Choice Review

Ever since its inception in the 1960s, fuzzy logic has contributed to the introduction of new methodologies and more anthropomorphic approaches to solving a myriad of engineering problems. As it has matured, it has changed the way we think about and approach intelligent system engineering. This volume by Nedjah and Mourelle (both, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a tribute to several recent developments in this area. Namely, it is an overview of a recent breakthrough in the field of fuzzy systems engineering. The book is organized in two parts: "Fuzzy Theory" and "Fuzzy Systems." The chapters are well organized and self-contained, with plentiful examples. The theoretical part of the book introduces the fundamentals of fuzziness, proposes a qualitative approach to symbolic data manipulation, and offers a selection of fuzzy inference systems using artificial neural networks. The systems section focuses on fuzzy control in interception flights, monitoring systems, servo-control systems, mobile robotic systems, and chemical process reactors. Not only is this book easy to read and follow, with interesting new results, it is well-rounded reading for anyone considering investigating engineering phenomena using fuzzy tools. And a good read, too. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers. G. Trajkovski Towson University
