IEEE CIS Distinguished Lecture Program
Rudolf Kruse delivered a lecture on “Decomposable Probabilistic Models” at the Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata during his stay from 10.11.18 to 20.11.18 in India within the IEEE CIS Distinguished Lecture Program.
IEEE SSCI 2018
The CI group was at the IEEE SSCI conference in Bangalore, India. We presented 5 papers, did networking and got new ideas for future works:

ANTS Conference 2018
Palina, Sebastian and Christoph attended the ANTS 2018 conference in Rome and presented two papers:
Hemant Singh Visited SwarmLab
Dr. Hemant Singh from University of New South Wales (Canberra, Australia) visited SwarmLab and gave a talk about
Development of evolutionary computation methods for multi-objective design optimization and decision-making
Flight experiment
Today we performed the first of a series of fully autonomous outdoor Swarm Flight experiments. Too strong wind and lots of new unexpected features were challenging for our micro-robots. Some impressions from today:
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.
