The present invention involves a Soft Computing Optimizer (SCOptimizer) for designing a Knowledge Base (KB) to be used in a control system for controlling a plant. The SC Optimizer provides Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) structure selection, FIS structure optimization method selection, and training signal selection and generation. The user selects a fuzzy model, including one or more of: the number of input and/or output variables; the type of fuzzy inference model (e.g., Mamdani, Sugeno, etc.); and the preliminary type of membership functions. A Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to optimize linguistic variable parameters and the input-output training patterns. A GA is also used to optimize the rule base, using the fuzzy model, optimal linguistic variable parameters, and a teaching signal.
