“A
Decentralization Method For Modeling The Multiple Levels Of Organization And

My plan for
the presentation is to explain why useful modeling and simulation of living
systems is so challenging. I will explain our multi-model approach to the
problem, and I will describe our object-oriented, event-driven, agent-based
model of the liver. I'll explain how we can change resolution. I will
share new results that show validation against experimental data.

“ Machine
Intelligence, Granular Computing and Data Mining”
Abstract:
Emergence of data mining and knowledge discovery from pattern recognition point
of view is illustrated. Significance of integrating various soft computing
tools for efficient learning is described. Role of granular computing in data
mining is given more emphasis. Two examples, demonstrating integrations of
fuzzy sets, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms and rough sets for
efficient classification, rule generation and rule evaluation, and for granular
case generation in case based reasoning problems, are provided along with their
application specific merits on real life data. The significance of rough-fuzzy
granulation for both reducing the computation time and improving the
performance is explained. The talk concludes explaining the relation of
rough-fuzzy case generation with the recently emerged computational theory of perception
(CTP) and their applications in Web mining problems.
