Soft computing systems: commercial and industrial applications

Soft computing (SC) is a term originally coined by Zadeh (1994) to denote systems that exploit the tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty, and partial truth to achieve tractability, robustness, low solution cost, and better rapport with reality. Soft computing is "an association of computing methodologies that includes as its principal members fuzzy logic, neuro-computing, evolutionary computing and probabilistic computing". Although we have not reached a consensus regarding the scope of SC or the nature of this association, the emergence of this new discipline is undeniable.
