Fuzzy controllers are a class of knowledge based controllers using artificial intelligence techniques with origins in fuzzy logic. They can be found either as stand-alone control elements or as integral parts of distributed control systems including conventional controllers in a wide range of industrial process control systems and consumer products. Applications of fuzzy controllers have become a well established practice for Japanese manufacturers of control equipment and systems, and are becoming more and more common in Europe and America. The main aim of this book is to show that fuzzy control is not totally ad hoc, that there exist formal techniques for the analysis of a fuzzy controller, and that fuzzy control can be implemented even when no expert knowledge is available. Thus the book is mainly oriented toward control engineers and theorists, although parts can be read without any knowledge of control theory and may be of interest to Al people. This 2nd, revised edition incorporates suggestions from numerous reviewers and updates and reorganizes some of the material.

Unknown to the dispatcher, there is someone else listening in on the nine-one-one call, someone who has been sitting patiently waiting for something like this to happen. As the car theft victim waits for the deputy to arrive, the person listening in, and smiles to himself as he begins to type information into his computer. Almost immediately the screen comes to life with a satellite view of the entire state and begins to show thirty seven individual lights scattered across the county.

Dr. Angel Stuart is a young veterinarian with a research specialty in Zoonoses, diseases transmitted from animals to humans. Born in Russia, and adopted by a couple from Atlanta, she speaks Russian and English because her parents thought she should learn her native tongue. She loves ballet and life is great ... until she gets an interesting invitation from the President of the United States. When information about the location of an old Soviet-era bio-warfare dump full of anthrax spores is uncovered, the US and British governments want it checked for leakage or tampering. But the dump is no longer part of Russia, but in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet territory north of Afghanistan. They need an expert to investigate and find a way to secure the site before it leaks or is tampered with by Al Qaeda or the Taliban, either of which would prove disastrous to the region and possibly the world. Asked to be that expert, Angel goes to Moscow on a research grant to discover what she can and find a way to get to the burial site to check it out.

Picture this. She's from a lower socio economic family, left school at sixteen, works as clerk in a factory. He's from an affluent background, private school education, university degree, member of exclusive social clubs, home in the leafy suburbs. What's the likelihood of their having a relationship: Intimacy? - Probably not. Physical? - For sure. But would it last? Not a chance. In fact, they're courting danger. You see, she's Brown and he's White. Big problem. This is South Africa 1974, the height of apartheid. In her first memoir, Jennifer B. Graham takes an emotional journey back to her childhood in a hostile land that legally classified her as a Coloured - officially defined by the apartheid government as a person who fails to pass for white. Throughout her fragmented life, coupled with being both Non-black and Non-White, struggling to find a place to belong, she carves out her version of an ordered world. Her quest is exacerbated by the love of a man who dared to make An Immoral Proposal.
