چکیده
We define fuzzy constraint networks and prove a theorem about their relationship to fuzzy logic. Then we introduce Khayyam, a fuzzy constraint-based programming language in which any sentence in the first-order fuzzy predicate calculus is a well-formed constraint statement. Finally, using Khayyam to address an equipment selection application, we illustrate the expressive power of fuzzy constraint-based languages.

متن کاملTemporal Abstraction of States Through Fuzzy Temporal Constraint Networks
Temporal abstraction methods produce high level descriptions of a parameter evolution from collections of temporal data. As the level of abstraction of the data is increased, it becomes easier to use them in a reasoning process based on high-level explicit knowledge. Furthermore, the volume of data to be treated is reduced and, subsequently, the reasoning becomes more efficient. Besides, there ...
متن کاملSimple Stochastic Temporal Constraint Networks
Many artificial intelligence tasks (e.g., planning, situation assessment, scheduling) require reasoning about events in time. Temporal constraint networks offer an elegant and often computationally efficient framework for formulation and solution of such temporal reasoning tasks. Temporal data and knowledge available in some domains is necessarily imprecise e.g., as a result of measurement erro...
متن کاملA Methodology for the Reduction of Design Imprecision A Methodology for the Reduction of Imprecision in the Engineering Process
Engineering design is characterized by a high level of imprecision, vague parameters, and ill-defined relationships. In design, imprecision reduction must occur to arrive at a final product specification. Few design systems exist for adequately representing design imprecision, and formally reducing it to precise values. Fuzzy set theory has considerable potential for addressing the imprecision ...
