An XML vocabulary for soft computing

This paper presents iXSCL, an XML based language for the specification of objects in the Soft Computing area. iXSCL adopts a compositional approach in which objects are constructed by combining other objects. It is implementation independent; syntax and semantics are formally defined to state the expected behavior of any implementation. The EDAB (which stands for Hardware/Software Environment for the Design and Development of High Performance Applications of Fuzzy Logic) project is also introduced as an application of the language.
