Advances in Fuzzy Systems — Applications and Theory - Vol. 7

GENETIC ALGORITHMS AND FUZZY LOGIC SYSTEMS
Soft Computing Perspectives

edited by Elie Sanchez (Université de la Méditerrannée, Aix-Marseille II, France), Takanori Shibata (MIT, USA & Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, MITI, Japan) & Lotfi A Zadeh (BISC, University of California, Berkeley, USA)

Ever since fuzzy logic was introduced by Lotfi Zadeh in the mid-sixties and genetic algorithms by John Holland in the early seventies, these two fields widely been subjects of academic research the world over. During the last few years, they have been experiencing extremely rapid growth in the industrial world, where they have been shown to be very effective in solving real-world problems. These two substantial fields, together with neurocomputing techniques, are recognized as major parts of soft computing: a set of computing technologies already riding the waves of the next century to produce the human-centered intelligent systems of tomorrow; the collection of papers presented in this book shows the way. The book also contains an extensive bibliography on fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms.

"This volume displays the power of evolutionary algorithms when combined with fuzzy logic. These are exciting times in the fields of fuzzy logic and evolutionary algorithms, and this book will add to the excitement, because it is the first volume to focus on the growing connections between the fields of evolutionary algorithms and fuzzy logic ... This book will be a valuable aid to anyone considering the application of fuzzy logic and evolutionary algorithms to real problems, because it contains a number of detailed accounts of such applications written by authors in several countries. By making these accounts available in one place, the editors of this book have made it much easier for us to benefit from the authors' experience, and have done us a great service."
