Title: IEEE 1855: Foundations, Applications, Education
Department of physics "ettore pancini"
University of Naples Federico II, Italy
Talk Abstract：
This seminar introduced IEEE 1855, the first IEEE standard technology in the area of computational intelligence. IEEE 1855 is based on the original idea of a Fuzzy Markup Language (FML), an abstract tool for representing fuzzy systems in a human-readable and hardware-independent way. Thank to its capabilities, IEEE 1855 is currently used to design and develop enhanced frameworks for AI and, moreover, it is going to become a consolidated tool for education in primary and secondary schools. This seminar will provide summer school students with the basic concepts of IEEE 1855 and its applications, so as to allow them the start a new exciting experience in the area of FML-based AI systems.
Vita：
Giovanni Acampora (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Salerno, Fisciano, Italy, in 2007.,From July 2011 to August 2012, he was a Hoofddocent Tenure Track of process intelligence with the School of Industrial Engineering, Information Systems, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. He was a Reader of computational intelligence from the School of Science and Technology, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, U.K., from September 2012 to June 2016. Since 2016, he has been an Associate Professor of artificial intelligence with the University of Naples Federico II. He is the Chair of IEEE-SA 1855WG, the working group that has published the first IEEE standard in the area of fuzzy logic. His main research interests include computational intelligence, fuzzy modeling, evolutionary computation, and ambient intelligence. Prof. Acampora is a member of the scientific board of the Interdepartmental Center for Advanced Robotics in Surgery (ICAROS). He was a recipient of two prestigious awards: the IEEE-SA Emerging Technology Award in 2016 and the 2019 Canada-Italy Innovation Award for Emerging Technologies. In 2017, he acted as a General Chair of IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, the top leading conference in the area of fuzzy logic. He serves as an Editor in Chief of Springer Quantum Machine Intelligence, an Associate Editor of Springer Soft Computing, and an editorial board member of Springer Memetic Computing, Elsevier Heliyon, Inderscience International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communication Systems, and the IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems.
