allows computer programmers to interpret ambiguous commands that ordinary, rigid programs are unable to decipher. For instance, computers can work with words like "tall" and "expensive" rather than 6'5" or $669.95. This book covers the use of fuzzy logic in the information science and information engineering fields.




Fuzzy Logic


Book Description

This edited volume contains ten papers on the subject of fuzzy technology. Fuzzy technology emerged as a combination of fuzzy sets theory, fuzzy logic and fuzzy-based reasoning. As a technology it gained a very practical meaning through thousands of applications in different theoretical as well as practical disciplines, covering mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, life science, social science, economy, computer science, and (foremost) electrical, electronic, mechanical, nuclear, chemical, textile, aeronautic, ocean, and many other engineering disciplines. The goal of this book is to create an interest in fuzzy technology among researchers, engineers, professionals and students involved in the research and development in the broad area of artificial intelligence. This book is also intended to bring the reader up-to-date in the area of implementations and applications of fuzzy technology, as well as to generate and stimulate new research ideas in this area. It may inspire and motivate the researcher in new directions, as well as creating a force for new efforts to make a fuzzy technology commonly known and used in science and engineering. This volume appears at a time of unprecedented research interest in the field of fuzzy technology. I intentionally wrote research due to the events that have occurred during the last couple of years. To be more specific, I should describe this interest geographically.




Fuzzy Logic Applications in Computer Science and Mathematics


Book Description

FUZZY LOGIC APPLICATIONS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICSTICS The prime objective of developing this book is to provide meticulous details about the basic and advanced concepts of fuzzy logic and its all-around applications to different fields of mathematics and engineering. The basic steps of fuzzy inference systems starting from the core foundation of the fuzzy concepts are presented in this book. The fuzzy theory is a mathematical concept and, at the same time, it is applied to many versatile engineering fields and research domains related to computer science. The fuzzy system offers some knowledge about uncertainty and is also related to the theory of probability. A fuzzy logic-based model acts as the classifier for many different types of data belonging to several classes. Covered in this book are topics such as the fundamental concepts of mathematics, fuzzy logic concepts, probability and possibility theories, and evolutionary computing to some extent. The combined fields of neural network and fuzzy domain (known as the neuro-fuzzy system) are explained and elaborated. Each chapter has been produced in a very lucid manner, with grading from simple to complex to accommodate the anticipated different audiences. The application-oriented approach is the unique feature of this book. Audience This book will be read and used by a broad audience including applied mathematicians, computer scientists, and industry engineers.
