Abstract
Fuzzy logic is an innovative scientific field with several successful applications. Genetic algorithms and fuzzy logic systems fusion provide real-world problems modeling through the development of intelligent and adaptive systems. Moreover, the statistical analysis of the epidemiology of infectious diseases, which combines fuzzy logic aspects, is vital for perceiving their evolution and control potential. Author’s objective is initially to provide a review of the efficiency of fuzzy logic applications. The advanced implementation of fuzzy logic theory in epidemiology and the application of fuzzy logic for controlling genetic algorithms within strategies based on the human experience and knowledge known as fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are analyzed. Outcomes of this review study show that not only can fuzzy sets be efficiently implemented in epidemiology but also prove the effectiveness of fuzzy genetic algorithms applications, thus suggesting that fuzzy logic applications are a really promising field of research.
