Assignment 3 – Fuzzy Logic Toolbox
About the problem:
A “Fuzzy Logic Toolbox” provides functions and apps for designing and simulating
fuzzy logic systems. It lets the user specify and configure input variables, output variables,
membership functions, rules and defuzzification methods. (Example: MATLAB’s Fuzzy
Logic Toolbox™)
What you are required to do:
Build a simple fuzzy logic toolbox and test it on a well-known problem. In this fuzzy logic
toolbox, the user can:
1. Define a new fuzzy logic system.
2. Define the system’s variables.
3. Define each variable’s range and fuzzy sets.
4. Define the input variables’ crisp values.
5. Define the rules.
6. Get the predicted output.
Example:

Project Risk Estimation
The problem is to estimate the risk level of a project based on the project
funding and the technical experience of the project’s team members.
Main Menu:
==========
1- Add variables.
2- Add fuzzy sets to an existing variable.
3- Add rules.
4- Run the simulation on crisp values.
Enter the variable’s name, type (IN/OUT) and range ([lower, upper]):

Note: In this example, the user’s input is in gray.
Important remarks to help you solve the problem:
1. You will need to create the appropriate classes and data structures to store the
system’s data.
2. The system may contain multiple output variables.
3. The expected fuzzy set shapes are either triangular or trapezoidal.
4. In the “run simulation” step, you will need to perform fuzzification, inference
and defuzzification using the weighted average method.
5. Show error messages if there is missing input or if the user enters invalid input.
6. Test your program on the example in the lab.
7. If you build a graphical user interface for the fuzzy logic toolbox and implement
reading from and writing to a file, you will get bonus grades.
Assignment submission notes:
• The maximum number of students in a team is 4 and the minimum is 3.
• The deadline will be announced, and no late submission is allowed.
• Please submit one compressed folder. The folder name should follow this
structure: ID1_ID2_ID3_GROUP
• Cheating students will take negative grades and no excuses will be accepted. If
you have any problems during the submission, contact your TA but don’t, under
any circumstances, give your code to or take the code from your friends.
Grading Criteria: (5 marks)
Program & Code Structure 1
Fuzzification (Memberships) 1.5
Inference 1
Defuzzification (Output) 1.5
Good luck
