Abstract: “Fusion of ANN and Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) are frequently applied by researchers in various scientific and engineering research areas to solve real world problems. This type of system is characterized by a fuzzy system where fuzzy sets and fuzzy rules are adjusted using input output pattern pair. There are several methods of integration of these two powerful computing techniques that is basically application dependent. This paper describes the structural differences of several popular combinations of ANN and FIS along with its advantages and disadvantages.”

Keywords: Fuzzy inferencing system, Concurrent model, Cooperative model, Neuro-Fuzzy architectures.
