Since the 1980s this mathematical theory of \"unsharp amounts\" has been applied in many different fields with great success. The word \"fuzzy\" has also become very well-known among non-scientists thanks to extensive advertising campaigns for fuzzy-controlled household appliances and to their prominent presence in the media, first in Japan and then in other countries. On the other hand, the story of how Fuzzy Set Theory and its earliest applications originated remains largely unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book, the history of Fuzzy Set Theory and the ways it was first used are incorporated into the history of 20th century science and technology. Influences from philosophy, system theory and cybernetics stemming from the earliest part of the 20th century are considered alongside those of communication and control theory from mid-century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eToday, Fuzzy Set Theory is the core discipline of \"soft computing,\" and provides new impetus for research in the field of Artificial Intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Seising\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3540717943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783540717942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.43h x 6.51w x 0.82d","brand":"Rudolf Seising","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579926757631,"sku":"9783540717942","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5b49e6a-877f-4f62-adfa-7b73de434015.jpg?v=1763877623","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fuzzification-of-systems-rudolf-seising-9783540717942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
