[Fwd: [computational.science] CFP: Special Issue on Dynamical Fuzzy Systems and Applications]
by Gustaf Neumann 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: Special Issue on Dynamical Fuzzy Systems and Applications Datum: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 22:43:29 +0300 Von: Xiao-Zhi Gao <gao(a)cc.hut.fi> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> International Journal of Computational Intelligence Research (IJCIR) Call for Papers Special Issue on Dynamical Fuzzy Systems and Applications Due to its great flexibility in utilizing domain knowledge to cope with ill-defined systems, fuzzy logic theory has found numerous successful applications in industrial engineering, e.g., pattern recognition, automatic control, and fault diagnosis. Generally, a fuzzy logic system with embedded linguistic knowledge maps an input (feature) vector to a scalar (conclusion) output. Most fuzzy systems deployed in practice are static. That is to say, they lack necessary dynamics, and can, thus, only implement nonlinear but non-adaptive input-output mappings. This disadvantage considerably hinders their wider employment in such areas as dynamical modeling, prediction, filtering, and control. Dynamical fuzzy systems are usually built based on the internal feedback and memory to store useful history input information. With featured dynamics, dynamical fuzzy systems are capable of handling temporal problems. They can overcome certain drawbacks of the static fuzzy systems. This special issue focuses on presenting the latest work in the theory and applications of dynamical fuzzy systems. The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: Dynamical Mamdani fuzzy systems Dynamical Sugeno fuzzy systems Autoregressive fuzzy systems Temporal fuzzy reasoning Dynamical fuzzy optimization Dynamical fuzzy programming Stability analysis of dynamical fuzzy systems Design of dynamical fuzzy systems Recurrent fuzzy neural networks Hardware implementation of dynamical fuzzy systems Applications of dynamical fuzzy systems Authors should submit the electronic version of their papers in Postscript or PDF formats to all three guest editors according to the IJCIR paper format: http://www.padath.net/ Important Dates Paper submission: August 31, 2007 Acceptance/Rejection notification: December 31, 2007 Special issue publication: Spring 2008 Guest Editors Xiao-Zhi Gao Helsinki University of Technology, Finland gao(a)cc.hut.fi Athanasios Vasilakos University of Western Macedonia, Greece vasilako(a)ath.forthnet.gr Dong Hwa Kim Hanbat National University, Korea kimdh(a)hanbat.ac.kr -- Dr. X.

It is one of the most important as well as promising IT research fields in the era of Web and agent intelligence. The 2007 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'07) will be jointly held with the 2007 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT'07), the 2007 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM'07), and the 2007 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing (GrC'07) for providing synergism among the four research areas. It will provide opportunities for technical collaboration beyond that of previous conferences. The four conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend workshops, sessions and tutorials across the four conferences. We are also planning a joint panel and joint paper sessions that discuss common problems in the four areas. +++++++++++ Highlights +++++++++++ The conference will be held in Silicon Valley, California. Many high-tech companies and three distinguished universities (Stanford, UC Berkely and UCSC) are just around the corner. The highlight of the conference is that a unique forum consisting of a half-day industry/ demo track and free discussion will be organized to link industries and academics.
