Abstract

This paper traces the historical origins of perceptual computing and credits Tong and Bonissone (IEEE Trans Syst Man Cybern 10:716---723, 1980) as being the first to originate it but under a different name. It also takes the position that interval type-2 fuzzy sets, and not type-1 fuzzy sets, should be used in perceptual computing. Finally, it proposes some testable guidelines for when a solution (e.g., perceptual computing) may be branded computing with words.
