Much of human reasoning deals with imprecise, incomplete or vague information. However, the currently available commercial data base management systems handle only "exact" data items. Therefore, there is a need for an information system that allows representation and manipulation of imprecise information. Furthermore, it is desirable that an information system provides means for "individualization" of data to reflect the user's perception of data. / The proposed Fuzzy Relational Data Base (FRDB) model based on the research in the fields of relational data bases and theories of fuzzy sets and possibility is designed to satisfy the need for individualization and imprecise information processing. A commercial relational data base (RIM) is used as a host for the implementation of a FRDB system to demonstrate the feasibility of the model. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 44-11, Section: B, page: 3460. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1983.
