Three perspectives on intelligent systems
The keynote programme brought together researchers working on neural networks, fuzzy modelling, high performance computing, and intelligent systems. The biographical sketches below preserve the profiles published for the 2018 conference.
John MacIntyre
University of Sunderland, United Kingdom
John MacIntyre is Professor, Dean of the Faculty of Applied Sciences, and Pro Vice Chancellor at the University of Sunderland. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce, a Chartered Engineer, and a Member of the British Computer Society.
He received a BSc with First Class Honours in Combined Science (Computer Science and Physiology) from the University of Sunderland in 1993, and a PhD in Neural Networks and Condition Monitoring from the University of Sunderland in 1996. His research covers the application of intelligent systems, artificial intelligence, and adaptive computing techniques, including neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, neuro fuzzy systems, case based reasoning, and hybrid systems, to real world problems.
Shun Feng Su
National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan
Shun Feng Su received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University in 1983, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, in 1989 and 1991, respectively.
He is a chair professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei, Taiwan. He is an IEEE Fellow and a CACS Fellow. He has published more than 160 refereed journal and conference papers in the areas of robotics, intelligent control, fuzzy systems, neural networks, and non derivative optimization. His current research interests include neural networks, fuzzy modelling, machine learning, virtual reality simulation, and intelligent transportation systems.
Maozhen Li
Brunel University London, United Kingdom
Maozhen Li received his PhD in Software Engineering from the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 1997. He did postdoctoral research in the Department of Computer Science at Cardiff University, United Kingdom, from 1999 to 2002. He is a full professor in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at Brunel University London.
His research interests include high performance computing technologies, grid computing, cloud computing, big data analytics, and intelligent systems. He has over 120 scientific publications in these areas, including three books, and has served over 30 IEEE conferences. He was Chair of the Technical Program Committee of FSKD 2016, FSKD 2014, and FSKD 2012. He is on the editorial boards of several journals, including Cloud Computing Advances, Systems and Applications, and Computing and Informatics.
His collaborative research with Tongji University on intelligent transportation systems was nominated by the Institution of Engineering and Technology for its Innovation Award in November 2015. He is a Fellow of the British Computer Society.
