Aims and Objectives

General aims for second cycle education
Second-cycle courses and study programmes shall involve the acquisition of specialist knowledge, competence and skills in relation to first-cycle courses and study programmes, and in addition to the requirements for first-cycle courses and study programmes shall - further develop the ability of students to integrate and make autonomous use of their knowledge - develop the students' ability to deal with complex phenomena, issues and situations, and - develop the students' potential for professional activities that demand considerable autonomy, or for research and development work. (Higer Education Act, Chapter 1, Section 9)

Course Objectives
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.

Main Content of the Course

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.

Teaching Methods
The course will be given in the form of a number of lectures and laboratory exercises and project work. 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.

Examination Methods
Examnination, 7.5 higher education credits. (Code: 0100) To pass the course students are expected to achieve a passing grade the course on a number of assignments and oral presentations.

Unless the higher education institution prescribes another grading system, one of the following grades is to be used: fail, pass, or pass with distinction (Chapter 6, Section 19, Higher Education Ordinance). Grades used on course are Fail (U), Pass (G) or Pass with Distinction (VG). Examnination Grades used are Fail (U), Pass (G) or Pass with Distinction (VG). For further information, see the university's local examination regulations (in Swedish).

Specific entry requirements

Computer Engineering, Research methodologies for Intelligent Systems, Second Level, 30 ECTS credits. For further information, see the university's admission regulations (in Swedish).

Transfer of Credits for Previous Studies

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).
