Abstract

We have designed a multiple-valued fuzzy Approximate Analogical-Reseaning system (AARS). The system uses a similarity measure of fuzzy sets and a threshold of similarity ST to determine whether a rule should be fired, with a Modification Function inferred from the Similarity Measure to deduce a consequent. Multiple-valued basic fuzzy blocks are used to construct the system. A description of the system is presented to illustrate the operation of the schema. The results of simulations show that the system can perform about 3.5 x 106 inferences per second. Finally, we compare the system with Yamakawa's chip which is based on the Compositional Rule of Inference (CRI) with Mamdani's implication.
