Claudio Moraga was born in Chile. He received the B.Sc. in Electronics from the Catholic University of ValparaÃso, Chile, in 1961. With a Scholarship of the Fullbright Foundation he obtained his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from MIT, Cambridge, USA in 1962. His Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering received Claudio Moraga on January 1972 from the Technical University Federico Santa Maria, Valparaiso Chile.
Claudio Moraga served teaching and research positions at the Catholic University and at the Technical University Federico Santa Maria in ValparaÃso, Chile. Of this last university he became Academic Vice President. With a Research Fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation he moved in 1974 to the University of Dortmund, Germany, where he remained as researcher. In 1985 he became Professor of Computer Science at the University of Bremen, Germany and returned to Dortmund in 1986 to a Professorship in the area of Theory of Automata.
In 2002 Claudio Moraga officially retired from the University of Dortmund, but continued to participate in running Tempus-Projects with Universities of Serbia and Macedonia, as well as in a binational research project with colleagues of the Technical University Federico Santa MarÃa in ValparaÃso, Chile.

and a PhD in Mathematics for the University of Oviedo. He has worked as assistant professor in the department
of Statistics and O.R. of the University of Oviedo and he has developed several projects as statistician in
the Statistical Consultancy of the University of Oviedo (1998) and the Natural Resources and Zoning Institute
(Indurot, since 2002).
He has published more than 50 works in journals, books and conferences, co-authored one book, and participated in
one european COST action, 5 national research projects and several contracts for the Principado de Asturias. He
has co-organized invited sessions in various conferences, and the 2nd International Conference on Soft Methods in
Probabilility and Statistics (2004).
In February, 2007 he has joined the European Centre for Soft Computing as associated research in the laboratory on
Intelligent Data Analysis and Graphical Models.
His current research lines are: parametric estimation and hypothesis testing involving fuzzy data, regression and
correlation analysis for fuzzy data (linear models and non-parametric models), fuzzy representation of real random
variables with applications to the graphical and inferential analysis of real distributions, clustering analisys of
fuzzy and crisp data based on variability decomposition, and statistical applications in forestry and environmental studies.

Center Ulm, he became a Ph.D. student at the University of Magdeburg,
Germany, and received his Ph.D. in computer science in 2000. He was
awarded the Ph.D. Prize 2000 and the Research Prize 2002 of the faculty
of computer science of the University of Magdeburg, Germany. In 2006 he
received the venia legendi for computer science, again from the
University of Magdeburg, Germany.
He published about 90 papers in national and international conferences, workshops, books, and journals, co-authored two books (one on graphical models and one on neuro-fuzzy systems) and co-edited two conference proceedings (IDA 2003 and GfKl 2005) as well as a special journal issue (Int. Journal of Approximate Reasoning). He is also well known in the data mining community for a large number of free implementations of data mining algorithms, including frequent item set mining, decision tree induction, artificial neural network training, Bayes classifier induction, regression, graphical model learning etc.
His current research interests are very diverse and include molecular and graph mining, (approximate) frequent item set mining, graphical models for diagnosis and planning, learning graphical models from data, prototype-based classification and clustering and other intelligent data analysis methods.

Professor Lawrence O. Hall Ph.D. in 1986 in Computer Science from Florida State University.
My research interests lie in hybrid reasoning systems, machine learning, data mining, pattern recognition and integrating AI into medical image processing. The exploitation of imprecision with the use of fuzzy logic in pattern recognition, AI and learning is a research theme. Parallel learning systems are another area of interest. I've written a number of papers which have appeared in journals, conferences and books. I co-edited the 1994 joint North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS), IFIS and NASA conference proceedings and the 1998 proceedings. I am a fellow of the IEEE. I'm a past president of NAFIPS. Also, associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, International Journal of Intelligent Data Analysis, and The Handbook of Fuzzy Logic. I'm the former Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, Part B , please consider submitting. I was the 2006-07 President of the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society , and am presently a member of the IEEE PSPB and EAB
