Conference Objectives:

   Rough set theory, proposed by Zdzislaw Pawlak (1926-2006) in 1982, is a model of approximate reasoning. The main idea is based on the indiscernibility relation that describes indistinguishability of objects. Concepts are represented by lower and upper approximations. In applications, rough set methodology focuses on approximate representation of knowledge derivable from data. It leads to significant results in many areas including, for example, data mining, machine learning, finance, industry, multimedia, medicine, and most recently bioinformatics. 

The main objective of this workshop  is to provide a forum for mathematician, engineers, academicians, scientists and researchers to present the result of their research activities in the field of rough sets and their applications. The primary focus of the workshop is to create an effective medium for institutions and students to share ideas, innovations and problem solving techniques. On this basis, the Egyptian Rough Sets working group with the faculty of Computer and Information,  Cairo University is calling for papers to be submitted to the 3rd  workshop on Rough Sets and Emerging Intelligent Systems Paradigms which  addressing theoretical, empirical and policy issues related to this theme, we would appreciate to receive  your paper  by 15 June, 2007.

Hybrid vehicles combine the technology of both Internal Combustion (IC) engine and electric engine in such a way as to take advantage of the benefits provided by these power sources while compensating for each others short comings resulting in highly efficient driving performance. A major controlling factor is the efficient torque split between the IC engine and the electric motor. To achieve this, a fuzzy logic based controller has been developed in this project. The controller takes into account the accelerator pedal position and battery state of charge as the controlling factors. Membership functions were developed and proper if-then rules were written. The working of the controller was checked using optimum values generated using Advisor. Assembly code for Motorola microcontrollers was generated using FUDGE. A naïve support vector machine was developed utilizing the if-then conditions written for fuzzy logic controller. The developed machine was able to predict like the fuzzy system

Abstract

In the last decade, Computational intelligence CI approaches have been increasingly used in the drug discovery process. Many algorithms were proposed to design new drugs or predict the activity of drugs that have never been synthesized “virtual screening”. In this project we used new computational intelligence approach which is Artificial Immune System ( AIS ) and applied it in De-novo drug  design with some modifications in the originally proposed work to find novel drugs for a given antigen . A molecular visualization tool was developed to render the generated molecules with different rendering models. Also, we designed a new algorithm in the field of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) to predict the biological activity of drugs using AIS and genetic algorithm GA and also it was used in the  features selection phase along side with a special type of neural network called Generalized Regression Neural Network GRNN for model building, the final result was compared the results obtained from AIS and GA.In this work we experienced many techniques in complex design problems using evolutionary algorithms and in manipulating and optimizing 3D molecules structures and many tools in data analysis like principle component analysis PCA and other statistical tools.  Results of this work show that AIS is a promising approach in CI which gave good results in De-novo drug design and exceeded the GA in QSAR features selection. Also, GRNN gives a better prediction than many previous methods and it was more efficient than traditional feed forward neural network.
