I International workshop on Genetic Fuzzy System

Presentation

After almost forty years of development, fuzzy systems have demonstrated their superb ability to solve different problems arising in various application domains. In the last few years, there has been a rapidly growing interest to augment fuzzy systems with learning and adaptation capabilities. Since the first pioneer works dated back to 1991, one of the most successful approaches to hybridize fuzzy systems with learning and adaptation methods has resulted in so-called genetic fuzzy systems. These soft computing techniques augment the approximate reasoning method of fuzzy systems with the learning capabilities of evolutionary algorithms.

Now that the topic has reached maturity, and hundreds of papers have been published, special sessions have been organized in conferences, special issues have been edited in journals, and several books have been written and edited, it becomes timely to bring together researchers and practitioners. The objective of this workshop is to build a vibrant forum for exchanging ideas and fostering further interaction.
