FUZZ-IEEE-29 Recent Advances in Fuzzy Control System Design and Analysis

Organized by: Jun Yoneyama, Zsófia Lendek.

The aim of this special session is to present the state-of-the-art results in the area of theory and applications of fuzzy control system design and analysis, and to get together well-known and potential researchers in this area. Fuzzy control system design and analysis provide a systematic and efficient approach to controlling of nonlinear plants and analysis of nonlinear control systems. Fuzzy control system has been employed to deal with a wide range of nonlinear control systems. A number of results on this area have appeared in the literature. However, there is still room for improvement of the existing results in order to propose new techniques for control of nonlinear systems.

In this special session, the focus is mainly on the fuzzy control system design and analysis with emphasis on the theory and applications. The important problems and difficulties on the fuzzy control systems will be addressed, their concepts will be provided and methodologies will be proposed to take care of the nonlinear systems using the fuzzy control system approaches.

The main topics of this special session include, but are not limited to:

• Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy control system
• Uncertain fuzzy system
• Fuzzy hybrid system
• Fuzzy switching system
• Fuzzy time-delay system
• Fuzzy stochastic system
• Fuzzy polynomial system
• Type-2 fuzzy control system
• Stability analysis of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system
• Nonlinear control design based on Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system
• Predictive control
• Robust control
• Sampled-data control
• Filtering
• Sliding mode control and observer
