While classical methodology only admits precise descriptions, fuzzy logic extends to subjective and vague phenomena. It includes the use of approximate reasoning, by which we model how humans obtain information from imprecise information. A major goal is to obtain a description of human knowledge and experience in a way that can be implemented on machines.
The field has come a long way since fuzzy set theory was first propounded by Lotfi Zadeh in the mid-1960s. Within thirty years, it had developed from an abstract extension of conventional logic into a field with a whole range of practical applications. Initially, many of thesearose in the field of process control, with Japan as pioneer. In recent years however fuzzy logic has found its way into even the commonest household appliances.
Advances in Fuzzy Systems is a series of specialized books aiming to provide an up-to-date picture of developments in fuzzy logic, ranging from the strictly theoretical to the latest applications. Topics covered will include fuzzy mathematical theory, soft computing, hardware implementations, and industrial applications. Most books in this series will consist of collections of review articles by acknowledged experts in their field. Occasional research monographs, textbooks, and conference proceedings will also appear.
Book proposals for this series may be sent to any of the series editors or the publisher.
