The Team

We are more than 50 researchers from various specialties gathered around one goal: to be a reference in the development of research on Fuzzy Logic.

Led by two  Emeritus Professors  Carlos Alberto Nunes Cosenza and Francisco Antonio Moraes de Accioli Doria , researchers with diverse specialties are guided in developing research with applications in decision-making hierarchy , separation, relationship, interpretation , optimization, processing and
solution of problems of high complexity.

The COPPE COSENZA Model for spatial location of economic activities, has been exploited in many applications where supply and demand are collated elements.

History

Studies on Fuzzy Logic in Production Engineering Program of COPPE / UFRJ date from the 70’s with the creation of the first studies locational and economic impacts developed by Professor Carlos Alberto Nunes Cosenza. The evolution of these studies, with the passing of Professor by the University of Cambridge, added mathematical complexity in the formation of locational models advanced today described formally in applications MODEL COPPE-COSENZA industrial location, which emerges as an effective model hierarchy with applications in medicine, architecture, robotics, selection of investment alternatives, identifying potential regional meet better demand profiles, facilitating the analysis of projects, identification of demand profiles for selection of decision-makers, instrument applied in different doctoral theses (work and studies contained in LAB FUZZY).

For over three decades, Production Engineering Program offers masters and doctoral students various courses about Fuzzy Logic, attracting large number of researchers who wish to supplement their research with the use of fuzzy logic.

Projects of great global significance have been developed by researchers at the LAB FUZZY within partnerships with other institutions and laboratories of COPPE / UFRJ.
