  text: Agent-based systems technologies are of emerging interest in the specification
    and implementation of complex systems. This article introduces the CASA agent
    development system which seamlessly combines the BDI (belief desire intention)
    approach with the FIPA agent communication language standard and an integrated
    specification of fuzzy controllers. The behavior of agents is defined by strategies
    which basically correspond to extended guarded Horn clauses with priorities. The
    presented concepts are introduced by an example from computer integrated manufacturing
    (CIM). The example gives the specification of a fuzzy controller for a manufacturing
    station in the context of a holonic manufacturing system (HMS).

  text: Modeling of human knowledge and reasoning requires the formulation of uncertainty
    in its various forms. Fuzzy logic was introduced to directly support these applications
    (H. Zimmermann, 1991). Fuzzy control (FC) which is based on fuzzy logic allows
    one to control complex systems based on qualitative information like human knowledge
    (C. Geiger and G. Lehrenfeld, 1994). In fuzzy logic, fuzzy sets are usually defined
    and manipulated by means of complex mathematics, whereas the fuzzy control process
    is frequently outlined by visual sketches based on set diagrams in order to enhance
    the comprehension of the inference process. The rule based execution of this process
    usually follows the lines of rule based visual programming languages (VPLs), i.e.,
    languages comparable to Agentsheets and ChemTrains. This strongly indicates that
    VPLs are thus well applicable for this use. We first outline the basic concepts
    of fuzzy logic and fuzzy control. Thereafter, we sketch a visual language which
    integrates fuzzy set diagrams in the visual representation of rules. The basic
    concepts are inherited from the complete visual programming language, Pictorial
    Janus (PJ). However, we significantly simplify PJ's visual concepts in order to
    adapt it for our purpose.
