Fuzzy Sets and Systems before the Fuzzy Boom

  • Conference paper
Advances on Computational Intelligence (IPMU 2012)

Abstract

In this paper I present some historical results on the development of the theory of fuzzy sets in its first decade. In that time before the Fuzzy Boom in control theory and other technical applications some fuzzy approaches in the areas of logic, algorithms and linguistics led to philosophical considerations on the fuzziness of meaning.
