[comp.ai] Sources for fuzzy logic

psycho@banana.ucsb.edu (Scot Kellan Forbes) (01/22/91)

I'm sure this is a subject that has received attention many times so
e-mail responses are probably the best way to go here:

I'm looking for some good introductory-level sources to fuzzy logic.
Specifically, those that gives a good description of concepts and
applications.  I'm afraid I don't know what else to ask for as this
posting is actually for my boss.

He has a book that he describes as all multi-variable calculus and
with nothing on application, and right now he wants to know more
about where he can use it rather than how to implement it.

Traditionally, our products have implemented Eproms programmed in
Forth.  I'm sure any info on how well fuzzy logic lends itself to
this type of implementation would be most helpful, considering
the dedicated chips optimized for "fuzzy instructions" are beyond
affordability.

I'll likely be posting more specific requests in the future, but
for now, any information on books that provide a general overview
on how fuzzy logic is used (with possibly some high-level
algorithms), and where these books are available, would be
greatly appreciated!

thanx in advance!
