Electronic Hardware for Fuzzy Computation

Abstract

Electronic hardware development for fuzzy inference-based computing systems (fuzzy hardware) has been an active research area almost since the first papers on successful fuzzy logic applications, mainly fuzzy controllers, were published in the early eighties. Although historically, due to the greater flexibility and compatibility, as well as the advantages and easiness of using high level languages, the majority of fuzzy inference system (FIS) implementations have been software developments to be run on general purpose processors (GPP), only concurrent computation architectures with specific processing units AbsTRACT
