Konkurz na vývoj a konstrukci jednoúčelového měřicího zařízení Konkurz bude uzavřen 5.3. 2010 ve 24 hodin. Měřící zařízení založené na dvou sklopných ramenech v úhlech -90 až 90 stupňů. Jedno rameno navíc rotuje okolo svislé osy v rozmezí -90 až 90 stupňů. Součástí je také otočný stolek otočný v rozmezí -180 až 180 stupňů. Podrobnosti zadání naleznete zde.

The program of the Workshop will present selected results of theoretical and applied research in the fields connected with the development of models of uncertain knowledge and their applications to computer aided decision making. Global aim is to contribute to development of a theoretical, algorithmic and software background for solution of real life problems in complex situations based on different sources of knowledge and data.
