XFL3: A new fuzzy system specification language

Abstract

This paper presents the main features of XFL3, a new language for fuzzy system specification, which has been defined as the starting point for the 3.0 version of our fuzzy system design environment, Xfuzzy [1]. Its main advantages with respect to its precursor, XFL [2], are its capability to admit user-defined membership functions, parametric operators, and linguistic hedges. Taking this language as the basis, different fuzzy system development tools are being implementing, which are also summarized briefly.

The assigned unc ions a e de ined in ex e nal

i y a unc ion is “package. unc ion”. The package
name (x l in Figu e 1) could be emo ed i he pack-
age has been impo ed p e iously (using he com-
mand “impo package;”).
2.2 Types o linguis ic a iables
An XFL3 ype is an objec which desc ibes a ype o
linguis ic a iable. This means o de ine i s uni e se
o discou se, o name he linguis ic labels co e ing
ha uni e se,and ospeci y hemembe ship unc ion

whe e min and max a e he limi s o he uni e se o
discou se and ca d (ca dinali y) is he numbe o i s
disc e e elemen s. I ca dinali y is no speci ied, i s
de aul alue (cu en ly, 256) is assumed. When lim-
i s a e no explici ly de ined, he uni e se o dis-
cou se is aken om 0 o 1.
The o ma o he linguis ic label iden i ie is sim-
ila o he ope a o iden i ie , ha is, “package. unc-
ion” o simply “ unc ion” i he package whe e he

XFL3 suppo s inhe i ance mechanisms in he
ype de ini ions (like i s p ecu so , XFL). To exp ess
inhe i ance, he heading o hede ini ion is as ollows

2.3 Rule bases
A ule base in XFL3 is an objec con aining he ules
which de ine he logic ela ionships among he lin-

(Figu e 3):

A ule an eceden desc ibes he ela ionships

ions wi h connec i es o linguis ic hedges (Table 2
and Figu e 4). On he o he side, each ule conse-
quen desc ibes he assigna ion o a linguis ic a i-
able o an ou pu a iable as “ a iable = label”
(Figu e 3).
2.4 Sys em global beha io
The desc ip ion o he sys em global beha io means
o de ine he global inpu and ou pu a iables o he

sc ip ion in XFL3 is as ollows (Figu e 5):

ule_base_iden i ie (inpu s : ou pu s);
............. }
The de ini ion o ma o he global inpu and ou -
pu a iables is he same o ma employed in he de -
ini ion o he ule bases. The inne a iables which
may appea es ablish se ial o pa allel in e connec-
ions among he ule bases. Inne a iables mus i s -

ollows:

The blocks ha de ine a unc ion include i s name

ga ding de uzzi ica ion me hods, some o hem can

The use o packages allows he designe o de ine

4 Example o an XFL speci ica ion
One o he main ea u es o XFL3 is he inclusion o
linguis ic hedges and hie a chical s uc u es on he

sense, linguis ic hedges can be used o dec ease he

As an example o complex sys em modelling, we
