Fuzzy logic is the science of reasoning, thinking and inference that recognizes and uses the real world phenomenon that everything is a matter of degree. In the simplest terms, fuzzy logic theory is an extesion of binary theory that does not crisp definitions and distinctions. Instead of assuming everything must be defined crisply into black and white, that is, varying shades of gray (binary view) fuzzy logic is a methodology that captures and uses the concept of fuzziness in a computationally effective manner. This concept was developed 40 years ago by Lotfti Zadeh. Neuro-fuzzy systems harness the power of the two paradigms: fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks.
