C++ Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic: Preface

A Fuzzy Universe of Applications

Fuzzy logic is being applied to a wide variety of problems. The most pervasive field of influence is in control

systems, with the rapid acceptance of fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) for machine and process control. There

are a number of other areas where fuzzy logic is being applied. Here is a brief list adapted from Yan, et al.,

with examples in each area:

•

Biological and Medical Sciences Fuzzy logic based diagnosis systems, cancer research, fuzzy

logic based manipulation of prosthetic devices, fuzzy logic based analysis of movement disorders, etc.
