Monitoring - early warning
In our view "monitoring" is the task of checking measurable variables deviations and generation of alarms for supporting decision processes (i.e. decision support instead of decision making). In this research topic we focus on monitoring tools, based on inference systems (sometimes also called knowledge-based systems or expert system), designed for supporting human operators in uncertain contexts.

Classical Inference Systems (non-fuzzy) are computerized systems that employ human knowledge on a given domain, captured in software, to solve problems from that specific domain. When we extend the classical inference to the fuzzy logic domain we have the added value of being able to represent imprecision and to perform approximate reasoning within uncertain environments, thus creating flexible and adaptable systems. This is the research scope in this topic.
