At first glance, fuzzy logic and chaos theory may seem two totally different areas with merely marginal connections to each other. In this introduction, after reviewing the evolution of fuzzy set theory and chaos theory, respectively, we explain briefly the ideas why we bring them together, and we shall show that the understanding of the interactions between fuzzy systems and chaos theory lays a solid foundation for better applications of the two promising new technologies, and their integration offers a great number of interesting possibilities in their interplay and future developments.
