ISDA’09 is hosted by the University of Pisa, one of the oldest and prestigious universities in Italy, financially sponsored by the Machine Intelligence Research Labs (MIR Labs) and technically sponsored by IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society, International Fuzzy Systems Association, European Neural Network Society, European Society for Fuzzy Logic and Technology, and The World Federation on Soft Computing. ISDA’09 brings together researchers, engineers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry working in all interdisciplinary areas of computational intelligence and system engineering to share their experience, and to exchange and cross-fertilize their ideas. The aim of ISDA’09 is to serve as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research, development and implementations of intelligent systems, intelligent technologies and useful applications in these two fields. We received a total of 413 submissions from 46 countries. Each paper was reviewed by at least two reviewers and most papers had three or more reviews. Papers submitted to the special sessions and workshops were peer-reviewed with the same criteria used for regular papers. Based on the outcome of the review process, 274 papers were accepted for inclusion in the conference proceedings. We are sure that the diversity of the topics dealt with in these papers and the quality of their contents, and the international stature of the five keynote speakers, Piero Bonissone, Carlos A. Coello Coello, Hani Hagras, Hisao Ishibuchi and Witold Pedrycz, make for an exciting conference. Finally, as proof of the quality of the program, we would like to point out that seven well-known international journals, namely Applied Soft Computing, Soft Computing, Evolutionary Intelligence, International Journal of Hybrid Intelligent Systems, International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, International Journal of Computational Intelligence and Applications, and Neural Network World, have accepted to consider extended versions of significant conference contributions for possible inclusion in special issues. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the workshop and special session organizers, the advisory board, the program committee and the numerous referees who helped us evaluate the papers and make ISDA’09 a very successful scientific event. We hope that you will enjoy the program. General Co-Chairs Beatrice Lazzerini, Lakhmi Jain, Ajith Abraham Program Committee Co-Chairs Francesco Marcelloni, Francisco Herrera, Vincenzo Loia 2 Conference venue The conference will be held in Pisa, Italy at Palazzo dei Congressi. The venue for the conference will be Palazzo dei Congressi, located in the centre of the city, at a walking distance from the heart of Pisa. It stands in one of the most attractive parts of the city and, as it is only two kilometres far from the airport (Pisa airport is very close to downtown), the railway station and the exit on the Firenze - Pisa highway, it is easy to reach by all forms of transport. A walk of the same distance along the River Arno and through the fascinating Medieval town centre takes you to the Leaning Tower in the Piazza dei Miracoli. Equipment in the building is technologically of the first order and can satisfy every congress need. About Pisa Pisa, located in western Tuscany, is known throughout the world for its famous Leaning Tower, but there is so much more to Pisa than just this striking landmark. Pisa is a university city with a population of nearly 100,000 (and with 40,000 students). It is situated in Tuscany, close to the coast just 80 km from Florence, 15 km from Lucca and 150 km from Siena. The historic centre of Pisa is roughly in the shape of a quadrilateral surrounded by 12th-century walls, with sides measuring 1.5 km. The Arno river crosses the city from east to west, cutting it into two parts named Tramontana (north) and Mezzogiorno (south). History of Pisa The ecclesiastical city of Pisa began life as a seaside settlement around 3,000 years ago and was first laid out in the mid-eleventh century. An important naval base in Roman times and a flourishing maritime republic until the 13th century, Pisa is now a town renowned for its art and architectural treasures. Pisa is crammed full of wonderful, historical monuments and buildings dating back many hundreds of years and much of Pisa has retained its medieval appearance. In the north-west of Pisa there is an immense green lawn on which four impressive buildings stand in gleaming white marble. These imposing structures are the enormous, breathtaking Duomo (cathedral) - built almost 1,000 years ago, the cathedral's bell tower - better known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the circular Battistero (Baptistery) - the largest of its kind in the whole of Italy, and the Camposanto - also known as the Holy Field, without doubt one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world. This area of Pisa is known as the Campo dei Miracoli or the Piazza dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) and these remarkable Pisan buildings combine Moorish, Gothic and Romanesque architectural features. The world-famous leaning tower, the cathedral and baptistery make it one of Italy's favourite tourist destinations. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is undoubtedly one of the most famous and beloved monuments in the world. From 1173 (when its construction started) up to the present, the Tower has been the object of very special attention, both because of its dramatic lean, and its beauty. In 1990, the structure was deemed to be leaning too far for tourists to climb safely and it was 3 closed to the public. Happily, Italy's legendary Leaning Tower of Pisa re-opened to the public on December 15th, 2004, and is now standing just a little straighter. Besides the tower, Pisa has other significant sights. Highlights are the Duomo, the Cathedral of Pisa, which is famed for its Romanesque panels depicting the life of Christ, the Museo of Palazzo Reale and the Museo Nazionale di San Matteo that contains many other dramatic examples of Romanesque and Gothic art. University of Pisa Pisa is also known as Galileo Galilei birthplace and for its prestigious university, which has become one of Italy's top schools. The University of Pisa was officially established in 1343, although