Proposal of fuzzy object oriented model in extended JAVA

Abstract

The knowledge imperfections should be considered when modeling complex problems. A solution is to develop a model that reduces the complexity and another option is to represent the imperfections: uncertainty, vagueness and incompleteness in the knowledge base. This paper proposes to extend the classical object oriented architecture in order to allow modeling of problems with intrinsic imperfections. The aim is to use the JAVA object oriented architecture to carry out this objective. In consequence, it is necessary to define the semantics for this extension of JAVA and it will be called Fuzzy JAVA. The NCR FuzzyJ library allows represent the vagueness (fuzziness) and uncertainty in class attributes. JAVA extended allows to model fuzzy inheritance.
