Abstract
We look at the representation and aggregation of individual rules in the fuzzy logic control system. Two extreme paradigms for rule representation are introduced, the Mamdani model and the logical model. We look at the characteristics of these approaches. We then combine these two approaches to get a general model for the representation of rules. From this general formulation we obtain two soft classes of rules aggregation, or-like and and-like aggregations.
