Fuzzy Modeling and Control: Theory and Applications

Much work on fuzzy control, covering research, development and applications, has been developed in Europe since the 90's. Nevertheless, the existing books in the field are compilations of articles without interconnection or logical structure or they expre

Fuzzy Modeling and Control: Theory and Applications

Atlantis Computational Intelligence Systems Volume 9

Series editors Jie Lu, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia Javier Montero, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain

Aims and scope of the series The series ‘Atlantis Computational Intelligence Systems’ aims at covering state-of-the-art research and development in all fields where computational intelligence is investigated and applied. The series seeks to publish monographs and edited volumes on foundations and new developments in the field of computational intelligence, including fundamental and applied research as well as work describing new, emerging technologies originating from computational intelligence research. Applied CI research may range from CI applications in the industry to research projects in the life sciences, including research in biology, physics, chemistry and the neurosciences. All books in this series are co-published with Springer. For more information on this series and our other book series, please visit our website at: www.atlantis-press.com/publications/books.

Foreword

Almost half a century has passed since the publication of the seminal paper by Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh. Fifty years that have witnessed an impressive growth of fuzzy systems from both the theoretical and applied points of view. Impressive growth and at the same time following an unforeseen way, since as Prof. Zadeh has said many times, his expectations when writing his first paper on fuzzy sets in 1965 were that fuzzy sets would find its main applications in the realm of humanistic systems (economics, linguistics, psychology, etc.). Now the
