Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic that allows intermediate values between conventional assessments like true/false, yes/no, or 0/1. It is used to model imprecise concepts and has applications in control systems, image processing, decision making, and more. Fuzzy logic uses linguistic variables and IF-THEN rules to relate inputs to outputs. Membership functions assign a degree of truth between 0 and 1 to indicate how strongly an element belongs to a set. Fuzzy logic provides an effective way to deal with uncertainty and imprecision in real-world problems.

How can you deal with Fuzzy Logic. Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic; it deals with reasoning that is approximate rather than fixed and exact. In contrast with traditional logic theory, where binary sets have two-valued logic: true or false, fuzzy logic variables may have a truth value that ranges in degree
between 0 and 1

Determination of the preceptor is one of academic obligations. Undesirable things always happen in getting optimal decisions in which faculty are assigned not the most appropriate to the topic of thesis.

Logika Fuzzy merupakan suatu logika yang memiliki nilai kekaburan atau kesamaran (fuzzyness) antara benar atau salah. Dalam logika klasik dinyatakan bahwa segala hal dapat
diekspresikan dalam istilah binary (0 atau 1, hitam atau putih, ya atau tidak), sedangkan logika fuzzy memungkinkan nilai keanggotaan antara 0 dan 1, tingkat keabuan dan juga hitam dan putih, dan dalam bentuk linguistik, konsep tidak pasti seperti "sedikit", "lumayan" dan "sangat".

