Similarity and Compatibility in Fuzzy Set Theory : Assessment and Applications

From the reviews:

"The present book is a monograph devoted to exploring the fuzzy approach to modeling the similarity phenomenon. ... I think the attempt to provide a link between the earlier approaches to modeling of similarity ... and the current approaches being developed in the framework of fuzzy set theory is a very fortunate one. ... the book collects important material which was needed. I believe it will become a useful source for researchers and practitioners involved in fuzzy modeling and modeling of similarity." (Radim Belohlavek, International Journal of General Systems; Methodology, Applications, Education, Vol. 32 (6), 2003)

"This book presents various types of techniques for compatibility assessment in applications of fuzzy set theory and approximate reasoning. ... The book will be useful for researchers in the fields of pattern recognition, classification and intelligent systems." (Robert Fullér, Mathematical Reviews, 2003 b)

"This book provides a pioneering review of compatibility measures in fuzzy set theory and related areas. As a result, this book is likely to be valuable for all researchers working in this area. ... By any criterion, this book can be regarded as being successful in providing a comprehensive understanding of compatibility measures that will be worthwhile for any researcher."
