After almost twenty years of efforts towards augmenting fuzzy systems with learning and adaptation capabilities, one of the most prominent approaches to do so has resulted in the emergence of genetic fuzzy systems. These kinds of hybrid systems meld the approximate reasoning method of fuzzy systems with the adaptation capabilities of evolutionary algorithms. On the one hand, fuzzy systems have demonstrated the ability to formalize in a computationally efficient manner the approximate reasoning typical of humans. On the other hand, genetic (and in general evolution-inspired) algorithms constitute a robust technique in complex optimization, identification, learning, and adaptation problems. In this way, their confluence leads to increased capabilities for the design and optimization of fuzzy systems.
GEFS2013 will become the
fifth workshop in a series of
highly successful symposiums
dedicated to serving the needs
of academics and practitioners
in computational intelligence
following the previous workshops
in Granada (Spain), Ambleside
(UK), Witten-Bommerholz
(Germany) and Mieres (Spain).
The objective of GEFS2013 is to
facilitate the promotion of
novel problems, research,
results, and future directions
in the growing area of genetic
and evolutionary fuzzy systems.
GEFS2013 will provide an
opportunity to meet researchers
working on the topic, make new
contacts and exchange ideas.
The GEFS series of workshops are
an important part of the
activities of the Evolutionary
Fuzzy Systems Task Force of the
Fuzzy System Technical Committee
(IEEE Computational Intelligence
Society). This 6th edition of
GEFS will be held on April
16-19, 2013 as a part of the
Symposium Series on
Computational Intelligence
sponsored by the IEEE
Computational Intelligence
Society (IEEE SSCI 2013) in
Singapore.
The workshop program will focus on:
And in general, proposals focussed on the application of genetic or evolutionary algorithms for the design and/or optimization of fuzzy systems.
Please forward your proposals with detailed abstract and bio-sketches of the speakers to Workshop Co-Chairs and SSCI Keynote-Tutorial Chair, Dr S Das.
Please forward your special session proposals to Workshop Co-Chairs.
