Introducing the theory of fuzzy cognitive maps in distributed systems

This paper investigates a novel hybrid fuzzy neural system, fuzzy cognitive map (FCM), and its implementation in distributed systems and control problems. The description and the methodology of this system will be examined and then it will be shown the application of FCM in a process control problem, which will reveal the characteristics and qualities of FCM. There is an oncoming need for more autonomous and intelligent systems, which could be satisfied with the application of FCM in the field of systems and control.
