[sci.misc] References wanted

spe@spice.cs.cmu.edu (Sean Engelson) (07/14/87)

Keywords:



I am looking for any and all references that deal with mappings from
multisets to elements of the multiset domain. Even references which deal
with ordinary sets would be helpful.  I.e.:

We define M(S) = set of all multisets consisting of elements in S.  I am
interested in the mappings f: M(T) --> T

Are any of you mathematicians out there familiar with anything written on
this subject?

Thanks,

This is an extremely broad subject.  If the sets you are dealing with
are finite, try anything under "combinatorics".

I am looking for information about the following work:

1) XX -- A knowledge based system for hydrocarbon exploration

XX was being developed at the University of South Carolina in 1988 and I
have not heard anything more about it. Has it been completed? Is it
being used commercially? Are there any recent references about XX in the literature?


2) FUZWIN  -- A fuzzy sets based structure for representing knowledge in
classification systems

FUZWIN was developed at Polytechnic University, Brooklyn and Purdue
University, West Lafayette in the late 1980's. Are there any references
to it in the literature?



Thanks in advance for any information received.
