Abstract
In this homage to Prof. Moraga, firstly a short introduction and definition of Fuzzy Deformable Prototypes, introduced by the author in 2000, referring some of the most interesting applications of this concept, mainly concerning prediction systems is presented. Then, there is a short introduction to interval fuzzy sets with the aim of showing some reflections on why it could be interesting to use interval fuzzy sets in-stead of standard ones for dealing with Fuzzy Deformable Prototypes and some guidelines for the representation and inference mechanisms required for applications.
