Does anyone reading this understand "Fuzzy set theory"/"Fuzzy logic"
and its applicability to automated reasoning?
In particular, I'm interested in how one might verify empirically
(or experimentally, as with probability theory) the accuracy of the
fuzzy set formaulas for appropriate domains.  Also, for a given problem,
how should one determine the suitability of fuzzy sets (instead of traditional
methods) for reasoning under uncertainty?  The journal articles
tend to be rather specialized, and don't address such basic issues.

Please repond by E-mail; I'll post a summary if interest is sufficient.
Any ideas will help, and thanks in advance.
