Читать книгу Introduction to Fuzzy Logic - James K. Peckol - Страница 12

It is often all too easy to hack together a one‐off crisp logic application that appears to work. Trying to replicate a million or more copies of such a design (with elastic timing constraints, variable path impedance, or flexible data values) very quickly runs into the real‐world gremlins that are waiting for us. A solid, secure, robust, reliable design must always be based on the proven underlying theory, a thorough problem analysis, and a disciplined development approach. Such methods are growing increasingly important as we continue to push the envelope of designs that are impacting the daily lives of an ever‐increasing number of people.

This book takes a developer's perspective to first refreshing the basics of classic or crisp logic, teaching the concept of fuzzy logic, then applying such concepts to approximate reasoning systems such as threshold logic and perceptrons. This book examines, in detail, each of the important theoretical and practical aspects that one must consider when designing today's applications.

These applications must include the following:

1 The formal hardware and software development process (stressing safety, security, and reliability)

2 The digital and software architecture of the system

3 The physical world interface to external analog and digital signals

4 The debug and test throughout the development cycle and finally

5 Improving the system performance
