Abstract
This works presents an implementation of a fuzzy rule based classifier where each single variable fuzzy rule based classifier (or a set of them) is assigned to a different processor in a parallel architecture. Partial conclusions are synchronized and processed by a master processor. This approach has been applied to a very large database and results are compared with a parallel neural network approach.
