This book makes use of the LISP programming language to provide
readers with the necessary background to understand and use fuzzy
logic to solve simple to medium-complexity real-world problems. It
introduces the basics of LISP required to use a Fuzzy LISP
programming toolbox, which was specifically implemented by the
author to "teach" the theory behind fuzzy logic and at the same
time equip readers to use their newly-acquired knowledge to build
fuzzy models of increasing complexity. The book fills an important
gap in the literature, providing readers with a practice-oriented
reference guide to fuzzy logic that offers more complexity than
popular books yet is more accessible than other mathematical
treatises on the topic. As such, students in first-year university
courses with a basic tertiary mathematical background and no
previous experience with programming should be able to easily
follow the content. The book is intended for students and
professionals in the fields of computer science and engineering, as
well as disciplines including astronomy, biology, medicine and
earth sciences. Software developers may also benefit from this
book, which is intended as both an introductory textbook and
self-study reference guide to fuzzy logic and its applications. The
complete set of functions that make up the Fuzzy LISP programming
toolbox can be downloaded from a companion book's website.

This book, which goes far beyond a traditional collection of
technical articles, is dedicated to Enric Trillas, a fuzzy systems
pioneer but also an internationally renowned researcher in other
areas of science, such as mathematics and aerospace, and an
outstanding manager of scientific affairs in Spain. Some of the
contributions in this book develop technical, state-of-the-art
themes obviously related to fuzzy logic, while others resemble
popular-science articles that shed light on complex mathematical
concepts. There are also chapters that highlight the authors'
personal relationships and experiences working with Enric Trillas.
While planning this book project, the editors decided to give
contributors absolute freedom of thought and expression in
preparing their chapters. The result is a colorful and inspiring
mixture of styles and topics, which perfectly reflects Enric
Trillas's multifaceted contributions to research and his
outstanding role in promoting education and technological transfer
in the field of soft computing. This Festschrift to Enric Trillas,
published on the occasion of his 75th birthday, is not only
intended as an exemplary source of information for young scientists
dealing with uncertainty, imprecision and accuracy of models, but
also as an inspiring guide to the role of scientists in education,
politics and communication.
