Established results from control and automation may help solving several software engineering problems. One of such problems related to service-oriented software is dynamic binding. Dynamic binding is concerned with the selection of the most suitable implementation of an abstract interface. If several functionally equivalent implementations are available, the selection among them is based on non-functional criteria, such as reliability, performance, cost, or a combination thereof. The purpose of this seminar is implement a fuzzy controller to replace the PI controllers defined in [1], and to compare the two approaches in terms of computational complexity, stability, time to converge, and easiness of control policies definition. Optionally, the fuzzy controller might be extended to deal with multiple non-functional properties at the same time This work might be optionally extended for a MS Thesis. Prerequisites A basic knowledge of fuzzy logic is recommended. Programming experience with Java, Maven, and the Spring framework would be a pro
