Abstract
Abstract We briefly describe the situation of the fuzzy community in Europe before the fuzzy wave. We show that there was a lot of expertise in almost all subareas of fuzzy logic. Then we describe some aspects of the fuzzy wave itself, in particular fuzzy control and first generation fuzzy systems that played a role during the time the fuzzy wave reached Europe. We also make some remarks about European companies and their activities during this time. Then we discuss the situation after the fuzzy wave, some aspects of second generation fuzzy systems, the combination of fuzzy logic with other theories and techniques, and some new application areas. Finally, we will discuss the chances of fuzzy systems in Europe in the future.
