This paper gives a better optimization algorithm for the fuzzy controller and it is verified. Theory developed by L. A. Zadeh‚ is a practical alternative for a variety of challenging control applications since it provides a simple and convenient method for constructing nonlinear controllers using heuristic information. Fuzzy control provides a user-friendly formalism for representing

Question b Introduction The notion of `knowledge level ’ was introduced by Allen Newell more than a decade ago . Ever since it has provided a common perspective for researchers in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and in knowledge systems in particular. Its impact has been tremendous. Newell managed to make explicit what had become common practice in AI‚ namely talking about intelligent systems in a language of `knowing ’ and `wanting ’. Moreover‚ he gave this language a role in systems engineering