These slides were prepared for a talk I presented at Eindhoven University of Technology, Ghent University, and KU Leuven in June 2019. The main thesis is that project activities are distributed as per the lognormal, but various complications may mask that. To resolve these complications we may need to partition the data, account for the Parkinson effect (early completions may be hidden), and account for rounding. It is also important to note that even under similar conditions some projects are slower on average than others, thus implying that we cannot use the ubiquitous independence assumption. Instead, the simplest model we can recommend is that projects are subject to linear association. Linear Association posits that there is a random bias element representing the between-projects variation. For prediction, we must take into account both the between-projects and within-project variation. If we do all that, we can correct one of the major shortcomings of PERT, namely its reliance on the invalid beta distribution and the independence assumption.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Fuzzy logic
1. Fuzzy logic
Fuzzy logic is derived from fuzzy set theoty dealing with reasoning that is approximate rather
than precisely deduced from classical predicate logic. It can be thought as the application side
of fuzzy set theory dealing with well thought out real world expert values for a complex
problem.
Degrees of truth are often confused with probabilities. However, they are conceptually
distinct; fuzzy truth represents membership in vaguely defined sets, not likelihood of some
event or condition. To illustrate the difference, consider this scenario: Bob is in a house with
two adjacent rooms: the kitchen and the dining room. In many cases, Bob's status within the
set of things "in the kitchen" is completely plain: he's either "in the kitchen" or "not in the
kitchen". What about when Bob stands in the doorway? He may be considered "partially in
the kitchen". Quantifying this partial state yields a fuzzy set membership. With only his little
toe in the dining room, we might say Bob is 99% "in the kitchen" and 1% "in the dining
room", for instance. No event (like a coin toss) will resolve Bob to being completely "in the
kitchen" or "not in the kitchen", as long as he's standing in that doorway. Fuzzy sets are based
on vague definitions of sets, not randomness.
Fuzzy logic allows for set membership values between and including 0 and 1, shades of gray
as well as black and white, and in its linguistic form, imprecise concepts like "slightly",
"quite" and "very". Specifically, it allows partial membership in a set. It is related to fuzzy
sets and possibility theory. It was introduced in 1065 by Prof Lotfi Zadeh at the University of
California, Berkley.
Fuzzy logic is controversial in some circles, despite wide acceptance and a broad track record
of successful applications. It is rejected by some control engineers for validation and other
reasons, and by some statisticians who hold that probability is the only rigorous mathematical
description of uncertainty. Critics also argue that it cannot be a superset of ordinary set theory
since membership functions are defined in terms of conventional.
Applications
Fuzzy logic can be used to control household appliances such as washing machines (which
sense load size and detergent concentration and adjust their wash cycles accordingly) and
refrigerators.
A basic application might characterize subranges of a continuous variable. For instance, a
temperature measurement for anti-lock brakes might have several separate membership
functions defining particular temperature ranges needed to control the brakes properly. Each
function maps the same temperature value to a truth value in the 0 to 1 range. These truth
values can then be used to determine how the brakes should be controlled.
In this image, cold, warm, and hot are functions mapping a temperature scale. A point on that
scale has three "truth values" — one for each of the three functions. For the particular
temperature shown, the three truth values could be interpreted as describing the temperature
as, say, "fairly cold", "slightly warm", and "not hot".
2. A more sophisticated practical example is the use of fuzzy logic in high-performance error
correction to improve information reception over a limited-bandwidth communication link
affected by data-corrupting noise using turbo codes. The front-end of a decoder produces a
likelihood measure for the value intended by the sender (0 or 1) for each bit in the data
stream. The likelihood measures might use a scale of 256 values between extremes of
"certainly 0" and "certainly 1". Two decoders may analyse the data in parallel, arriving at
different likelihood results for the values intended by the sender. Each can then use as
additional data the other's likelihood results, and repeats the process to improve the results
until consensus is reached as to the most likely values.
Misconceptions and controversies
Fuzzy logic is the same as "imprecise logic".
Fuzzy logic is not any less precise than any other form of logic: it is an organized and
mathematical method of handling inherently imprecise concepts. The concept of "coldness"
cannot be expressed in an equation, because although temperature is a quantity, "coldness" is
not. However, people have an idea of what "cold" is, and agree that something cannot be
"cold" at N degrees but "not cold" at N+1 degrees — a concept classical logic cannot easily
handle due to the principles of bivalence.
Fuzzy logic is a new way of expressing probability.
Fuzzy logic and probability refer to different kinds of uncertainty. Fuzzy logic is specifically
designed to deal with imprecision of facts (fuzzy logic statements), while probability deals
with chances of that happening (but still considering the result to be precise). However, this is
a point of controversy. Many staticians are persuaded by the work of Bruno de Finetti that
only one kind of mathematical uncertainty is needed and thus fuzzy logic is unnecessary. On
the other hand, Bart Kosko argues that probability is a subtheory of fuzzy logic, as probability
only handles one kind of uncertainty. He also claims to have proven a theorem demonstrating
that Bayes´theorem can be derived from the concept of fuzzy subsethood. Lotfi Zadeh, the
creator of fuzzy logic, argues that fuzzy logic is different in character from probability, and is
not a replacement for it. He has created a fuzzy alternative to probability, which he calls
possibiliy theory. Other controversial approaches to uncertainty include Dempster-Shafer
theory and rough sets.
Fuzzy logic will be difficult to scale to larger problems.
In a widely circulated and highly controversial paper, Charles Elkan in 1993 commented that
"...there are few, if any, published reports of expert systems in real-world use that reason
about uncertainty using fuzzy logic. It appears that the limitations of fuzzy logic have not been
detrimental in control applications because current fuzzy controllers are far simpler than
other knowledge-based systems. In future, the technical limitations of fuzzy logic can be
expected to become important in practice, and work on fuzzy controllers will also encounter
several problems of scale already known for other knowledge-based systems". Reactions to
Elkan's paper are many and varied, from claims that he is simply mistaken, to others who
accept that he has identified important limitations of fuzzy logic that need to be addressed by
system designers. In fact, fuzzy logic wasn't largely used at that time, and today it is used to
solve very complex problems in the AI area. Probably the scalability and complexity of the
fuzzy system will depend more on its implementation than on the theory of fuzzy logic.
Examples where fuzzy logic is used
Automobile and other vehicle subsystems, such as ABS and cruise control (e.g. Tokyo
monorail)
Air conditioners
The Massive engine used in the Lord of the Rings films, which helped show huge
scale armies create random, yet orderly movements
3. Cameras
Digital image processing, such as edge detection
Rice cookers
Dishwashers
Elevartors
Washing machines and other home appliances
Video game artificial intelligence
Massage boards and chat rooms
Fuzzy logic has also been incorporated into some microcontrollers and
microprocessors, for instance Freescale 68HC12.
How fuzzy logic is applied
Fuzzy logic usually uses IF/THEN rules, or constructs that are equivalent, such as fuzzy
associattive matrices.
Rules are usually expressed in the form:
IF variable IS set THEN action
For example, an extremely simple temperature regulator that uses a fan might look like this:
IF temperature IS very cold THEN stop fan
IF temperature IS cold THEN turn down fan
IF temperature IS normal THEN maintain level
IF temperature IS hot THEN speed up fan
Notice there is no "ELSE". All of the rules are evaluated, because the temperature might be
"cold" and "normal" at the same time to differing degrees.
The AND, OR, and NOT operators of boolean logic exist in fuzzy logic, usually defined as
the minimum, maximum, and complement; when they are defined this way, they are called
the Zadeh operators, because they were first defined as such in Zadeh's original papers. So for
the fuzzy variables x and y:
NOT x = (1 - truth(x))
x AND y = minimum(truth(x), truth(y))
x OR y = maximum(truth(x), truth(y))
There are also other operators, more linguistic in nature, called hedges that can be applied.
These are generally adverbs such as "very", or "somewhat", which modify the meaning of a
set using a mathematical formula.
In application, the programming language Prolog is well geared to implementing fuzzy logic
with its facilities to setup a database of "rules" which are queried to deduct logic. This sort of
programming is known as logic programming.
Other examples
If a man is 1.8 meters, consider him as tall:
IF male IS true AND height >= 1.8 THEN is_tall IS true
IF male IS true AND height >= 1.8 THEN is_short IS false
The fuzzy rules do not make the sharp distinction between tall and short, that is not so
realistic:
IF height <= medium male THEN is_short IS agree somehow
IF height >= medium male THEN is_tall IS agree somehow
In the fuzzy case, there are no such heights like 1.83 meters, but there are fuzzy values, like
the following assignments:
dwarf male = [0, 1.3] m
small male = (1.3, 1.5]
medium male = (1.5, 1.8]
tall male = (1.8, 2.0]
4. giant male > 2.0 m
For the consequent, there are also not only two values, but five, say:
agree not = 0
agree little = 1
agree somehow = 2
agree a lot = 3
agree fully = 4
In the binary, or "crisp", case, a person of 1.79 meters of height is considered short. If another
person is 1.8 meters or 2.25 meters, these persons are considered tall.
The crisp example differs deliberately from the fuzzy one. We did not put in the antecedent
IF male >= agree somehow AND ...
as gender is often considered as a binary information. So, it is not so complex like being tall.
Formal fuzzy logic
In mathematical logic, there are several formal systems that model the above notions of
"fuzzy logic". Note that they use a different set of operations than above mentioned Zadeh
operators.
