Electronic equipment and aerospace products are manufactured in the city. Menlo College and a Stanford Univ. research institute are there. 2 Uninc. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 2002 Enrique H. Ruspini, Ph.D. has been elected to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Not to be confused with the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE). The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE (pronounced as eye-triple-e (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. ) Board of Directors for 2003-2004 as Director, Division X (Systems and Control). Dr. Ruspini is a principal scientist in the Artificial Intelligence Center (AIC AIC Association des Infermières Canadiennes. ) at SRI International, an independent research institute in Silicon Valley. The AIC, founded in 1966, is one of the world's major centers of research in artificial intelligence. The IEEE (http://www.ieee.org) is the world's largest technical professional society with more than 380,000 members in approximately 150 countries. Through its members, the IEEE is a leading authority on areas ranging from aerospace, computers and telecommunications to biomedicine biomedicine /bio·med·i·cine/ (bi?o-med´i-sin) clinical medicine based on the principles of the natural sciences (biology, biochemistry, etc.).biomed´ical bi·o·med·i·cine n. 1. , electric power and consumer electronics. Dr. Ruspini is recognized as one the earliest contributors to the development of fuzzy-set theory and its applications, and has made significant contributions to the understanding of the foundations of fuzzy logic fuzzy logic, a multivalued (as opposed to binary) logic developed to deal with imprecise or vague data. Classical logic holds that everything can be expressed in binary terms: 0 or 1, black or white, yes or no; in terms of Boolean algebra, everything is in one set or and approximate-reasoning methods. His recent research focuses on the application of fuzzy logic techniques to the development of systems for planning and intelligent control of teams of autonomous robots, information retrieval, qualitative description of complex objects, and knowledge discovery in large databases. Dr. Ruspini, who lectures extensively in the U.S. and abroad and is the author of more than 100 research papers, is an IEEE Fellow, a First Fellow of the International Fuzzy Systems Association, past president of the IEEE Neural Networks Society, chair of its Standards Committee, and a member of the Management and Transnational Committees of the IEEE Technical Activities Board. He is a founding member of the North American North American named after North America. North American blastomycosis see North American blastomycosis. North American cattle tick see boophilusannulatus. Fuzzy Information Processing Society and recipient of its King-Sun Fu Award.
