News

  • The inspection of the written exams from 6 February 2014 will take place in G29-019 on 19 February 2014 from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.

Overview


General Information

This page contains information about the lecture "Fuzzy Systems" that is read by Prof. Dr. Rudolf Kruse in the winter 2013/14. It is updated during the course.

Fuzzy set theory is an extension of the classical set theory that can model imprecise and vague expressions of natural language such as big, small, hot, cold, etc. Fuzzy logic allows to formalize rules that contain such expressions of natural language. These rules can be utilized to support decision processes. The lecture "Fuzzy Systems" offers an introduction to both fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic. Moreover it deals with applications of control engineering, approximate inference, and data analysis.

Note that since "Fuzzy Systems" is a master course, both lecture and exercise will be given in English. There might be German assignment sheets on request.

Conditions for Certificate ("Schein") and Exam

A new assignment sheet containing written and programming assignments is published on this web page every week. The written assignments must me ticked of at the beginning of every exercise. Ticking off an assignment you agree to be able to explain and present the assignment and your solution proposal (which need not to be completely correct. However, you should be prepared thoroughly in order to solve the assignment).

Programming assignments must be submitted in electronic form to Christian Moewes before 8 o'clock in the morning of the corresponding exercise day. Late assignments will not be accepted. The programs must run properly on the SUN pool machines in the faculty of computer science.

The certificate for this course is issued to students who

  • regularly contribute well in the exercises,
  • tick off at least two third of all written assignments,
  • present at least twice a solution to a written assignment during the exercise,
  • submit at least twice a running implementation of a programming assignment, and
  • finally pass the written exam after the course.

Students who want to finish the course with an exam or a marked certificate must

  • regularly contribute well in the exercises,
  • tick off at least half of all written assignments,
  • present at least twice a solution to a written assignment during the exercise,
  • officially announce the exam to the examination office by using HISQIS.
  • finally pass the written exam after the course.

The written exam is scheduled on Thursday, 6 February 2014 in the FIN auditorium (G29-307) from 13:00 until 15:00 o'clock. Be there at least 10 minutes before it will start. The following auxiliary means you may bring to and use for the exam:

  • a non-programmable calculator (although you won't need any),
  • a blue or black pen,
  • a ruler,
  • a pencil.

We will issue paper to write on.