a number of scholars claim its origin dates back to the 11th century. The papal bull 'In supremae dignitatis', granted by Pope Clement VI on 3 September 1343, recognized the 'Studium' of Pisa as a 'Studium Generale'; an institution of further education founded or confirmed by a universal authority, the Papacy or Empire. Pisa was one of the first European universities that could boast this papal attestation, which guaranteed the universal, legal value of its educational qualifications. With the birth of the Kingdom of Italy, the University of Pisa became one of the new state's most prestigious cultural institutions. Between the second half of the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century the following prestigious lecturers taught at Pisa: the lawyers Francesco Carrara and Francesco Buonamici, philologists Domenico Comparetti and Giovanni D'Ancona, historians Pasquale Villari, Gioacchino Volpe and Luigi Russo, philosopher Giovanni Gentile, economist Giuseppe Toniolo and mathematicians Ulisse Dini and Antonio Pacinotti. The first European institute of Historical Linguistics was founded in Pisa in 1890. After the second world war the University of Pisa returned to the avant-garde in many fields of knowledge. To the faculties of Engineering and Pharmacy, established pre-war, were added Economics, Foreign Languages and Literature and Politics. In 1967 the 'Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e Perfezionamento S. Anna' was founded which, together with 'La Scuola Normale', formed a highly prestigious learning and teaching centre. Today the University of Pisa boasts eleven faculties and fifty-seven departments, with high level research centres in the sectors

  • Distributism Debate
    The Distributism Debate The Distributism Debate Dane J. Weber Donald P. Goodman III Eds. GP Goretti Publications Dozenal numeration is a system of thinking of numbers in twelves, rather than tens. Twelve is much more versatile, having four even divisors—2, 3, 4, and 6—as opposed to only two for ten. This means that such hatefulness as “0.333. ” for 1/3 and “0.1666. ” for 1/6 are things of the past, replaced by easy “0;4” (four twelfths) and “0;2” (two twelfths). In dozenal, counting goes “one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, elv, dozen; dozen one, dozen two, dozen three, dozen four, dozen five, dozen six, dozen seven, dozen eight, dozen nine, dozen ten, dozen elv, two dozen, two dozen one. ” It’s written as such: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, E, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1X, 1E, 20, 21... Dozenal counting is at once much more efficient and much easier than decimal counting, and takes only a little bit of time to get used to. Further information can be had from the dozenal societies (http:// www.dozenal.org), as well as in many other places on the Internet. © 2006 (11E2) Dane J. Weber and Donald P.

  • Discussion Guide About the Book the Canonization of Pope John XXIII and the Fiftieth Anni­ Versary of Vatican II Call for a Fresh Look at This Remarkable Man
    DISCUSSION GUIDE About the Book The canonization of Pope John XXIII and the fiftieth anni­ versary of Vatican II call for a fresh look at this remarkable man. Now highly regarded Vatican II historian Massimo Faggioli offers a rich and insightful portrait. His sources include the complete edition of the private diaries of the future John XXIII, published recently in ten volumes, much of which is unavailable in English. Faggioli’s use of this trea­ sure of personal notes of the future pope means this biogra­ phy offers a more complete and nuanced understanding of Angelo Roncalli than is available anywhere else in English today. The result is both unforgettable and inspiring. About the Author Massimo Faggioli is assistant professor of theology at the Uni­ versity of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. He has written ex­ tensively on modern Church his­ tory and on Vatican II. He is the author of Vatican II: The Battle for Meaning (Paulist, 2012) and True Reform: Liturgy and Eccle- siology in Sacrosanctum Con- cilium (Liturgical Press, 2012). 2 Discussion Guide Introduction 1. The author writes of “the ‘shadow canonization’ effect.” What about Pope John’s life and ministry brought about his prior “canonization” in popular opinion? Can you think of other saints for whom this is true? Are there people for whom official canonization has not yet caught up to a real, prior canonization in the minds and hearts of everyday people? 2. The author offers Kenneth Woodward’s list of reasons why “papal causes [for canonization] present special problems.” What do you think of this list? Is the canoni­ zation of a pope a bad idea? 3.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI AT THE INAUGURATION OF THE ACADEMIC YEAR AT THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF THE SACRED HEART Friday, 25 November 2005 Rector Magnificent, Distinguished Presidents and Professors, Doctors and Auxiliaries, Dear Students, I am very pleased to visit the Rome campus of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart to officially inaugurate the Academic Year 2005-2006. My thoughts turn at this moment to the other branches of the Athenaeum: to the main one in Milan, near the beautiful Basilica of St Ambrose, and to the ones in Brescia, Piacenza-Cremona and Campobasso. I would like the whole family of the "Catholic University" to feel united beneath God's gaze at this moment, at the beginning of the new stretch on its journey of commitment to science and training. With us here in spirit are Fr Gemelli and all the other men and women who forged the history of the Athenaeum with their enlightened dedication. We also feel the Popes close to us, from Benedict XV to John Paul II, who always had special ties with this University. My Visit today, in fact, is in continuity with the Visit my venerable Predecessor made five years ago to this seat of learning and for the same occasion. I address a cordial greeting to Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, President of the Toniolo Institute, and to the Rector Magnificent, Prof. Lorenzo Ornaghi, and I thank them both for their courteous words to me on behalf of all those present. I extend my greeting with respect to the other distinguished religious and civil figures who have 2 gathered here, particularly Sen.

