Abstract
The paradigm of fuzzy modelling entails development of relationships (dependencies) between the linguistic entities defined for system's variables. The key feature of the fuzzy models pertains to their significant flexibility so they could easily be modified to comply with the principle of incompatibility. Considering the existing panoply of fuzzy models one can easily conclude that most of them are embraced under an umbrella of a single conceptual structure. From a functional point of view this structure is perceived as a combination of the two conceptual interfaces and a single processing block aimed at developing calculus of the linguistic labels. The interfaces produce all the links that are necessary to combine the physical (numerical) level of the real-world system with that of a conceptual character realized within the fuzzy model and articulated at the level of the linguistic entities. The presentation will address the main methodological aspects concerning these functional components with a particular emphasis placed on the associated design principles. The main issues dominating the design of the interfaces pertain to the implemented level of information granularity, optimality of linguistic labels, and linguistic-to-numerical transformations. The processing level of the fuzzy modelling will be considered through the use of fuzzy neural networks. These distributed computing structures are highly heterogeneous as they are constructed with the aid of several distinct types of logic-oriented neurons. The advantages of the fuzzy neural networks such as an implicit scheme of knowledge encapsulation that is carried out there will be discussed in detail.
