ABSTRACT:
During the last years, we
have developed the FLOPER platform
for providing a practical support to the so-called Multi-Adjoint Logic Programming approach (MALP in brief), which
represents an extremely flexible framework into the Fuzzy Logic Programming arena. Nowadays, FLOPER is useful for compiling (to
standard Prolog code), executing and debugging (by drawing execution trees) MALP programs,
and it is ready for being extended in the near future with powerful
transformation and optimization techniques designed in our research group
during the recent past. Our last update consists in the integration of a
graphical interface for a comfortable interaction with the system which allows,
among other capabilities, the use of projects for packing scripts and auxiliary definitions of fuzzy
sets/connectives, together with fuzzy programs and their associated lattices
modeling truth-degrees beyond the simpler crisp case ﹛true;false﹜.
