# Rule-Based Systems

- ## Systems that make decisions based on rules

- ## Used when the rules can be stated

- ## Crisp rules

- When the numbers dealt with are always exact
- Can be a pain in the neck to program, though

- ## Fuzzy rules

- deals with inexact concepts – ‘bigger’, ‘smaller’, ‘faster’
- easier to state rules
- Optimisation can be difficult
