Indispensable for Researchers in this Field, Jan 22 2004
This review is from: Fuzzy Theory Systems, Four-Volume Set: Techniques and Applications (Hardcover)
A hugely comprehensive summation of the entire field of fuzzy systems. Starting at the conceptual basis with a detailed exposition of the theory. You should already have the equivalent of at least two years of undergraduate courses in statistics and probability to follow the exposition.
Graduate students and researchers in the field would benefit immensely from having this series close at hand. Aside from the theory, the other virtue of the series is a huge description of the applications, from pure research to industrial contexts. The breadth shows the importance of fuzzy sets. Even if you are concerned with only one particular application, by scanning this series to see how fuzzy sets were used in other contexts, you may be able to abstract inspiration and detailed ideas that can be used in your field.
Along these lines, the series shows the prominent researchers using fuzzy sets. You can use this as a starting point into the Citation Indices to find the latest published work.
