Their work, along with that of other pioneering groups, was the first of its kind on these subjects in Spain. The basic line of research is the processing of problems the imprecision and uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, using Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Sets Theory as models for this purpose. Really, the group's research work is much wider, but these models still form the central theme for most of our research work. At the present time (1997), 25 people form part of the group, who may be divided as follows: 16 PhDs and 9 who are studying for their PhD. Research lines: - Approximate Reasoning and Fuzzy Logic - Artificial Neural Networks - Data Bases and Artificial Intelligence - Decision Support Systems - Genetic Algorithms - Handling Linguistic Information - Intelligent Planning and Control - Knowledge-Based Systems - Learning and Knowledge Acquisition - Pattern Recognition using Fuzzy Techniques For more information visit our web page http://decsai.ugr.es/difuso/fuzzy.html or contact with: Antonio Gonzalez Departamento de Ciencias de la Computaci\'on e Inteligencia Artificial E.T.S. de Ingenieria Informatica Universidad de Granada Avda.

We have developed new identification algorithms for fuzzy relational models, and have developed techniques for analytically inverting these. This inversion leads to a new controller form; the Fuzzy Internal Model Controller. We are currently at the stage of transferring our ideas to industrial applications (we currently are installing four controllers at a local Whisky distillery), and will soon be selling software commercially through the partnership 'Process Cybernetics'.

In the U.S. Department of Commerce Report "Fuzzy Logic: A key technology for future competiveness," MU was listed one of only three U.S. universities where fuzzy-logic work was most prominent. Researchers at the College of Engineering are actively involved in developing fuzzy solutions to problems in computer vision, manufacturing,decision making, design and medical diagnosis. Members of the group have been in the forefront of fuzzy logic research for more than 10 years. For more information, contact: James M.
