In 1991, the German Association of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers (VDI/VDE) established the working group UA451, focusing on "Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Control", in its Measurement and Automation Chapter (GMA). The group is made up of a number of European pioneers in fuzzy logic applications, as well as leading fuzzy logic software and hardware suppliers. Its company members include: Allen-Bradley, Foxboro/Eckardt, Inform Software, Intel, Klockner-Moeller, Microchip Technologies, National Semiconductor, SGS-Thomson, Siemens Semiconductor, and Texas Instruments. To promote fuzzy logic in industrial applications, the group focuses on two activities: providing information platforms for designers to exchange project experiences and fuzzy logic standardization. This paper presents some of the intermediate results of the standardization activities.
