An approximate reasoning system: Design and implementation

In recent years, many papers discussing the problems of approximate reasoning based on fuzzy logic appeared, but only a few were involved in practical implementation. In this paper, an approximate reasoning system (ARS) is described. Some problems, such as memory conflict resolution in the implementing process, are detailed. Approaches for improving the inference speed of approximate reasoning are also discussed. KEYWO RD S: Fuzzy logic, fuzzy sets, approximate reasoning, inference, expert system