  • Economics and Moral Sciences
    SALESIAN PONTIFICAL UNIVERSITY Economics and Moral Sciences Lecture by Antonio Fazio, Governor of the Bank of Italy, on the occasion of the award of a doctorate honoris causa in Moral and Social Theology Rome, 13 December 2003 “Can ye not discern the signs of the times?” The biblical exhortation refers to the story of salvation and to spiritual matters. It certainly also refers and is applicable to the history of mankind and the political, social and economic conditions that, in any era, profoundly influence the lives of men and shape their course. History is continuously in the making and we know that, despite regressions, it follows a logic. Knowledge of that logic and, more important, of its actual existence can only come from a lofty vision or observation point. Immersed in everyday life and responsible for our part of it, we are often unable, because too close to events, to understand its ultimate meaning and direction, and the flow of history. 1. Man is a political animal who, by natural inclination and need, lives in a community, in ever broader social environments, from family, to city, to country.1 Society lives by relationships, rules and values that are the expression of that aggregation and achieve its purpose. The economy is an essential ingredient of every society. It has always been important and determined many other aspects of community life. In fact, this is true for every individual as well. The economy shapes and profoundly influences social relations. In more complex societies it determines their organization. While it is far from my intention to stay within the historical confines of materialism, there can be no doubt that Marx and Engels had a clear vision of certain aspects of society in their time and in the future.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will afind good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Scheda Giuseppe Toniolo
    Giuseppe Toniolo (1845-1918) 1 La famiglia d’origine Giuseppe Toniolo nasce il 7 marzo 1845 a Treviso. Il padre lavora presso l’amministrazione austro-ungarica del Lombardo-Veneto. La madre, di origine veneziana, discende da una famiglia di provenienza armena. A lei, Toniolo deve il primo incontro con la fede e la conoscenza delle preghiere; dal padre invece eredita il valore della dimensione religiosa del lavoro e l’interesse per le tematiche sociali e politiche. Sulla sua prima formazione influiscono varie figure, soprattutto donne: oltre alla madre, la nonna Emilia, la zia materna Lucia Alessandri, donna colta e amante della letteratura ed Emilia Arrigoni, madre dei fratelli. Schiratti. Altra importante figura di riferimento è monsignor Luigi Dalla Vecchia, rettore del Collegio Santa Caterina di Venezia, a cui si iscrive all’età di nove anni. Monsignor Dalla Vecchia sarà il suo direttore spirituale e rappresenterà per Toniolo un modello di fede vissuta, un Giuseppe Toniolo nel 1878 amico fedele, una guida sulle scelte esistenziali di fondo, a cominciare dal discernimento vocazionale che lo porta al matrimonio. La vita familiare: una scelta vocazionale Nel 1878 sposa Maria Schiratti, appartenente a una famiglia che Toniolo frequentava da tempo. Maria è per lui una compagna capace di spronarlo e sostenerlo nella sua carriera, mai gelosa della sua attività, ma sempre pronta ad eclissarsi per quella corte di amici, discepoli e ammiratori che circondavano lo studioso, rassegnata magari ad avere un marito “in mezzadria” come lei stessa diceva scherzando. Con lei vivrà un’esperienza ricca di tenerezza e di preghiera. La sua armonia interiore si manifesta infatti anche in famiglia.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See LETTER SENT BY CARDINAL SECRETARY OF STATE PIETRO PAROLIN ON BEHALF OF THE HOLY FATHER TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF MILAN FOR THE CONFERENCE FOR THE CENTENARY OF THE DEATH OF BLESSED GIUSEPPE TONIOLO To His Excellency the Reverend Msgr. Mario DELPINI Archbishop of Milan President of the G. Toniolo Institute of Higher Studies Your Most Reverend Excellency, The Holy Father Francis has learned that on the occasion of the centenary of the death of Blessed Giuseppe Toniolo, a conference is being held to honour the figure of this exemplary father and spouse, professor of economics and economics, and model of lay sanctity, at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan. The initiative is worthy to highlight not only the historical merits, but also the current relevance of the Blessed Toniolo, drawing from his testimony and his thought new inspiration for the social and political commitment which Catholics cannot ignore if they wish to be faithful to the Gospel. Indeed the professor, of Venetian origin but Pisan by adoption, remains in this regard a “teacher” and, in a certain sense, a “prophet”. Although many aspects are inevitably dated, he also has much to say for our time. The years in which he lived, between 1845 and 1918, were marked by great changes. In particular, the process of industrialization gave a new face to society, producing the phenomenon of the proletariat, in which, as Leo XIII wrote, “so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the teeming masses of the labouring poor a yoke little better than that of slavery itself” (Encyclical Letter Rerum Novarum, 2).
