“…Most of the object-oriented paradigm is successfully translated in terms of relational constructs, tailoring fuzzy reasoning style to be well suited to the framework of the databases. Such a criterion is adopted to easily provide a persistent store of objects when needed, by exploiting most facilities already developed in 1U3 ' 14 . it turns out to be useful in preserving its conceptual simplicity as well, since simple-to-use is one of the important criteria in designing databases.…”

This paper provide a formal fuzzy object inference model to solve the following four significant drawbacks identified in extant fuzzy rule-based languages. First, they have difficulty in handling composite objects as a unit of inference. Second, they don't support fuzzy reasoning which is semantically easy to understand and conceptually simple to use. Third, their knowledge representation and reasoning style have a great semantic gap with those of current database models in syntax and semantics. Finally, they do not provide a comprehensive framework in treating uncertainties. In this paper, we demonstrate that the proposed model naturally models a target application environment in terms of composite objects possibly containing uncertain information, and successfully performs a fuzzy inference between them. To practically model the environment, we use the constructs of ICOT (Integrated C-Object Tool) extended for well implementing the structural semantics of the proposed model.

In this paper, an Integrated C-Object Tool, namely ICOT, is proposed for knowledge-based programming. A major drawback of current rule-based expert system languages is that they have difficulty in handling composite objects as a unit of inference. An object-oriented model is a powerful alternative to complement the drawback. Each of these alone cannot capture all the semantics of knowledge, particularly in complex engineering domains. For a knowledge-based approach to be effective, both the object-oriented paradigm and the rule-based mechanism may need to be integrated into one framework. The framework may also need to support manipulation of fuzzy knowledge to model the real world as close as possible. Three types of fuzzy information are identified, and a proper way of representing and inferencing them is developed. ICOT provides a new framework into which rule-based deduction, object-oriented modeling, and fuzzy inferencing are combined altogether. This can become especially useful for developing knowledge-based engineering applications.
