Contemporary Fuzzy Logic - Tomasiello, Stefania

Witold Pedrycz (IEEE Life Fellow) is Professor and Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Computational Intelligence in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. He is also with the Systems Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland. Dr. Pedrycz is a foreign member of the Polish Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is a recipient of several awards including Norbert Wiener award from the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society, IEEE Canada Computer Engineering Medal, a Cajastur Prize for Soft Computing from the European Centre for Soft Computing, a Killam Prize, a Fuzzy Pioneer Award from the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, and 2019 Meritorious Service Award from the IEEE Systems Man and Cybernetics Society. His main research directions involve Computational Intelligence, Granular Computing, knowledge discovery, data science, and knowledge-based neural networks among others. Dr. Pedrycz is involved in editorial activities. He is an Editor-in-Chief of Information Sciences, Editor-in-Chief of WIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (Wiley), and Co-editor-in-Chief of Int. J. of Granular Computing (Springer) and J. of Data Information and Management (Springer). Vincenzo Loia is Full professor in Computer Science and Rector of University of Salerno. Graduated in Computer Science at the University of Salerno in 1985, and received his PhD in Computer Science in 1989 at the Universit? Pierre & Marie Curie Paris VI, France. Over the years, the pillars of his scientific research have been applied in various application domains, from medicine to law, and more recently in the cyber-intelligence field. It is exactly in this latter context, that he shows his great aptitude to multidisciplinary, by coordinating the scientific committee of the Multidisciplinary Observatory for the fight against organised crime and terrorism. Moreover, his competences are used to support research related to the 4th industrial revolution, as demonstrated by his scientific responsibility and participation in national projects on smart manufacturing, and international projects on cyber physical systems. He is Editor-in-Chief and Founder of the international journal Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing, Springer- Verlag...

Sommaire:
This book offers an essential introduction to fuzzy logic, starting with the classical notions and going through more advanced notions from the current state-of-the-art research. Each of the major topics is accompanied by examples, problems and Scilab codes. As a free open source software, Scilab offers everyone the chance to practice the concepts learned through the book. The book represents a synthesis of authors' research and experience through the lectures delivered to university students. It is primarily intended as a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in computer science, mathematics, physics and engineering. It also represents a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers alike, bringing ideas for projects in the broad field of fuzzy logic.
