> Soft Computing is a discipline that deals with the design of hybrid
> intelligent systems which, in contrast to classical hard computing
> techniques, are tolerant to imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and
> approximation. Thus tractable, robust, and low cost solutions to
> real-world problems are achieved. The main constituents of Soft
> Computing are fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computation,
> and probabilistic reasoning.
>
> Since the term Soft Computing was coined at the beginning of the 90s,
> this area has experienced a rapid development of its fundamentals as
> well as its applications. The summer course reviews the fundamentals of
> this discipline, describes many real-world applications, and, in
> particular, treats new trends in Intelligent Data Analysis. Participants
> will gain insight into the potential of soft computing techniques and
> the state of the art in the area. To achieve this, the lecturers have
> been selected from the leaders of the different branches of Soft
> Computing.
>
> The course will cover the following topics:
>
