Obtaining solutions in fuzzy constraint networks
We propose three methods for obtaining solutions in fuzzy constraint networks and study their application to the problem of ordering fuzzy numbers. The techniques proposed may be classified as defuzzification functions which are applicable to any set of mutually dependent fuzzy numbers in which the dependence relationships are represented by means of metric constraints. We suggest the use of th...
متن کاملLexical Imprecision in Fuzzy Constraint Networks
We define fuzzy constraint networks and prove a theorem about their relationship to fuzzy logic. Then we introduce Khayyam, a fuzzy constraint-based programming language in which any sentence in the first-order fuzzy predicate calculus is a well-formed constraint statement. Finally, using Khayyam to address an equipment selection application, we illustrate the expressive power of fuzzy constrai...
متن کاملPreserving Partial Solutions While Relaxing Constraint Networks
This paper is about transforming constraint networks to accommodate additional constraints in specific ways. The focus is on two intertwined issues. First, we investigate how partial solutions to an initial network can be preserved from the potential impact of additional constraints. Second, we study how more permissive constraints, which are intended to enlarge the set of solutions, can be acc...
متن کاملFuzzy Constraint Networks for Process Control
One of the critisisms of rule-based fuzzy controllers has been their use of only shallow knowledge bases. This shallowness is primarily attributable to the expressiveness of rule-based systems, which is that of the Horn clause subset of rst-order predicate calculus (FOPC). We would argue that the language in which declarative knowledge is represented must be at least as expressive as the full F...
متن کاملFuzzy Temporal Constraint Networks for Clinical Information
Modeling the temporal information in the medical record is an important area of research. This paper describes an extension of TimeText, a temporal reasoning system designed to represent, extract, and reason about temporal information in clinical text, to include the use of fuzzy temporal constraints. The addition of fuzzy temporal constraints increases TimeTexts ability to handle uncertainty i...
