BERKEKEY INITIATIVE IN SOFT COMPUTING (BISC)

TO: BISC Group
FROM: L. A. Zadeh

In an earlier message to the BISC Group (31151208), I suggested that 
fuzzy logic community turn its attention to Internet-related problems 
and applications.  In this connection, you may be interested to know 
that, at this juncture, almost all major search engines employ - in 
varying degrees -- fuzzy logic.  Here are some numbers that tell the 
story.

Entry: fuzzy search engine:          Google: 138,000 results!
                                                          Excite: 9,227,840 results!

Entry: fuzzy databases:              Excite: 424,075 results!

Try using Google and Excite to set additional information.

        I have asked Dr. Masoud Nikravesh to initiate a BISC Special 
Interest group on Fuzzy Logic and the Internet. Please contact him at 
nikravesh@EECS.berkeley.edu if are interested in joining this SIG.
 

Warm regards to all,
