The theory of fuzzy sets and its real-world applications
József Dombi (Hungary)
The SOFA workshop focuses on theoretical and applied computational intelligence and informatics. Its aim is to provide a platform for scientists, researchers and students on Soft Computing to publish to discuss and publish the results of their research.
The connection of the theoretical results and the practical applications is one of the most important tasks of the workshop. In the round table meeting we will discuss how different operators could be applied in practice, first of all by using the fuzzy control systems. In this area, several problems arise:
- describing the logical expression (using different operators)
- representing the consequent
- aggregating the consequents
- defuzzification
- interpolative solutions, etc.
The fuzzy control can also be represented by neural network. A very interesting question is how to handle this approach. Finally, real practical application shows the effectiveness of the different configurations of fuzzy control. We can also mention that the input of the fuzzy control can be obtained from picture processing procedure or from other resources (e.g. using signal processing).
In summary: The topic of the round table discussion covers the theory of fuzzy sets and its real world applications.
