Abstract :
An orderly design procedure that can save time and help prevent problems in the development of fuzzy logic systems is presented. The nature of fuzzy logic is examined, and the design of fuzzy control systems is discussed. The architecture of a simple fuzzy controller for a steam turbine is used as an example, to show how fuzzy control models work. A four-step methodology for fuzzy system design is described.<>
