GI Group Fuzzy Systems and Soft Computing |
 |
Within the German Society of Computer Science (GI) a research group Fuzzy Systems was founded in October 1993. This group is part of the AI division of the GI. Subjects of the group are the topics Fuzzy Set Theory, Fuzzy Logic, Approximate Reasoning, Fuzzy Control, Uncertainty and Vagueness in Knowledge Based Systems and Fuzzy Data Analysis.
In addition to this, the interest of the group focusses on industrial applications in the field of control engineering (e.g. robotics) as well as speech and pattern recognition. Moreover, neighboring areas like Neural Nets, Machine Learning, and conventional control techniques are considered with respect to fuzzy theory.
By organizing workshops the research group supports
Workshops
An important activity of the group is the periodical workshop
"Fuzzy Systems" held annually in different places in Germany.
The workshop "Computational Intelligence in Industrial
Applications (CI'2000)" was held on 11./12. May in the "Kongresshaus
Baden-Baden".
Under the organization of Prof. Dr. Sigrid Hafner (Universität
Paderborn), Prof. Dr. Harro Kiendl (Universität Dortmund),
Prof. Dr. Rudolf Kruse (Universität Magdeburg), and Hans-Paul Schwefel
(Universität Dortmund) current research topics was presented,
including
Fuzzy Systems, Neural Networks, Evolutionary Algorithms and
- of increasing interest in Computational Intelligence -
Data Mining. (A German conference report can be found here.)
The workshop proceedings have been published as VDI-Bericht 1526, VDI
Verlag Düsseldorf (ISBN 3-18-091526-9).
Fuzzy-Neuro Systems `99 was the sixth event of a well established
series of workshops with international participation. It was held in
Leipzig, March 18 - 19, 1999. Its aim was to give an overview of the
state of the art in research and development of fuzzy systems and
artificial neural networks. Another aim was to highlight applications
of these methods and to forge innovative links between theory and
application by means of creative discussions.
FNS'99 was organized by the Research Committee
1.2 "Inference Systems" (Fachausschuss 1.2 "Inferenzsysteme") of the
German Society of Computer Science GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik
e. V.) and Universität Leipzig.
There were 18 contributions from different research areas in
fuzzy-neuro systems, with a stress on fuzzy classification and fuzzy
image processing. The invited talks were given by P. Hájek on
fuzzy predicate calculus, R. Rojas on neural networks for recognition
of handwritten ZIP codes, and S. Thrun on algorithms for mobile
robotics.
Workshop Chairs: Gerhard Brewka and Siegfried Gottwald.
The proceedings are available as
More information (CfP, conference programme) can be found on the homepage of the FNS'99.
The 5. International GI-Workshop Fuzzy-Neuro Systems 98 - Computational Intelligence
was held from March 18 - 20, 1998 in Munich at the European Patent Office.
The chairman was Prof. Dr. W. Brauer, Technical University of Munich.
More informationen is provided on the hompage Fuzzy-Neuro Systems 98 and in a short 'Tagungsbericht' (in german).

Fuzzy-Neuro Systems'97 - Computational Intelligence (see also the
Homepage) was
the fourth workshop of a series of national meetings in the area of
fuzzy systems and artificial neural networks.
The workshop was held on March, 12 to 14, 1997 at the University of
Paderborn. The emphasis was given to Computational Intelligence.
The Chairman was A. Grauel. Invited speakers were J. Bezdek, E.-P. Klement,
T. Kohonen and P. Schwefel

Selected theory-oriented contributions to our conference have been
published in Fuzzy Sets and Systems, Volume 101, Issue 2, 16 January
1999 under the title Analytical and Structural Considerations in Fuzzy
Modeling.
