This book provides a critical discussion of fuzzy controllers from the perspective of classical control theory. Special emphasis is placed on topics of importance for industrial applications, including self-tuning of fuzzy controllers, optimisation and stability analysis. The text begins with a detailed introduction to fuzzy systems and control theory, and guides the reader to a thorough understanding of up-to-date research results.

From Data and Information Analysis to Knowledge Engineering

The International Conference on Information Processing and Management of - certainty in Knowledge-Based Systems, IPMU, is organized every two years with the aim of bringing together scientists working on methods for the management of uncertainty and aggregation of information in intelligent systems. Since 1986, this conference has been providing a forum for the exchange of ideas between th theoreticians and practitioners working in these areas and related ?elds. The 13 IPMU conference took place in Dortmund, Germany, June 28–July 2, 2010. This volume contains 79 papers selected through a rigorous reviewing process. The contributions re?ect the richness of research on topics within the scope of the conference and represent several important developments, speci?cally focused on theoretical foundations and methods for information processing and management of uncertainty in knowledge-based systems. We were delighted that Melanie Mitchell (Portland State University, USA), Nihkil R. Pal (Indian Statistical Institute), Bernhard Sch ̈ olkopf (Max Planck I- titute for Biological Cybernetics, Tubing ̈ en, Germany) and Wolfgang Wahlster (German Research Center for Arti?cial Intelligence, Saarbruc ̈ ken) accepted our invitations to present keynote lectures. Jim Bezdek received the Kamp ́ede F ́ eriet Award, granted every two years on the occasion of the IPMU conference, in view of his eminent research contributions to the handling of uncertainty in clustering, data analysis and pattern recognition.

In recent years there has been a growing interest to extend classical methods for data analysis. The aim is to allow a more flexible modeling of phenomena such as uncertainty, imprecision or ignorance. Such extensions of classical probability theory and statistics are useful in many real-life situations, since uncertainties in data are not only present in the form of randomness --- various types of incomplete or subjective information have to be handled. About twelve years ago the idea of strengthening the dialogue between the various research communities in the field of data analysis was born and resulted in the International Conference Series on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS). This book gathers contributions presented at the SMPS'2012 held in Konstanz, Germany. Its aim is to present recent results illustrating new trends in intelligent data analysis. It gives a comprehensive overview of current research into the fusion of soft computing methods with probability and statistics. Synergies of both fields might improve intelligent data analysis methods in terms of robustness to noise and applicability to larger datasets, while being able to efficiently obtain understandable solutions of real-world problems.

Synergies of Soft Computing and Statistics for Intelligent Data Analysis

In recent years it has become apparent that an important part of the theory of artificial intelligence is concerned with reasoning on the basis of uncertain, incomplete, or inconsistent information. A variety of formalisms have been developed, including nonmonotonic logic, fuzzy sets, possibility theory, belief functions, and dynamic models of reasoning such as belief revision and Bayesian networks. Several European research projects have been formed in the area and the first European conference was held in 1991. This volume contains the papers accepted for presentation at ECSQARU-93, the European Conference on Symbolicand Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning and Uncertainty, held at the University of Granada, Spain, November 8-10, 1993.

Planning of actions based on decision theory is a hot topic for many disciplines. Seemingly unlimited computing power, networking, integration and collaboration have meanwhile attracted the attention of fields like Machine Learning, Operations Research, Management Science and Computer Science. Software agents of e-commerce, mediators of Information Retrieval Systems and Database based Information Systems are typical new application areas. Until now, planning methods were successfully applied in production, logistics, marketing, finance, management, and used in robots, software agents etc. It is the special feature of the book that planning is embedded into decision theory, and this will give the interested reader new perspectives to follow-up.

Eines der spannendsten Themen im Bereich intelligenter Systeme - von namhaften Autoren geschrieben - zum Lernen und Nachschlagen. Das Buch führt in das Thema der Neuronalen Netze ein und weist darüber hinaus den Weg bis zum vollen Verständnis modernster Fuzzy-Systeme. Neuronale Netze sind ein wichtiges Werkzeug in den Bereichen der Datenanalyse und Mustererkennung. Ursprünglich durch das biologische Vorbild inspiriert, wurde eine Vielfalt neuronaler Netze für verschiedenste Anwendungen entwickelt. Ihre Kopplung mit Fuzzy-Systemen führt zu den sogenannten Neuro-Fuzzy-Systemen. Diese weisen die Lernfähigkeit Neuronaler Netze auf und bieten gleichzeitig den Vorteil einer transparenten regelbasierten Struktur. Sie sind daher besonders vorteilhaft für Anwendungsbereiche, in denen verständliche Lösungen aus Daten erzeugt werden müssen.

Dieses Open Access Buch erläutert, wie das Zusammenwirken von Menschen, Tieren und Pflanzen einerseits und Maschinen andererseits mit der zunehmenden Digitalisierung und durch das Zusammenwirken von natürlicher und künstlicher Intelligenz zukünftig aussehen wird und inwieweit sich Umfang und Intensität der neuen Synergien bestimmen lassen. Die hohe Komplexität der weitgefächerten Thematik soll in drei Anwendungsgebieten behandelt werden: in Medizin und Gesundheitsversorgung, in physischen und virtuellen Mobilitätsformen sowie in der Kooperation mit Tieren und Pflanzen in der Landwirtschaft. Dabei werden methodisch-technische sowie rechtliche und ethische Aspekte thematisiert.
