This book presents new approaches to the construction of fuzzy models for model-based control. The main methods and techniques are illustrated through simulated examples and real-world applications from chemical and process engineering. Supporting MATLAB and Simulink files--available at www.fmt.vein.hu/softcomp--create a computational platform for exploration and illustration of concepts and algorithms presented in the book. Aimed at researchers, practitioners, and professionals in process control and identification, but also accessible to grad students in electrical, chemical, and process engineering.
