This paper intends to present the differences appearing between the pervasive systems and other usual systems regarding the tuning of the fuzzy controllers. For the pervasive systems used in the intelligent buildings, the emphasize is on the building’s occupant and the used equipment is to be engineered so that the occupant will be as less perturbed by its presence or settings. For the fuzzy controllers used in non-pervasive systems - although the occupants are not working with physical quantities, but with language described variables, the definition of the inputs’ and outputs’ domain values can be modified only by reprogramming.
The result generated by the research work that lays at the basis of the present paper is the tuning of the fuzzy controllers used in pervasive systems. The occupants role is to describe the sensation they have in the very moment, the sensation they would like to have, and the fuzzy controllers’ inputs and outputs will be automatically modified based on different parameters regarding the occupants, for example the clothes worn.
The tuning of the fuzzy controllers for the pervasive systems has not been treated before, the authors intending to make a detailed and deep research in this field.
