Sh. Rogers et Ab. Badiru, A FUZZY SET-THEORETIC FRAMEWORK FOR KNOWLEDGE-BASED SIMULATION, Computers & industrial engineering, 25(1-4), 1993, pp. 119-122
Complex systems such as an industrial enterprise operating in a physic
al, biological, socioeconomic environment generally have many ill defi
ned or imprecisely known parameters which are typically approximated b
y exact numbers or represented with random variables. Fuzzy set theory
is a promising alternative for explicitly treating these aspects of a
system. This paper describes a fuzzy set theoretic formalism for know
ledge-based simulations. A prototype system is being implemented in Ma
thematica.
