Tool command language

In fuzzy logic, the use of fuzzy if-then rules is governed by the calculus of fuzzy rules, CFR. A major part of CFR is the Fuzzy Dependency and Command Language, or FDCL for short. Basically, FDCL is a fuzzy programming language that provides a powerful tool for the representation and manipulation of imprecise or ill-defined dependencies. Two issues play pivotal roles in FDCL. The first is interpolation, and the second relates to the induction of rules from observations. 

Although the graphical user interface (GUI) has greatly increased accessibility of the commercial codes, more experienced users sometimes avoid the use of the GUI altogether and rely on command languages, user FORTRAN, and ASCII files to integrate various tools and automate CFD tasks. 

Hopefully, the standard of databases and that of command languages will be improved in the future. Thus the number of users will increase and online searching will become a routine tool and the financial situation of the hosts would be improved at the same rate. 

There is a smaller set of tools that are typically run on the server. Any SQL commands and any procedural language functions are run on the server. In principle, there is complete flexibility of the server side tools, since in principle any computer program can be written in any computer language. Later chapters of this book show how the RDBMS server itself can be extended using server side programming to handle chemical information. These extensions may directly solve the needs of a particular project, but more importantly they increase the flexibility of the RDBMS to handle chemical information. Client programs can use the results of chemical searches and other computations as well. 

There are two Scorbot Controllers (Cl and C2) which contain the ACL (Advance Control Language) commands and programs that allow robots operations. Both NC-machine-tools are connected to Cl through several input/output pins for external control actions. Both controllers are operated from a computer via a serial port RS232.
