Abstract
In this paper the development of a model for Mamdani type fuzzy rule-based systems using the new concept of granular computing (GrC) is presented. In this study a GrC algorithm is used to capture the required information in the form of data granules within a high dimensional complex database. The initial collection of information granules is used as a rule-base for a fuzzy inference system (FIS) which is optimised by utilising an Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (AGA). The proposed methodology is applied to real data relating to the heat treatment of alloy steels.
