A development supporting system for fuzzy inference device and the scheme by which this system operates

摘要

The invention involves a fuzzy inference development system which prepares, automatically, an inference engine module file and a knowledge (i.e., rules and membership functions) data file which are optimized for the system (the CPU or equivalent) which the user intends to use and for the knowledge established by the user. The user inputs the required specifications and knowledge data via a user interface. The characteristic parameters (number of rules, number of types of input and output variables, etc.) are extracted from the knowledge data. A number of inference engine modules are stored, prior to the use of the device, in an inference engine library. The inference engine module, which is both optimal for the required specifications which have been input and for the parameters which have been extracted, is selected from the modules in the library by means of a fuzzy inference performed in an inference engine selection unit. When the selected module has been compiled by compilers, it is outputted to the user.
