    The Intelligent and Adaptive Systems research investigates the theoretical foundations and the algorithmic realization of information processing and reasoning in complex and dynamic environments given limited resources and incomplete or uncertain information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It encompasses three overlapping subthemes and their corresponding topics:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
