Looking into the Future

This chapter focuses on where we feel T2 FL control should be heading. The authors of each section are identified and have an opportunity to express their viewpoints on where they feel T2 FL control should be heading. The book presents the foundations of IT2 FL control and provides several methodologies for modeling and control that utilize this advanced approach. The emphasis is on the simplest kind of T2 FL control, namely IT2 FL control that uses singleton fuzzification. Mamdani IT2 FLCs as discussed throughout most of this book are based on IT2 FSs. The book demonstrates that IT2 FL control is a diverse field of rich promise; however, a central challenge is to increase the number of applications and users in order to bring IT2 FL control into the mainstream of automation and control.
