The design of a fuzzy system shell using a database approach

This study presented a prototype of fuzzy system shell called FuzzyAccess. Using Microsoft Access database as a developing tools, the proposed system provided a friendly interface for user self-building a fuzzy system. A novice who has no programming-knowledge can also self-define a new fuzzy project. The main contributions of the proposed system were that using SQL method to search the candidate rules in rule evaluation stage and providing an integrated tuning interface for system adjustment. The SQL method can significantly reduce the search time in rule evaluation. The integrated tuning interface can assist user quickly inspecting the influence among different system parameters adjustment and reducing the system development time.

► This study presents a prototype of fuzzy system shell called FuzzyAccess. Using Microsoft Access database as a developing tools, the proposed system provided a friendly interface for user self-building a fuzzy system. A novice who has no programming-knowledge can also self-define a new fuzzy project.
► This study provides a GA-base tuning mechanism for assisting the users to quickly and automatically adjust the fuzzy system.
► DLL methods are employed to make the fuzzy Agent. Other application system can easily embed the DLL Agent to create a Fuzzy Project.
