[comp.dsp] Fuzzy logic references?

jamesv@hplsla.HP.COM (James Vasil) (03/08/91)

The March 1, 1991 issue of "Computer Design" magazine had a very
enjoyable (to me, anyway ;-) article on fuzzy logic, titled "Fuzzy
logic simplifies complex control problems."  This article got me
interested in the subject and I wanted to persue it further.

Unfortunately the article, after getting me all interested in the
topic, didn't really offer much in the way of "where to go for more
information."  If anyone can recommend any books or articles that
they have found to be especially useful and/or understandable, I'd
appreciate it if you'd post (or e-mail) the titles.

If you happen to know of any "public domain" development or learning
software (preferably for a PC), I'd be real interested in hearing 
about that also.

Thanks in advance,
James Vasil

The November, 1990 IEEE Spectrum has another short bit on fuzzy logic and
gives the names of a couple of companies involved in fuzzy semiconductors/
software/consulting.
