Approximate Reasoning and Artificial Intelligence Group (ARAI)
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+
The Working Group on Approximate Reasoning and Artificial Intelligence
started off with a small group of researchers which, at the end of the
70s, started working on Fuzzy Sets Theory and Fuzzy Logic.
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

Process Cybernetics Group at University of Strathclyde
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-
We are a small group (there are only four of us), but we are
active in the area of model-based fuzzy control.
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'.

Fuzzy Logic at University of Missouri-Columbia.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+
The University of Missouri- Columbia (MU) is home to one of the
largest U.S.-based research groups in the fuzzy solutions field.
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.
