Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLSs) are normally associated with dedicated hardware/software systems. However, the distributed and pervasive architecture of many modern hardware/software systems is driving increasing interest in pervasive, distributed FLSs. Achieving this vision will require the design of FLS implementations which support client-server models and more specifically, cloud-computing and service-oriented solutions. Here, FLSs become a globally accessible service that enables openness, device independence, load balancing, resource sharing and ultimately cost effectiveness. In this paper, the recently standardised fuzzy mark-up language (IEEE-1855) and proposed extensions are used for designing Web Services for FLS computations. The novelty of this approach is in integrating different FLS components (input collection, processing and output) into a single web service platform which uses a well specified language for communication over the Web via HTTP request/responses. The utility of this approach is shown in the context of implementing FLSs in Ambient Intelligent Environments
