'''Soft computing''' is the idea of computing like people because people and the world are soft. , as opposed to traditional computing, deals with approximate models and gives solutions to complex real-life problems. Unlike hard computing, soft computing is tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and approximations. In effect, the role model for soft computing is the human mind. It was conceived by [[Lotfi Zadeh]], pioneer of a mathematical concept known as [[fuzzy sets]] which led to many new fields such as [[fuzzy control system]]s, fuzzy graph theory<ref> http://researchmathsci.org/apamart/apam-v4n1-3.pdf</ref>, [[fuzzy systems]], and so on.   Zadeh observed that people are good at 'soft' thinking while computers typically are 'hard' thinking.<ref>http://soft-computing.de/def.html</ref>  People use concepts like 'some', (contracted; show full)* https://web.archive.org/web/20160310135547/http://dspace.nitrkl.ac.in:8080/dspace/bitstream/2080/1136/1/subudhi.pdf
