- # Ok! here it is...
- #
- # Author: Bradley L. Richards
- # Title: When facts get fuzzy
- # Journal: Byte, April 1988, pages 285-290.
- #
- # Bradley also wrote the Fuzzy Prolog Interpreter (in Ada)
- # It used to be available on BIX and BYTEnet
- # He also wrote a master thesis: "Programming in Fuzzy Logic: Fuzzy Prolog"
- # On his article in BYTE he indicates that a copy of his thesis was available
- # (for $30.95) from the National Technical Information Service (703) 487 4650.
- # The document to request is #ADA177940.
- #
- # If you give me your mailing address or FAX I could send you a copy of
- # the article in BYTE.
- #
- # Good Prologing...!

- A thesis being what it is, you're likely to find the BYTE article easier to
- read.
- Also, ADA being the wonderfully standardized language that it isn't, some
- people
- have reported problems compiling the Fuzzy Prolog interpreter under their Ada
- compilers (including a more recent version of the compiler I used when I wrote
- it).
-
- Hence, I'd suggest that you use the methods outlined in the BYTE article to
- implement fuzzy reasoning under whatever Prolog you normally use. The
- article
- specifically discusses Turbo Prolog, which was popular at that time, but the
- code should be easily portable to any Prolog system.

- Cheers,
