R. Kumar Invited Speakers: S. Kawaji, K. Tanaka, E. Uchino S. Yasunobu and G. Vachtsevanos Supported by a grant from Honeywell Corporation In recent years many successful designs based on fuzzy control have been reported. In this minisymposium our aim is to obtain first hand accounts of these control systems from the very designers of these systems. The topics to be covered include the role envisaged by the the designers for the fuzzy control methodology, a clear and step-by-step description of the fuzzy control approach to control system design, and a description of some of the successful fuzzy control system designs for trains, washing machines, cameras, automobiles, etc. Finally, there will be a roundtable discussion featuring both experts in fuzzy control system design and other approaches, for the purpose of assessing the utility of the fuzzy approach to control system design and comparing it to other alternative control system design methodologies. The IMA has no registration fee and provides office space, computer and secretarial support to preregistered participants during workshops and minisymposia. To preregister for this event, contact the IMA. Monday, April 19 ----------------- Registration (8:45 AM) P.R.
