Review
"The level of these texts makes them suitable for use on senior graduate level courses and the contributors are some of the leading researchers on the subject. . . .this four volume set is very desirable for anyone involved with fuzzy modeling control and signal processing."
--MIKE J. GRIMBLE, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, U.K.
"This valuable compendium . . . most definitely belongs in the libraries of all institutions where teaching or research on fuzzy logic and its applications is conducted."
--CHOICE, June 2000
"As the foreword notes, this valuable compendium of an extensive array of applications of fuzzy set theory emphasizes the practical applications of fuzzy logic, using fuzzy if-then rules. It most definitely belongs in the libraries of all institutions where teaching or research on fuzzy logic and its applications is conducted at any level."

Product Description
Applications of fuzzy theory (often referred to as "fuzzy logic") are maturing and multiplying at a phenomenal rate, and a comprehensive treatment of these real-world techniques and applications is now very timely. Unlike traditional computer logic involving clear true or false decisions, a fuzzy logic system chooses what is most true after "considering" several contributing and possibly conflicting variables. Examples of practical devices using fuzzy computer decision-making are thermostats that respond to a combination of temperature and humidity (comfort factors), an elevator that considers how crowded a car is rather than just its proximity to the desired floor, and a camera that integrates the variables affecting picture quality. These volumes will present a logical progression from implementation and modeling techniques to industrial/commercial applications to fuzzy neural and adaptive fuzzy systems.
