Workshops |
The ACC will offer workshops addressing current and future topics in automatic control from experts in academia, national laboratories, and industry. The workshops at ACC 2020 will take place prior to the conference on Monday June 29 and Tuesday June 30. Conference registrants can sign up for the workshops directly through the registration site. Please note that workshops are subject to cancellation due to lack of registrants. |
System Modeling and Control with Smooth Fuzzy Compositions |
Date and Time:
Half day (8:30am – 12:30pm)
Location: Location: Room 26 Organizer(s):
|
Summary: During the last years, we have witnessed major successes of fuzzy logic systems in the academia and industries. From beating professionals at games like chess, to fast detection of diseases like cancer, classification of complex images, and generation of captions for images in the personalized media of the incomplete and noisy information. In many AI fields, fuzzy systems could outperform all existing machine learning and model-based control methods. Three major aspects of fuzzy systems make the design methodology attractive. The first is the design formulation, that they can be understood, tuned, or improved by engineer's experiences and knowledge. The second aspect is the ability to handle the system disturbances and noises soft and smoothly, which facilitate the operation of industrial processes inside their margins and operational limits. The third aspect is the ability to perform on-line decision making for the processes, considering their affordable computational complexities. Hence, the purpose of providing this workshop is to provide a detailed introduction to the fundamental developments in this field for researchers, graduate students and practitioners. The main focus of the course is on the design of smooth fuzzy models for various applications which include control, modelling, and self-learning for the dynamical systems, as well as the comprehensive study of the new achievement in study of their structural properties. Prerequisite skills for participants: Linear algebra and basic knowledge of optimization and stabilization theories. No knowledge of fuzzy logic is required. Presenters:
