- Objectives:
- Participants will gain an understanding of the influence of uncertainty and
- interpolative reasoning on physical modeling and control processes, and will
- understand the difference between probability and fuzzy models. They will also
- explore the tradeoffs between computational cost and precision in engineering
- software and hardware designs, generate their own fuzzy expert systems and
- fuzzy rule based projects, and generate fuzzy membership functions using
- linguistic knowledge, experimental data, or neural networks.
-
- Who Should Attend:
- Managers and staff personnel alike with a background in the sciences,
- mathematics, or engineering, from industries interested in improving existing
- binary-logic based products and processes with the interval-logic based
- algorithms available with fuzzy logic.
-
- Prerequisite:
- Anyone with a technical background will be quite comfortable with the course
- content. Students should be familiar with the basic ideas of set theory and
- simple predicate logic, but these are not absolutely required since a review
- of these subjects will be provided.
-
- Registration Information:
- The course fee is $795.00. This fee covers all course materials including a
- course notebook and various software programs to be used in the hands-on
- exercises. A UNM Continuing Education Units (CEUs) certificate is available.
- A textbook for the course, Fuzzy Logic and Control: Software and Hardware
- Applications, (Prentice Hall, 1992) is available for an additional $50.00.
- A ten percent discount is available for multiple registrations received from
- the same company.
-
- Cancellation Policy:
- If cancellation of registration is necessary, you must notify our office at
- least 10 calendar days before a course begins in order to receive a full
- refund. No refund will be made if less than 10 days notice is received.
- However, substitute attendees are acceptable, as is transference of the course
- fee to another Hands-On Fuzzy Logic short course.
