PROPOSED ACTIVITIES
During the period 2010-2011, we plan
to continue all those activities initiated during the last two
years, and establish the basis for new projects to be developed
in collaboration with non-academic organizations
- FUZZYMAD meeting
(J. Montero)
The great success of the first FuzzyMAD Workshop meeting, held
in Madrid as a joint initiative of the IMI program together with
another IMI program, makes a must to continue it , as promised
to all participants (40 in total, which represents almost all
researchers in Madrid developing fuzzy models and techniques in
different theoretical and applied fields). The format of the
first Workshop was focused on presenting each group and
interests, and the next Workshop should be devoted to explore
joint research collaboration.
- Conference on
BAYESIAN METHODS (M.A. Gómez-Villegas)
We pretend to make a second call to all Bayesian researchers in
Spain, as a natural sequel of the Bayesian conference held in
Madrid in 2008 and from the basis of the 13 members of the UCM
Research Group on Bayesian Methods. The participation of some
speakers (Miguel Angel Gómez Villegas, Paloma Maín Yaque, Luis
Sanz Sanmiguel and Rosario Susi García) has been already
confirmed.
- Participation in the
Madrid WEEK OF SCIENCE (J. Tejada)
Round table on a scientific hot issue related to information
processes, decision making or computer sciences, once per year,
with students as objective (extremely attractive speakers have
been invited during last two years in order to capture the
interest of Ph.D. students).
- HUMANITARIAN-LOG
meeting (B. Vitoriano)
The meeting will count with the participation (already
confirmed) of key elements in order to discuss all the elements
and the view point of users about the decision aid system
actually under development at Complutense University under the
incipient Ph.D. project of J.T. Rodríguez under the directive
support of B. Vitoriano, member of J. Montero’s team.
HUMANITARIAN-LOG pursues an open framework for interchange
models and practice in order to improve speed and accuracy of
the reaction of Non Governmental Organizations addressing
support intervention within a natural disaster. At a first stage
we pursue a better Knowledge of the tool largely demanded by
those humanitarian organizations. On one side, we count with our
own experience in the field and a small but key academic
researchers in Spain and outside Spain have initially agreed to
join us (for example, D. Ruan in Belgium and E. Carrizosa in
Seville). More important are those NGO potential collaborators
that have already agreed in this participate in the design of a
new decision aid system software (AECID is still to be
confirmed): Cruz Roja of Spain, Acción contra el Hambre, Médicos
sin Fronteras e Intermón-Oxfam.
INVITED VISITORS
Within the next two years we would like to count with a 2-weeks
research visit of researchers like V. Cutello (Italy), R. Mesiar
(Eslovaquia), G. Resconi (Italy), D. Ruan (Belgium) and A.
Tsoukias (France)..
