Wuhan University (http://w3.whu.edu.cn/en/) belongs too the most important universities of China with a rich tradition. The award is a prize of appreciation for the long scientific cooperation of ÚTIA and Sergej Čelikovský with china institutions and their experts in nonlinear dynamical systems.

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. The Workshop is a part of activites of the Research Centre Data – Algorithms – Decision Making, which was established in 2005 by Institute of Information Theory and Automation in collaboration with eight other academic and industry research groups under the support of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports.

Blind Source Separation

Blind Source Separation consists of recovering original signals from their mixtures when the mixing process is unknown. In biomedicine, namely in MEG and EEG signal processing, one of the most popular algorithms nowadays is SOBI (Second Order Blind Identification).
