Lotfi Aliasker Zade
Other contributions[edit]
Zadeh is also credited, along with John R. Ragazzini, in 1952, with having pioneered the
development of the z-transform method in discrete time signal processing and analysis. These
methods are now standard in digital signal processing, digital control, and other discrete-time
systems used in industry and research. He was an editor of the International Journal of
Computational Cognition.
Zadeh's most recent work included computing with words and perceptions. His recent papers
include From Search Engines to Question-Answering Systems—The Role of Fuzzy Logic,
Progress in Informatics, No. 1, 1–3, 2005; and Toward a Generalized Theory of Uncertainty
(GTU)—An Outline, Information Sciences, Elsevier, Vol. 172, 1–40, 2005.
