Fuzzy logic is `a recent revolutionary technology' which has brought
together researchers from mathematics, engineering, computer science,
cognitive and behavioral sciences, etc. The work in fuzzy technology at
the Laboratory for International Fuzzy Engineering (LIFE) has been
specifically applied to engineering problems. This book reflects the
results of the work that has been undertaken at LIFE with chapters
treating the following topical areas: Decision Support Systems,
Intelligent Plant Operations Support, Fuzzy Modeling and Process
Control, System Design, Image Understanding, Behavior Decisions for
Mobile Robots, the Fuzzy Computer, and Fuzzy Neuro Systems. The book is
a thorough analysis of research which has been implemented in the areas
of fuzzy engineering technology. The analysis can be used to improve
these specific applications or, perhaps more importantly, to investigate
more sophisticated fuzzy control applications.
