Advances in fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic algorithms

This book presents 14 rigorously reviewed revised papers selected from more than 50 submissions for the 1994 IEEE/ Nagoya-University World Wisepersons Workshop, WWW'94, held in August 1994 in Nagoya, Japan. The combination of approaches based on fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic algorithms are expected to open a new paradigm of machine learning for the realization of human-like information processing systems. The first six papers in this volume are devoted to the combination of fuzzy logic and neural networks; four papers are on how to combine fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms. Four papers investigate challenging applications of fuzzy systems and of fuzzy-genetic algorithms.
