Initially conceived as a methodology for the representation and manipulation of imprecise and vague information, fuzzy computation has found wide use in problems that fall well beyond its originally intended scope of application. Many scientists and engineers now use the paradigms of fuzzy computation to tackle problems that are either intractable or unrealistically time consuming. The extraordinary growth of fuzzy computation in recent years has led to the development of numerous systems of major practical importance in fields ranging from medical diagnosis and automated learning to image understanding and systems control.
The Handbook of Fuzzy Computation provides information about fundamental aspects of the field and explores the myriad applications of fuzzy logic techniques and methods. Divided into several parts, the handbook presents basic conceptual considerations and case studies of applications of fuzzy computation. It covers the fundamental concepts and techniques for system modeling, information processing, intelligent system design, decision analysis, statistical analysis, pattern recognition, automated learning, and system control and identification. The book also discusses the combination of fuzzy computation techniques with other computational intelligence approaches such as neural and evolutionary computation.
By focusing on the application of fuzzy computation methods to solve problems, this all-encompassing reference work enables scientists and engineers to understand the central aspects of this important computational methodology.

A comprehensive coverage of emerging and current technology dealing with heterogeneous sources of information, including data, design hints, reinforcement signals from external datasets, and related topics Covers all necessary prerequisites, and if necessary,additional explanations of more advanced topics, to make abstract concepts more tangible Includes illustrative material andwell--known experimentsto offer hands--on experience

The general scope of the book covers diverse areas of fuzzy systems, soft computing, AI tools such as uncertain computation, decision-making under imperfect information, deep learning, and others. The topics of the papers include theory and application of Soft Computing, Neuro-Fuzzy Technology, Intelligent Control, Deep Learning-Machine Learning, Fuzzy Logic in Data Analytics, Evolutionary Computing, Fuzzy logic and Artificial Intelligence in Engineering, Social Sciences, Business, Economics, Material Sciences, and others.This book presents the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Applications of Fuzzy Systems, Soft Computing, and Artificial Intelligence Tools, ICAFS-2022, held in Budva, Montenegro, on August 26-27, 2022. This is a useful guide for academics, practitioners, and graduates in fields of fuzzy logic and soft computing. It allows for increasing of interest in development and applying of these paradigms in various real-life fields.

A self-contained treatment of fuzzy systems engineering, offering conceptual fundamentals, design methodologies, development guidelines, and carefully selected illustrative material

Forty years have passed since the birth of fuzzy sets, in which time a wealth of theoretical developments, conceptual pursuits, algorithmic environments, and other applications have emerged. Now, this reader-friendly book presents an up-to-date approach to fuzzy systems engineering, covering concepts, design methodologies, and algorithms coupled with interpretation, analysis, and underlying engineering knowledge. The result is a holistic view of fuzzy sets as a fundamental component of computational intelligence and human-centric systems.

Throughout the book, the authors emphasize the direct applicability and limitations of the concepts being discussed, and historical and bibliographical notes are included in each chapter to help readers view the developments of fuzzy sets from a broader perspective. A radical departure from current books on the subject, "Fuzzy Systems Engineering" presents fuzzy sets as an enabling technology whose impact, contributions, and methodology stretch far beyond any specific discipline, making it applicable to researchers and practitioners in engineering, computer science, business, medicine, bioinformatics, and computational biology. Additionally, three appendices and classroom-ready electronic resources make it an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in engineering and science.
