Advanced Fuzzy Logic Technologies in Industrial Applications
. Ed(S): Bai, Ying; Zhuang, H.; Wang, Dali
Hardback. The ability of fuzzy systems to provide shades of gray between 'on or off' and 'yes or no' is ideally suited for industrial control systems. The static fuzzy systems usually discussed in this context fail to take account of inputs outside a pre-set range and their off-line nature makes tuning complicated. This book addresses this problem.
