Model-Based Reasoning in Science and Technology

Abduction, Logic, and Computational Discovery

Systematically presented to enhance the feasibility of fuzzy models, this book introduces the novel concept of a fuzzy network whose nodes are rule bases and their interconnections are interactions between rule bases in the form of outputs fed as inputs.
