At the beginning of the new millennium, fuzzy logic opens a new
challenging perspective in information processing. This perspective
emerges out of the ideas of the founder of fuzzy logic - Lotfi
Zadeh, to develop 'soft' tools for direct computing with human
perceptions. The enigmatic nature of human perceptions manifests in
their unique capacity to generalize, extract patterns and capture
both the essence and the integrity of the events and phenomena in
human life. This capacity goes together with an intrinsic
imprecision of the perception-based information. According to
Zadeh, it is because of the imprecision of the human imprecision
that they do not lend themselves to meaning representation through
the use of precise methods based on predicate logic. This is the
principal reason why existing scientific theories do not have the
capability to operate on perception-based information. We are at
the eve of the emergence of a theory with such a capability. Its
applicative effectiveness has been already demonstrated through the
industrial implementation of the soft computing - a powerful
intelligent technology centred in fuzzy logic. At the focus of the
papers included in this book is the knowledge and experience of the
researchers in relation both to the engineering applications of
soft computing and to its social and philosophical implications at
the dawn of the third millennium. The papers clearly demonstrate
that Fuzzy Logic revolutionizes general approaches for solving
applied problems and reveals deep connections between them and
their solutions.
