  • Abstract
    This paper describes an algorithm for building fuzzy hierarchies. These are hierarchies where the elements can have fuzzy membership to the nodes. The paper presents an approach that mainly follows a bottom-up strategy, and describes the functions needed to operate with fuzzy variables. An example of the application of the approach is also presented
