At the Center of Excellence on Soft Computing and Intelligent Information Processing, we are of the basic belief that intelligent systems and knowledge  engineering can and will play a fundamental role in the betterment of human lives. We are committed to advance the state of the art in these paradigms, to address the open and difficult problems of humanity, to build closer ties with various related industries, and to train well qualified experts. Being placed among the most elite research universities in the country, we believe that our team at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad is well positioned for this task.

What is soft computing: Soft computing is an umbrella term that includes various integral paradigms of intelligent systems such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, along with other tools of intelligent information processing. Soft computing emphasizes the synergism among these paradigms of intelligence in solving the many open and difficult world problems of humanity today.
