Publisher's Synopsis
Fuzzy Logic is nowadays a very popular logic methodology. Different kinds of applications in cybernetics, in software programming and its growing use in medicine seems to make Fuzzy Logic, the new logic of science and technology. Fuzzy logic is extremely useful for many people involved in research and development including engineers (electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical, aerospace, agricultural, biomedical, computer, environmental, geological, industrial, and mechatronics), mathematicians, computer software developers and researchers, natural scientists (biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics), medical researchers, social scientists (economics, management, political science, and psychology), public policy analysts, business analysts, and jurists. Indeed, the applications of fuzzy logic, once thought to be an obscure mathematical curiosity, can be found in many engineering and scientific works. Fuzzy logic has been used in numerous applications such as facial pattern recognition, air conditioners, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, antiskid braking systems, transmission systems, control of subway systems and unmanned helicopters, knowledge-based systems for multiobjective optimization of power systems, weather forecasting systems, models for new product pricing or project risk assessment, medical diagnosis and treatment plans, and stock trading. Fuzzy logic has been successfully used in numerous fields such as control systems engineering, image processing, power engineering, industrial automation, robotics, consumer electronics, and optimization. This branch of mathematics has instilled new life into scientific fields that have been dormant for a long time. In fuzzy logic, linguistic variables are used to represent operating parameters in order to apply a more human-like way of thinking. Fuzzy logic incorporates a simple, IF-THEN rule-based approach to solve a problem rather than attempting to model a system mathematically and this property plays a central role in most of fuzzy logic applications. Recently, the main features of fuzzy logic theory make it highly applicable in many systematic designs in order to obtain a better performance when data analysis is too complex or impractical for conventional mathematical models. Fuzzy Logic- Technologies and Applications introduces the capability of Fuzzy Logic in the development of emerging technologies. The book consists of research articles contributed by renowned experts in the field of Bioinformatics, Health, Security, Communications, Transportations, Financial Management, Energy and Environment Systems. This book is valuable resource for researchers, engineers, medical practitioners, and graduate students interested in fuzzy logic systems. This volume describes many important research advancements in real-life applications of fuzzy logic. Also, it creates awareness of real-life applications of fuzzy logic and thereby encourages others to do research and development in more real-life applications of fuzzy logic. There are numerous other applications of fuzzy logic that have to be researched and developed. Fuzzy Logic is nowadays a very popular logic methodology.
