About the Symposium
This symposium is the fourth symposium organized by Management Engineering
Research Group to discuss on the present state of arts of ｡ﾈmanagement
engineering.｡ﾉ The symposium is held for promoting the research on Management
Engineering. The symposium will be held every year for 10 times from now
on.
The management engineering was renamed from Industrial Engineering where
the strength is placed on management as well as production in the industrial
engineering. Originally industrial engineering was a research area where
the effective and efficient production was to be realized in factories
or production.
Therefore, time study, human factors, scheduling, human studies were included
in the area. Recently, the effectiveness and efficiency of management are
more required in the strongly competitive world.
The Management Engineering is also strengthened on new methodologies including
artificial intelligence, soft-computing as well as management science and
operations researches.
Since the propose of Fuzzy Sets by Lotfi A. Zadeh the research of fuzzy
systems has been done very widely and rapidly. Today the concept of fuzzy
systems is merged and fusion with various concepts and technologies. One
of such areas is named soft computing that is considered to go beyond von-Neumann
type of computing. The Intelligent Computing is intending to employ such
methods to deal with words.
The symposium is concerning with rather wide range including intelligence,
computation, operations research, management science as well as probability
theory and possibility theory, fuzzy sets, rough sets, approximate reasoning,
linguistic information processing and automata, knowledge discovery, clustering
and data analysis, fuzzy control and modeling, optimization under uncertainty
and its applications, games and decision making, fuzzy analysis, fuzzy
game.
We are welcoming all participants to attend and present recent results
and discuss from the perspective of soft and innovational computing.
