Advances in Fuzzy Mathematics and Engineering is a new
international series dedicated to the support and development of
the theory of fuzzy mathematics and related areas and their
industrial applications in general and in engineering in particular.
The series is supported and published by Beijing Normal
University Press, Beijing ,China.
This book . Fuzzy Sets and Fuzzy In fr3rmation-€~runtc~utr'~m
Theory, is the third volume of Collected Papers by Lotfi A.
Zadeh. The first volume, entitled Fuzzy Sets and Applications,
was published in 1987 by John Wiley. Its editors, Ronald R.
Yager, Sergei Ovchinnikav, Richard M. Tong, and Hung T.
Ngugen undertook the project on the occasion of the 20th
anniversary of the publication of the first paper on fuzzy set by
Lotfi A+ Zadeh. The second volume , entitled Fuzzy Sets, Fuzzy
Logic, and Fuzzy Systems + was published in 1996 by World
Scientific, Its editors, George J. Klir and h Yuan selected, from
among all papers by Lotfi Zadeh not included in the first volume.
those papers on fuzzy sets,fuzzy logic,and fuzzy systems whose
easy accessibility would likely be of benefit to those working in
these areas. The previous two volumes in English have proved to
be great utility to anyone interested in fuzzy set theory and its
applications*
