Dissertation Defense Christian Braune
Christian Braune has successfully defended his dissertation "Skeleton-based Validation for Density-based Clustering".
We would like to thank the external committee memebrs Prof. Marie-Jeanne Lesot (Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris) and Prof. Richard Weber (Universidad de Chile, Chile) who travel all the way to Magdeburg for this event.
Master Defense Sebastian Mai
Sebastian Mai successfully defended his Master thesis about Simultaneous Localisation and Optimisation – Towards Swarm Intelligence in Robots.
Research visit Doshisha University Kyoto
In July, Sanaz and Heiner visited the Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan. During this visit we had very constructive exchange with professor Tomo Hiroyasu and his lab members. Michael Mera, our Master student who is currently working there, gave a talk about his master thesis.
Prof. Rudolf Kruse received the IEEE CIS Pioneer Award
Professor Rudolf Kruse received the IEEE CIS Pioneer Award for his works on Fuzzy Systems in the award ceremony which took place at IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI) on 11th July in Rio de Janeiro.
Hohe Auszeichnung für Magdeburger Informatiker
Rudolf Kruse, Professor an der Fakultät für Informatik der OVGU Magdeburg, wurde auf dem IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence in Rio de Janeiro vor 1500 Tagungsteilnehmern der renommierte Fuzzy Systems Pioneer Award überreicht. Das Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) ist der weltweit größte Berufsverband von Ingenieuren aus den Bereichen Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik. Ein Pioneer Award gehört zu den höchsten Auszeichnungen der IEEE.
Mit dem Fuzzy Systems Pioneer werden seit dem Jahr 2000 frühe Konzepte und nachhaltige Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Fuzzy-Systeme gewürdigt. Fuzzy Methoden erlauben die computergestützte Handhabung von impräzisen und unsicheren Informationen. Kruse erhielt die Auszeichnung für die „Entwicklung von Lernverfahren für Fuzzy-Systeme in Theorie und Anwendungen“. Fuzzy Systeme gehören wie Künstliche Neuronale Netze, Evolutionäre Algorithmen und Schwarmintelligenz zu den naturanalogen Verfahren und werden unter dem plakativen Begriff computational intelligence (CI) zusammengefasst. Kruse entwickelt auch nach seiner Emeritierung weiterhin Assistenzsysteme mit Hilfe von CI-Methoden.

Gender X Informatik Workshop
The Chair of Computational Intelligence is the official partner at the Gender X Informatik Project, which is being funded by the ministry of science (BMBF). The goal of this project is to study the influence of the research in computer science on the society and particularly on the gender relevant issues. The first workshop (in Magdeburg) will be organized on 14th December:
Keynote at SEAL 2017
Sanaz gave a keynote speech about Multi-Criteria Optimization and Decision Making in Dynamic Environments at the 11th International Conference on Simulated Evolution and Learning which took place at SUSTech (Southern University of Science and Technology of China) in Shenzhen China.

1st and 2nd places at International Competition Computational Intelligence in Games
The students of our CIG Course got several prizes at the international competition in Computational Intelligence in Games which was announced last week at CIG 2017 Conference in New York.
In this competition which was part of the requirements for the course Computational Intelligence in Games SS17, the students have worked on AI methods for the PacMan Game. The competition had two categories: MS. Pac-Man Track and Ghost Team Track. In both categories, our students could win some prizes.
In Ghost Team Track:
- Place 1 (Max F.), Prize 500 USD
- Place 2 (Felix P., Till I.), Prize 300 USD
- Place 5 (Nils S., Tim T.)
- Place 6 (Stefan S. und Thomas S.)
In Ms. Pac-Man Track:
- Place 4 (Tony S.)
- Place 5 (Bastian H.)
- Place 6 (Alex D.)
