Interval computing combined with fuzzy logic has become an emerging
tool in studying artificial intelligence and knowledge processing
(AIKP) applications since it models uncertainties frequently raised in
the field. This book provides introductions for both interval and
fuzzy computing in a very accessible style. Application algorithms
covered in this book include quantitative and qualitative data mining
with interval valued datasets, decision making systems with interval
valued parameters, interval valued Nash games and interval weighted
graphs. Successful applications in studying finance and economics, etc
are also included. This book can serve as a handbook or a text for
readers interested in applying interval and soft computing for AIKP.
Contents: Fundamentals of Interval Computing.- Soft Computing
Essentials.- Relations Between Interval Computing and Soft Computing.-
Interval Matrices in Knowledge Discovery.- Interval Function
Approximation and Applications.- Interval Rule Matrices for Decision
Making.- Interval Matrix Games.- Interval Weighted Graphs and Flow

Subject: Postdoc Position, Math, University of Graz
We offer a Postdoc position at the Institute of Mathematics and Scientific
Computing, University of Graz. The position starts at anytime and it will
terminate after 6 years.
We expect a finished PhD study (or finished during the next months) in the
field of High Performance Computing for numerical solutions of partial
differential equations.
The candidate will be incorporated into our interdisciplinary special
research group (SFB) on "Mathematical Optimization and Applications in
Biomedical Sciences" as well as into our interdisciplinary graduate school on
"Numerical Simulations in Technical Sciences".
Further research activities are already planned and the candidate is welcome
to contribute with his/her own projects.
Please apply at the address given in the official announcement and contact
Prof.Dr. Gundolf Haase (gundolf.haase@uni-graz.at)for details and have look
at http://www.uni-graz.at/~haasegu/Jobs/Job_Offers.html

Postdoctoral position in computational neuroscience
Northwestern University
Evanston, IL
A postdoctoral position is available at Northwestern University to
develop computer simulations of deep brain stimulation. The project
involves a combination of computing, mathematical modeling, and
interpretation of clinical data. The computing component will be to
adapt a novel algorithm to a parallel computing cluster (see
http://dx.doi.org/10.1137/050643210). The modeling will involve the
development of a full morphology model from the basal ganglia region
which is able to reproduce periodic cycles associated with Parkinsons
disease, and to develop a model for a neurostimulator. All results
will be compared with interoperative data. The applicant will work
with a dynamic interdisciplinary team consisting of an applied
mathematician, physiologist, and a neurosurgeon. The successful
applicant will have experience in neurophysiology. Programming
experience in scientific computing on a parallel architecture is a
plus. The position is available to start now, actual start date is
negotiable.
One of the top-ranked universities in the country, Northwestern
University combines innovative teaching and pioneering research in a
highly collaborative environment that transcends traditional academic
boundaries. Northwestern provides students, faculty and staff with
exceptional opportunities for intellectual, personal, and professional
growth. Northwestern University is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative
Action Employer. Members of historically underrepresented groups are
strongly encouraged to apply.
Please send your CV, a cover letter describing your research
interests, and the names and email addresses of at least 2 references
to: David Chopp, Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics Dept.,
Northwestern University, 2145 Sheridan Rd., Evanston, IL 60208-3125.
