Fuzzy Logic History and Applications
When Aristotle and his predecessors devised their theories of logic and
mathematics, they came up with the so-called Law of the Excluded Middle, which
states that every proposition must be either true or false. Grass is either green or not
green; it clearly cannot be both green and not green. However, not everyone agreed,
and Plato indicated there was a third region, beyond true and false, where these
opposites "tumbled about."
In the Aristotelian worldview, logic dealt with two values. In the 19th century, George
Boole created a system of algebra and set theory that could deal mathematically with
such two-valued logic, mapping true and false to 1 and 0, respectively. Then in the
early 20th century, Jan Lukasiewicz proposed a three-valued logic (true, possible,
false), which never gained wide acceptance.
In 1965, Lotfi A. Zadeh of the University of California at Berkeley published "Fuzzy

Sets," which laid out the mathematics of fuzzy set theory and, by extension, fuzzy
logic. Zadeh had observed that conventional computer logic could not manipulate
data that represented subjective or vague ideas, so he created fuzzy logic to allow
computers to determine the distinctions among data with shades of gray, similar to
the process of human reasoning.
Although, the technology was introduced in the U.S. and European scientist and
researchers largely ignored it for years, perhaps because of its unconventional
name. They refused to take seriously something that sounded so childlike. Some
mathematicians argued that fuzzy logic was merely probability in disguise. However,
fuzzy logic was readily accepted in Japan, China and other Asian countries. The
greatest number of fuzzy researchers today are found in China, with over 10,000
scientists. Japan, though considered at the leading edge of fuzzy studies, has fewer
people engaged in fuzzy research. A decade ago, the Chinese University of Hong
Kong surveyed consumer products using fuzzy logic, producing a 100-plus-page
report listing washing machines, camcorders, microwave ovens and dozens of other
kinds of electrical and electronic products.
