<P> <B> </B> Highlights motivations and benefits of employing fuzzy logic in control engineering and information systems. <B> </B> Providing equal emphasis on theoretical foundations and practical issues, this book features fuzzy logic concepts and techniques in intelligent systems, control, and information technology. Uses Fuzzy Logic Toolbox for MATLAB™ to demonstrate exemplar applications and to develop hands-on exercises. <B> </B> Introduces the connection between fuzzy logic and related ideas, methods, and theories developed in other disciplines (e.g., artificial intelligence, probability theory, control, model identification, etc.). </P>
