- I am working on state monitoring of patients in ICUs. Using finite automata
- (or finite state machines, if you like) for modelling the patient's states
- seems reasonable, only crisp criteria for state transitions are not very
- adequate. (Neither is the fact that a patient is at 100% in a certain state
- very frequent.) Extending FSMs to fuzzyness by the extension principle seems
- a good idea to me. Has this been done before? Can anyone povide me with
- some theoretic background?
-
- Furthermore I am thinking of collecting some thoughts about fuzzy unification
- (especially in the context of PROLOG). Is there any work I should look at
- before getting started?

- Thanks in advance, F.S.
