Abstract

In order for Fuzzy Systems to continue to flourish in all scientific research areas, not only engineering, a more efficient and effective way of transmitting the relevant knowledge and skills of this discipline is necessary. Conventional tutorials in this area follow a fixed outline starting from the basic principles (set operations, relations, etc) and ending with current applications such as pattern recognition, information classification and system control. We argue that an iterative and concurrent top-down/down-top approach to learning would be more effective, and suggest that a plan to discover concepts first and map them afterwards is viable. Several recent publications and a case study currently under development in the field of medicine are used as examples to show evidence for the future of this new approach.
