Abstract

A method to add expression level fuzzy rule processing capability to existing crisp rule engine without requiring extensive modifications to such rule engine. A system and computer implemented method receive a data set at a crisp rule engine. If the data set involves a fuzzy rule, a callback to a fuzzy rule broker is done. The fuzzy rule broker selects one of multiple tailored processing modules for processing the fuzzy rule. The result of processing the fuzzy rule may be converted to a crisp result and returned to the crisp rule engine.
