Research projects
FINISHED PROJECTS:
- "Applications of Fuzzy Logic to Optimization Problems"
DGICYT PS 88-90. A general model for Fuzzy Linear Programming problems was studied and developed, which was then introduced into an Intelligent System for Solving problems of this nature.
- "ORBE: Experimental Fuzzy Computer" Ministry for Industry Phase I: PEIN II 947/90. Phase II: Ministry for Industry and Energy: MINER G/28826055. An architecture was developed for subsequent implementation of a fuzzy processor for applications in the field of control.
- "DRUMS: Defeasible reasoning and uncertainty management systems" EEC ESPRIT Programme. Basically, work was carried out on the study of mechanisms for processing and representing uncertainty in intelligent systems.
- "STATLOG: Comparative testing and evaluation of statistical and logical learning on large-scale applications for classification, prediction and control" the EEC ESPRIT programme. Different learning algorithms were compared using different problems with great complexity.
- "Neural networks and Fuzzy Logic" DGICYT PB89-0463. This project studied the advantages offered by combining fuzzy techniques in the development and applications of neural networks.
- "An imprecise data base for processing medical data" CYCIT TIC 690/90. Different mechanisms were proposed for processing with imprecise terms in a data base.
- "Design and implementation of an imprecise data base for
processing hospital data" CYCIT TIC-92-0844. Continuation of the previous project, in this one tools were proposed and implemented for processing imprecise data in the context of a hospital, and in particular, a fuzzy data base management system was implemented.
- "Identifying Systems Using Inductive Learning Techniques"
CYCIT TIC92-0665. In this project, SLAVE was developed, which is an inductive learning system, it is capable of learning imprecise rules that allow systems to be identified.
- "Applications of Fuzzy Logic with Genetic algorithms" DGICYT P392-0933. In this project, the use of fuzzy tools was studied in terms of improving the behaviour genetic algorithms and their application for tuning and generating fuzzy rule bases.
- "Fuzzy neural network models and their applications" DGICYT P92-0945. This is a project continuing the work of "Neural networks and Fuzzy Logic". Fuzzy neural network models have been developed (basically max-min type ones), and techniques have been proposed for processing fuzzy information in classic neural network models.
- Cooperation network ERCIM group in Databases and Information
Systems. Programme of Human Capital and Mobility in the EEC. This involved a network aimed at the exchange of experiences and studies between different European groups studying advanced data base models, mainly deductive data bases and distributed data bases.
