Fuzzy Logic and Soft Computing contains contributions from
world-leading experts from both the academic and industrial communities.
The first part of the volume consists of invited papers by international
authors describing possibilistic logic in decision analysis, fuzzy
dynamic programming in optimization, linguistic modifiers for word
computation, and theoretical treatments and applications of fuzzy
reasoning. The second part is composed of eleven contributions from
Chinese authors focusing on some of the key issues in the fields: stable
adaptive fuzzy control systems, partial evaluations and fuzzy reasoning,
fuzzy wavelet neural networks, analysis and applications of genetic
algorithms, partial repeatability, rough set reduction for data
enriching, limits of agents in process calculus, medium logic and its
evolution, and factor spaces canes.
These contributions are not only theoretically sound and
well-formulated, but are also coupled with applicability implications
and/or implementation treatments. The domains of applications realized
or implied are: decision analysis, word computation, databases and
knowledge discovery, power systems, control systems, and
multi-destinational routing. Furthermore, the articles contain materials
that are an outgrowth of recently conducted research, addressing
fundamental and important issues of fuzzy logic and soft computing.
