VHDL and fuzzy logic if-then rules

The authors explore the feasibility of using VHSIC hardware description language (VHDL) to model systems utilizing fuzzy logic. Emphasis is placed on the representation and analysis of the behavior of collections of interacting objects, each of which is characterized by fuzzy if-then rules. The feasibility and desirability of using VHDL to model such systems is examined, and an example is used to test the ideas developed. A discussion of the importance and future trends in modeling fuzzy logic using hardware description languages (HDLs), and VHDL in particular, is provided
