A method, system, and computer program product for predicting the functional availability of a complex system is provided. Parameters of the complex system are converted from a plurality of binary values to at least one prognostic vector. At least a portion of a binary input expression is converted into an equivalent fuzzy output expression, the fuzzy output expression operable on the at least one prognostic vector.

The method of claim 1, further including operating the fuzzy output expression on the plurality of prognostic vectors to generate a fused prognostic vector. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein converting parameters for their respective subsystem from the plurality of binary values to a plurality of prognostic vectors includes encoding both of a current status of the parameters and a predicted status of the parameters at a specified future time interval. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein converting at least a portion of the Boolean availability expression into an equivalent fuzzy output expression includes implementing at least one expression transform taking a phrase from the Boolean availability expression and converting the phrase to a function in the fuzzy output expression. 5. The method of claim 4, further including repeating the implementing at least one expression transform taking a phrase from the Boolean availability expression and the converting the phrase to a function in the fuzzy output expression until each portion of the Boolean availability expression has been converted. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein converting at least a portion of the Boolean availability expression into an equivalent fuzzy output expression includes implementing a plurality of mappings between a Boolean form represented in the Boolean availability expression into a statistical form represented in the fuzzy output expression. 7.
