Abstract

A weighted fuzzy logic is presented in which the truth of a conjunction of propositions (or predicates) is a weighted sum of the truth of each proposition (or predicate). This is different from traditional logic where a conjunction would be false if only one component of the conjunction is false. The proposed logic is quite suitable for reasoning with incomplete knowledge and fuzzy retrieval or fuzzy matching. It is expected to have a very wide range of applications in knowledge engineering and many other areas. Expert systems in medical diagnosis and computer-aided design are considered as applications.>
