Fuzzy and Neural Approaches in Engineering

The technologies of neural networks and fuzzy systems have undergone extensive growth in recent years. However, each field has developed independently. Each has its own nomenclature and symbology. On the surface there is little in common between the fields, yet their areas of application overlap considerably. Furthermore, there is a mutually beneficial synergistic relationship between the two technologies. This text demonstrates how these two technologies can be integrated to achieve good results. It contains numerous detailed examples, many using graphical methods, to illustrate principles involved.
