    Description

    This seminar introduces to urban computing. We focus on resilience and information systems engineering, whereby we make us of fuzzy logic, computing with words, and perceptual computing.

    In a kick-off, student groups will select a project to address with design-science research. Your team will bridge theory with practice by developing a resilient artefact, culminating in a final presentation to share insights, data, and findings.
    Training objectives

    The seminar explores urban computing with fuzzy logic, computing with words and perceptions. You will gain an understanding by working in groups on a clearly defined assignment. It requires:

    • A mid-term project proposal and a final presentation, and
    • A comprehensive final report detailing the group's findings.
    Condition of access
    • Condition of access: Knowledge in “Computing with Words” and/or “Fuzzy Sets and Systems”
    • Prerequisites: Students are expected to have knowledge in “Computing with Words” and/or “Fuzzy Sets and Systems”.
