The “Fuzzy Explosion” emanating from Japan has compelled more people than ever to ponder the meaning and potential of fuzzy engineering. Scientists all over are now beginning to harness the power of fuzzy recognition and decision-making — reminescent of the way the human mind works — in computer applications.In this book a blue-ribbon list of contributors discusses the latest developments in topics such as possibility logic programming, truth-valued flow inference, fuzzy neural-logic networks and default knowledge representation. This volume is the first in a series aiming to document advances in fuzzy set theory and its applications.

"Between Mind and Computers presents a wealth of information about fuzzy logic and its applications. In my view, it is a must-read for everyone who is interested in developing a thorough understanding of the theory and an up-to-date familiarity with its applications."
