A simple example of the use of FAMe involving fuzzy logic is given.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":222263,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"4659 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125816306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This produces a graphical analysis tool, similar to the algebraic phase plane approach, for considering overall system performance. Using this technique the response of a rule-based system can be investigated and the influence of individual rules on overall performance can be determined, allowing a stability analysis to be carried out directly on the rule-based system. Two simple application examples show how this technique could be used. In particular, a controller design example demonstrates how trial and error methods can be removed from the controller design process and how stability analysis can be performed directly on the rule-based system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":222263,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115953921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
