COVER STORY

Fuzzy logic, a branch of Artificial Intelligence, is a processing technique which allows computers and other intelligent devices to make sense out of vague or incomplete inputs. Unlike the Boolean logic that recognizes statements as only "true," or "false," as represented in most digital computers, fuzzy logic is capable of expressing the linguistic variables such as "sort of true," "maybe false," or "ok." Fuzzy logic allows computers to more closely parallel the way humans think, identify and solve real-world problems.

Although fuzzy logic was developed more than 30 years ago, it is only recently being used in a wide variety of consumer products, ...
