Fuzzy Sets and Systems I
To deal with living human-centric systems, the fuzzy mathematician, scientist, and engineer, Lotfi A. Zadeh introduced fuzzy sets and systems, from where a wealth of theoretical developments, conceptual pursuits, algorithmic environments, and other applications have emerged.
The idea of this lecture series is to introduce the students into fuzzy design science research. Based on a fuzzy rather than two-valued worldview, this theory does not aim at precise assertions about the behavior of complex systems. Rather, it aims at an accommodation with the pervasive imprecision of real-world by abandoning the unattainable goals of classical theory and adopting instead an approach that is tolerant of imprecision and partial truths.
As a departure from current views, this lecture series presents fuzzy sets and systems as an enabling mean whose impact, contributions, and methodology stretch beyond any specific discipline, making it applicable to researchers and practitioners in business and informatics. The result is a holistic overview of fuzzy sets and systems as a fundamental component of living human-centric systems.
