Publisher Description

In Part I, the impact of an integro-differential operator on parity logic engines (PLEs) as a tool for scientific modeling from scratch is presented. Part II outlines the fuzzy structural modeling approach for building new linear and nonlinear dynamical causal forecasting systems in terms of fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs). Part III introduces the new type of autogenetic algorithms (AGAs) to the field of evolutionary computing. Altogether, these PLEs, FCMs, and AGAs may serve as conceptual and computational power tools.

Notes

The first book that presents the history of FCMs, methods of constructing or deriving FCMs, and illustrations of applications of FCMs, in a systematic overview

Back Cover

Three transdisciplinary mainstreams of crisp and soft computing are presented in this book. (1) An entirely new approach to scientific modeling from scratch as based on parity logic with new operators for binary computing and the new framework of Langlet transforms. (2) A compact overview of the foundations of fuzzy logic, and a comprehensive treatment of fuzzy nonlinear dynamical predictor systems in terms of fuzzy cognitive maps. Readers interested in new ways of causal modeling and nonlinear forecasting are introduced to fuzzy knowledge engineering as a paradigm shift in intelligent computing. (3) New perspectives for evolutionary computing with an integro-differential operator from parity logic, and a systematic elaboration of autogenetic algorithms for search in high dimensional feature spaces. Readers interested in fast computing, practical applications of causal reasoning with fuzzy logic, and interactive experimental control environments as based on evolutionary computing, will gain significant insights into a variety of computational power tools.
