The Royal Academy of Economics and Financial Sciences of Spain (RACEF), the Parliament of Catalunya and the University of Barcelona hosted between 15th and July 17th the first international meeting that the Association for Modelling and Simulation in Enterprises (AMSE) held in Barcelona, the MS10Barcelona, where experts from a dozen countries shared ideas and experiences on methods, techniques, applications and projects based on fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, the theory of uncertainty, chaos theory, new quantitative methods and soft computing.

"This is the alternative scientific models using linear logic and statistics that have enabled the development of many engineering applications ranging from the latest generation of autonomous vehicles, improving diagnosis in diseases with similar symptoms, optimize marketing and advertising campaigns, a constantly changing world where the statistic is of little, or even tweak the predictions of hearings in the media", said the president of the organizing committee, Anna Maria Gil.

The appointment was attended by prominent Azerbaijani scientist Korkmaz Imanov, who spoke in the Parliament a new model for ensuring sustainable development, and the Polish Janusz Kacprzyk, Correspondent Member of the RACEF, who spoke on the decision-making processes and their support systems. The sessions also involved the President of the RACEF and major architects of fuzzy logic, Jaime Gil Aluja, who spoke about his studies in this new logic and theory of uncertainty, and the rector of the University of Barcelona Academic also RACEF, Dídac Ramírez. The President of the Parliament of Catalonia, Ernest Benach, presided over one of the sessions.

Founded in 1981, the AMSE promotes the discussion and dissemination of new scientific techniques to address complex problems for which the use of theoretical models do not offer a practical solution.
