Observat ons of uncertainty in measured data with time improves forecasting capability in a wide range of fields in engineering. This book provides an introduction to uncertainty forecasting based on fuzzy time series. It details descriptive, modeling, and forecasting methods for fuzzy time series. Coverage places emphasis on forecasting based on fuzzy random processes as well as forecasting involving fuzzy neuronal networks.



Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Bernd Möller (*1941) studied civil engineering. From 1994 -1996 he was professor for Numerical Methods and Computer Science in Engineering at the University of Braunschweig, and from 1996 - 2006 professor for Solid and Structural Mechanics at the University of Technology in Dresden, Germany. Professor Möller has been retired since 2006.

Dr.-Ing. Uwe Reuter (*1979) studied civil engineering. From 2003 - 2007 he was research associate at the Institute of Statics and Dynamics of Structures at the University of Technology in Dresden, Germany. Today he is head of the Computing Center at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the University of Technology in Dresden.
