Description

Complex systems such as an industrial enterprise operating in a physical, biological, socioeconomic environment generally have many ill defined or imprecisely known parameters which are typically approximated by exact numbers or represented with random variables. Fuzzy set theory is a promising alternative for explicitly treating these aspects of a system. This paper describes a fuzzy set theoretic formalism for knowledge-based simulations. A prototype system is being implemented in Mathematica.
