  • Abstract
    The user-centric query interface is very common application that allows expressing both the input and the output using fuzzy terms. This is becoming a need in the evolving internet-based era where web-based applications are very common and the number of users accessing structured databases is increasing rapidly. Restricting the user group to only experts in query coding must be avoided. The Ask Fuzzy system has been developed to address this vital issue which has social and industrial impact. It is an attractive and friendly visual user interface that facilitates expressing queries using both fuzziness and traditional methods. The fuzziness is not expressed explicitly inside the database, it is rather absorbed and effectively handled by an intermediate layer which is cleverly incorporated between the front-end visual user-interface and the back-end database.
