Abstract
Based on quantale-enriched category, we consider algebras with compatible quantale-enriched structures, which can be viewed as fuzzification of ordered algebraic structures. We mainly study groupoids and semigroups with compatible quantale-enriched structures from this viewpoint. Some basic concepts such as ideals, homomorphisms, residuated quantale-enriched groupoids are developed and some examples of them are given. Our approach gives a complement to the approach initiated by Rosenfeld to study fuzzy abstract algebra, and these two approaches are combined in the present paper to study fuzzy aspects of abstract algebra structures.
