Traditionaly, fuzzy logic has been viewed in the AI community as an approach for managing uncertainty. In the 1990's, however, fuzzy logic has emerged as a paradigm for approximating a functional mapping. This complementary mordern view about the technology offers new insights about the foundation of fuzzy logic as well as new challenges regarding the identification of fuzzy models. In this pap...

in this paper, a new structure possessing the advantages of low-power consumption, less hardware and high-speed is proposed for fuzzy controller. the maximum output delay for general fuzzy logic controllers (flc) is about 86 ns corresponding to 11.63 mflips (fuzzy logic inference per second) while this amount of the delay in the designed fuzzy controller becomes 52ns that corresponds to 19.23 m...

This paper presents a comparative study between various control strategies. The design of different controllers, the sliding mode controller, the self tuning fuzzy logic controller, the fuzzy logic controller and the classical PI controller are proposed. The simulations results showed the performances and limits of the different cited controllers. In fact, the sliding mode controller is charact...

This article explores the use of fuzzy logic in the medical field. While giving a comparison of classic and fuzzy logic we present the various uses of the applications made possible by fuzzy logic, focusing on diagnosis and treatment. The ever evolving technology making the line between medicine and technology thinner every year, is helping to make the treatment of disease and the mending of in...

This paper describes a haptic guidance system developed to assist in model-based training of minimally invasive, laparoscopic procedures. The key factor motivating the development of the device called CAST (ComputerAssisted Surgical Trainer) is the need to advance the stateof-the-art in teaching laparoscopy, and ultimately to improve surgical outcomes. In the paper, CAST’s exchangeable task sce...

The theme of this Special Issue is on Analytical Theory of Fuzzy Control with Applications. The theoretical development covered in this issue is focused on mathematical analysis and rigorous design methods for fuzzy control systems. Introduced in 1974, fuzzy control, as an emerging technology targeting industrial applications, has added a promising dimension to the existing domain of convention...

The medical arti®cial intelligence community congratulates you on your 80th birthday on 4 February 2001. On behalf of all patients and non-patients who are, or will in the future be, enjoying the medical fruits of your work, we would like to thank you for initiating and advancing The Fuzzy Revolution in science, technology, and society. Medicine has been among the privileged areas to early reco...

Fuzzy set theory has entered into a large variety of disciplines of sciences,technology and humanities having established itself as an extremely versatileinterdisciplinary research area. Accordingly different notions of fuzzystructure have been developed such as fuzzy normed linear space, fuzzytopological vector space, fuzzy sequence space etc. While reviewing theliterature in fuzzy sequence sp...
