Abstract
One of the aims of the theory of fuzzy sets is the development of a methodology for the formulation and solution of problems which are too complex or ill-defined to be susceptible to analysis by conventional techniques. Because of its unorthodoxy, it has been and will continue to be controversial for some time. Eventually, though, the theory of fuzzy sets is likely to be recognized as a natural development in the evolution of scientific thinking. In retrospect, the skepticism about its usefulness will be viewed as a manifestation of the human attachment to tradition andre sistance to innovation.Keywords
