Fuzzy Techniques: Theory and Applications

This book describes the latest findings related to fuzzy techniques, discussing applications in control, economics, education, humor studies, industrial engineering, linguistics, management, marketing, medicine and public health, military engineering, robotics, ship design, sports, transportation, and many other areas. It also presents recent fuzzy-related algorithms and theoretical results that can be used in other application areas. Featuring selected papers from the Joint World Congress of the International Fuzzy Systems Association (IFSA) and the Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS) IFSA-NAFIPS'2019, held in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA, on June 1821, 2019, the book is of interest to practitioners wanting to use fuzzy techniques to process imprecise expert knowledge. It is also a valuable resource for researchers wishing to extend the ideas from these papers to new application areas, for graduate students and for anyone else interested in problems involving fuzziness and uncertainty.

Includes papers from the 2019 World Congress of the International Fuzzy Systems Association IFSA/NAFIPS'2019, which was held jointly with the Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA, on June 1821, 2019 Covers many interesting and important theoretical issues related to fuzzy techniques, as well as numerous exciting and successful applications of fuzzy methodology Features a special section devoted to papers from the affiliated 12th International Workshop on Constraint Programming and Decision Making CoProd'2019 (Lafayette, Louisiana, June 17, 2019)
