SCOPE
In the Intelligent Systems area, Soft Computing and DataMining are methodologies that have demonstrated their efficiency and effectiveness to model situations and solve complex problems. Different fields of interest in their exploration can be: Renewable Energy, Logistics, Green Logistics, Medical Systems, Financial Systems, etc.
A researcher should not be limited to improve the results achieved and he should not deepen more in his work line, but also he is required to open new lines of study, new solution approaches and new application fields. From this viewpoint, it makes sense to apply Soft Computing in the fields mentioned above. So, we must look for new models, propose innovative solutions and analyze results in order to demonstrate the advantages of Soft Computing.
Within the scope of this session, the areas and topics of interest include, but are not limited, to:
- Fuzzy Decision Making;
- Fuzzy Optimization;
- Fuzzy Learning Systems;
- Information Processing;
- Knowledge Extraction;
- DataMining;
- Metaheuristics;
- Other Related Topics
and applications such as:
- Logistic;
- Green Logistics;
- Ecological systems and Environment;
- Renewable Energies;
- Bioinformatics;
- Financial Management;
- Prediction and Diagnosis Systems;
- Other Related Applications.
