(Higher Education Act, Chapter 1, Section 9)

This course will present the basics of Soft computing and its application areas particularly to intelligent systems. Topics that will be discussed include SC and hybrid intelligent systems, neurofuzzy systems and adaptive control systems.

This course covers the following topics:
- fuzzy systems and their properties
- identification of fuzzy model
- non adaptive fuzzy control systems
- adaptive fuzzy control systems
- neurofuzzy system and
- fuzzy classification and decision making.

The course is organized in lectures and seminars.

Students who have been admitted to and registered on a course have the right to receive tuition and/or supervision for the duration of the time period specified for the particular course to which they were accepted (see, the university's admission regulations (in Swedish)). After that, the right to receive tuition and/or supervision expires.

For further information, see the university's local examination regulations (in Swedish).

According to the Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 6, Section 18, a grade is to be awarded on the completion of a course, unless otherwise prescribed by the university. The university may prescribe which grading system shall apply. The grade is to be determined by a teacher specifically appointed by the university (an examiner).

According to regulations on grading systems for first- and second-cycle education (vice-chancellor's decision 2010-10-19, reg. no. CF 12-540/2010), one of the following grades is to be used: fail, pass, or pass with distinction. The vice-chancellor or a person appointed by the vice-chancellor may decide on exceptions from this provision for a specific course, if there are special reasons.

Grades used on course are Fail (U), Pass (G) or Pass with Distinction (VG).

For further information, see the university's local examination regulations (in Swedish).

The applicant must have a completed Bachelor degree, comparable to a Swedish Bachelor degree, from an institution of higher education of three years or more. The bachelor degree must include courses in mathematics: calculus, algebra, and computer engineering: programming, algorithms and data structures. If the applicant's first language is not English, knowledge in English must be documented by an internationally recognized proficiency test.

For further information, see the university's admission regulations (in Swedish).

Students who have previously completed higher education or other activities are, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, entitled to have these credited towards the current programme, providing that the previous studies or activities meet certain criteria.

For further information, see the university's local credit transfer regulations (in Swedish).
