| FLINS, originally an acronym for Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent Technologies in Nuclear Science, is now extended to Applied Artificial Intelligence for Applied Research. The contributions to the seventh in the series of FLINS conferences contained in this volume cover state-of-the-art research and development in applied artificial intelligence for applied research in general and for power/nuclear engineering in particular.
FLINS, an acronym for Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent technologies in Nuclear Science, is a well-established international research forum to advance the theory and applications of computational intelligence for applied research in general and for nuclear science and engineering in particular. FLINS2006 is the seventh in a series of conferences on Applied Artificial Intelligence. It follows the successful FLINS'94 in Mol, FLINS'96 in Mol, FLINS'98 in Antwerp, FLINS2000 in Bruges, FLINS2002 in Gent, and FLINS2004 in Blankenberge, Belgium. FLINS2006 in Genova, Italy, for the first time being held outside of Belgium, once again aims at covering state-of-the-art research and development in all aspects related to Applied AI. The principal missions of FLINS are: (1) conducting research on applied AI systems for solving intricate problems pertaining to nuclear/power research and related complex systems; (2) bridging the gap between machine intelligence and complex systems via joint research with Belgian, European, and international research institutes and universities; and (3) encouraging interdisciplinary research and bringing multi-discipline researchers together via the international FLINS conferences on applied AI. |
