  • Abstract
    This paper wants to provoke the people showing a new research field of application of Soft Computing Techniques. In this case we propose Fuzzy Inference Systems. This type of approach has never been applied to problems of International affairs or to Intelligence and Security. This research is proposed by a research Centre on Fuzzy Logic born at Link Campus University in Rome*. The problem we face is connected with what happened in Mediterranean sea under the denomination of “Arab Spring”. Our idea is to build a Fuzzy Inference System, which not only describe but is also able to monitor what it is happening in an area that is complex for the connection among many countries which are different for cultures, religions and economic factors. This new instrument can help either International Organizations and local authorities to have a more clear idea of what is really happening. The final goal is always the maintain peace and to work for a well-timed diplomatic intervention to avoid that the situation crashes in a war. We have started with Lybian situation to get to a more general painting of any country in the same area.
