Fuzzy Logic

The word fuzzy refers to things which are not clear or are vague. Any event, process, or function that is changing continuously cannot always be defined as either true or false, which means that we need to define such activities in a Fuzzy manner.

What is Fuzzy Logic?

Fuzzy Logic resembles the human decision-making methodology. It deals with vague and imprecise information. This is gross oversimplification of the real-world problems and based on degrees of truth rather than usual true/false or 1/0 like Boolean logic.

Take a look at the following diagram. It shows that in fuzzy systems, the values are indicated by a number in the range from 0 to 1. Here 1.0 represents absolute truth and 0.0 represents absolute falseness. The number which indicates the value in fuzzy systems is called the truth value.

Fuzzy Logic Introduction

In other words, we can say that fuzzy logic is not logic that is fuzzy, but logic that is used to describe fuzziness. There can be numerous other examples like this with the help of which we can understand the concept of fuzzy logic.

Fuzzy Logic was introduced in 1965 by Lofti A. Zadeh in his research paper “Fuzzy Sets”. He is considered as the father of Fuzzy Logic.

Standard and Formatted Input / Output in C++

The C++ standard libraries provide an extensive set of input/output capabilities which we will see in subsequent chapters. This chapter will discuss very basic and most common I/O operations required for C++ programming. C++ I/O occurs in streams, which are sequences of bytes. If bytes flow from a device like a keyboard, a disk drive, or a network connection etc. to main memory, this is called   input operation   and if bytes flow from main memory to a device like a display screen, a printer, a disk drive, or a network connection, etc., this is called   output operation . Standard Input and Output in C++ is done through the use of  streams . Streams are generic places to send or receive data. In C++, I/O is done through classes and objects defined in the header file  <iostream> .  iostream  stands for standard input-output stream. This header file contains definitions to objects like  cin ,  cout , etc. /O Library Header Files There are...

locking

DBMS Locking Part I (DBMS only) TECHNICAL ARTICLES -> PERFORMANCE ARTICLES [  Back  ] [  Next  ] DBMS is often criticized for excessive locking – resulting in poor database performance when sharing data among multiple concurrent processes. Is this criticism justified, or is DBMS being unfairly blamed for application design and implementation shortfalls? To evaluate this question, we need to understand more about DBMS locking protocols. In this article, we examine how, why, what and when DBMS locks and unlocks database resources. Future articles will address how to minimize the impact of database locking. THE NEED FOR LOCKING In an ideal concurrent environment, many processes can simultaneously access data in a DBMS database, each having the appearance that they have exclusive access to the database. In practice, this environment is closely approximated by careful use of locking protocols. Locking is necessary in a concurrent environment to as...

Difference between net platform and dot net framework...

Difference between net platform and dot net framework... .net platform supports programming languages that are .net compatible. It is the platform using which we can build and develop the applications. .net framework is the engine inside the .net platform which actually compiles and produces the executable code. .net framework contains CLR(Common Language Runtime) and FCL(Framework Class Library) using which it produces the platform independent codes. What is the .NET Framework? The Microsoft .NET Framework is a platform for building, deploying, and running Web Services and applications. It provides a highly productive, standards-based, multi-language environment for integrating existing investments with next-generation applications and services as well as the agility to solve the challenges of deployment and operation of Internet-scale applications. The .NET Framework consists of three main parts: the common language runtime, a hierarchical set of unified class librari...
