Among the main achievements of IRCU are the following:
The publication of 25 Reference Books and 200 Articles.
Foundation of the "lnternational Journal of Intelligent and robotic Systems: Theory and Applications" (JlRSTA) published by Kluwer Scientific Publishers (Boston/ Dordrecht) since 1988. Prof. Tzafestas is the Editor-in-Chief.
Setting up of an International Book Series on microprocessor and Intelligent Based Systems Engineering published by Kluwer under the coordinating editorship of Prof. Tzafestas. Ten volumes have already been published in the series.
The development of several important software systems for:
Incremental fuzzy expert control (lFEC Software)
Medical diagnosis and therapy (BlOEXP, ESID, HEMEDES)
Equipment and automotive engine fault detection and repair (ElVGEXP, FIESTAS)
Simulation and prototyping of robotic cells using flexible Petri nets (FLEXNET)
Knowledge-based FMS design and implementation using the blackboard architecture (BBARCH)
Post-optimization of the generalized network optimal flow problem (GENET software) for transportation planning and other CIM applications.
The organization of many National and International Conferences, Workshops and Seminars that helped in the wide dissemination of current research results in the fields of computing, systems science, expert systems, robotics, and CIM to the respective scientific community.
