The unexpected and premature passing away of Professor Ebrahim H.
"Abe" Mamdani on January, 22, 2010, was a big shock to the
scientific community, to all his friends and colleagues around the
world, and to his close relatives. Professor Mamdani was a
remarkable figure in the academic world, as he contributed to so
many areas of science and technology. Of great relevance are his
latest thoughts and ideas on the study of language and its handling
by computers. The fuzzy logic community is particularly indebted to
Abe Mamdani (1941-2010) who, in 1975, in his famous paper An
Experiment in Linguistic Synthesis with a Fuzzy Logic Controller,
jointly written with his student Sedrak Assilian, introduced the
novel idea of fuzzy control. This was an elegant engineering
approach to the modeling and control of complex processes for which
mathematical models were unknown or too difficult to build, yet
they could effectively and efficiently be controlled by human
operators. This ground-breaking idea has found innumerable
applications and can be considered as one of the main factors for
the proliferation and adoption of fuzzy logic technology. Professor
Mamdani's own life and vital experience are illustrative of his
"never surrendering" attitude while facing adversaries, which is
normal for a person proposing any novel solution, and represent a
great example for everybody. His subtle sense of humor, his joy for
life, and his will to critically help people, especially young
people, were characteristics deeply appreciated by all the people
who enjoyed and benefited from his friendship and advice. This book
constitutes a posthumous homage to Abe Mamdani. It is a collection
of original papers related in some way to his works, ideas and
vision, and especially written by researchers directly acquainted
with him or with his work. The underlying goal of this book will be
fulfilled if, in the very spirit of Mamdani's legacy, the papers
will trigger a scientific or philosophical debate on the issues
covered, or contribute to a cross-fertilization of ideas in the
various fields.
