Koczy

László T. Kóczy received the M.Sc., M.Phil., and Ph.D. degrees from the Technical University of Budapest (BME), Budapest, Hungary, and the D.Sc. degree from the Hungarian Academy of Science, Budapest, Hungary, in 1975, 1976, 1977, and 1998, respectively.,He was with BME until 2001, and in 2002 with Szechenyi Istvan University, Győr, Hungary. From 2002 to 2011, he was the Dean of Engineering, and since 2013, he has been the President of the University Research Council and the University Ph.D. Council. Since 2012, he has been a member of the Hungarian Accreditation Committee (for higher education), and the elected Chair of the Engineering and Computer Science subcommittee, a member of the Professors and Ph.D. subcommittee, and a member of the National Doctoral Council. He was a Visiting Professor in Australia, Japan, South Korea, Austria, Italy, etc. He was the author or coauthor of more than 580 articles, most of those being refereed papers and several text books on the subject. He has close to 2600 independent citations (mtmt.hu) and his Hirsch-index is 35 in Google Scholar (based on  5200 citations there). His main results are that he introduced the concept of rule interpolation in sparse fuzzy models, and hierarchical interpolative fuzzy systems, fuzzy Hough transform, and also fuzzy signatures and fuzzy situational maps, further fuzzy signature state machines among others. His research interests include applications of CI for telecommunication, transportation and logistics, vehicles and mobile robots, control, information retrieval, fuzzy systems, evolutionary algorithms, and neural networks as well as applications.

Kacprzyk

Janusz Kacprzyk graduated from Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, with M.Sc. in automatic control and computer science, obtained in 1977 Ph.D. in systems analysis and in 1991 D.Sc. in computer science. He is Professor of Computer Science at the Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, and at WIT – Warsaw School of Information Technology, and Professor of Automatic Control at PIAP – Industrial Institute of Automation and Measurements, and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cracow University of Technology. He is Honorary Foreign Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Yli Normal University, Xinjiang, China, and Visiting Scientist at RIKEN Brain Research Institute, Tokyo, Japan. He is Full Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Member of Academia Eueopaea (Informatics), Member of European Academy of Sciences and arts (Technical Sciences), Foreign Member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Economic and Financial Sciences (RACEF), and Foreign Member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. He is Fellow of IEEE, IFSA, ECCAI and MICAI. He has been a frequent visiting professor in the USA, Italy, UK, Mexico, China. His main research interests include the use of modern computation computational and artificial intelligence tools, notably fuzzy logic, in decisions, optimization, control, data analysis and data mining, with applications in databases, ICT, mobile robotics, etc.
