I. AIM AND SCOPE

In recent years, computational intelligence has been used to solve many complex problems by developing intelligent systems. Fuzzy logic has proved to be a powerful tool for decision-making systems, such as expert systems and pattern classification systems. Fuzzy logic has made its way into general medicine, biomedical engineering, bioinformatics as well as diagnosis and treatment. The complexity of medical practice makes traditional quantitative approaches of analysis inappropriate. In medicine, the lack of information, and its imprecision, and, many times, contradictory natures are common facts. The current application areas of control engineering in medicine constitute a wide spectrum ranging from simple dosage prescription schemes to highly sophisticated adaptive controllers.

This special session aims to provide an opportunity for international researchers to share and review recent advances in the foundations, integration architectures and applications of fuzzy logic in Biomedical engineering, medicine and bioinformatics.
