Applied Fuzzy Systems

Fuzzy logic allows computers to work with approximate or incomplete information. Fuzzy systems theory is thus useful for engineering and modeling applications that require a flexible and realistic decision-computing model. This text is a systematic exposition of fuzzy systems theory and its major aplications in industry and business. It provides in-depth coverage of a number of practical applications in areas ranging from industrial process control to medical diagnosis and includes specific case studies. It should be of interest to software designers, consultants, mathematicians and students and researchers in artificial intelligence.
