nonlinear controllers. Fuzzy controllers work differently than conventionalcontrollers; expert knowledge is used instead of differential equations to describe a system.This knowledge can be expressed in a very natural way using linguistic variables, which aredescribed by fuzzy sets. Fuzzy Logic has been used primarily on large-scale computingsystems and personal computers. The technology involved in intelligent and fuzzy systems isof such a fundamental nature that in 21 century it will be standard knowledge for all engineersand scientists. Overall, in comparing fuzzy to conventional control, it is interesting to note thatthere are conventional control schemes that are analogous to fuzzy ones:1. Direct fuzzy control is analogous to direct nonlinear

Therefore, a second objective is to explore the use Bayesian statistics toanswer the first objective and, if seeming effective, providing the field a Bayesian framework forsuch

Without commonly heldphilosophy and belief systems, society must use various governmental problem solvingmechanisms for consensus development. Values are not necessarily right or wrong.Achieving a consensus requires identifying and balancing values of the group. The growing environmental and societal concern about engineered productscreates a compelling need to consider these factors in the design phase.
