Extenics,  an interdisciplinary branch of learning involves mathematics, engineering and  philosophy, is dedicated to exploring the theory and method of solving the  contradictory problems intelligently, and appling to computer, design,  management, control, detecting and other fields. More information about the  evaluation of Extenics, its monographs, application achievement, development  history and research survey, can be found on home page of Extenics http://web.gdut.edu.cn/~Extenics/i.htm.

In 1983,  Professor Cai Wen published the paper "The Extension Set and  Non-compatible Problems" in journal Science Exploration, which marked the establishment  of Extenics. The Extenics research team has extended from one person to a great  research ranks at home and abroad in 20 years and established a theoretical  system called Extension Theory. It has formed the specific extension innovation  methods, carried out the applied research in information, machinery, management  and other fields, and developed test software of extension strategy generation  system utility technology, extension data mining method etc, called all  together Extension Engineering. Then, Extension theory, extension methods and  extension engineering constituted a new subject called Extenics. Strictly  speaking, Extenics is a scientific discipline using formalization model to  study the possibility of extension, the regulation of extension innovation and  to solve contradictory problems.

Since  1993, 18 groups of research scholars were recruited from many provinces of China to study Extenics in Guangzhou. Now they have become the research  backbones of Extenics.

In  recent years, the scholars from the U.S.,  Japan, Venezuela and  other countries began to research the Extenics. In order to let more overseas  scholars participate in the research work of Extenics, and use it in various  fields, and become Extenics disseminator and researchers in their countries,  Professor Cai Wen will recruits foreign scholars and international students  online. The scholars majoring in mathematics, computer and data mining,  artificial intelligence, design and other fields are welcome to sign up. As the  first group of national scholars in extension theory and its application, Prof.  Florentin Smarandache from University of New Mexico, has come to China on May,  18, 2012. He came to prepare for a research and cooperation program for three  months with the Research Institute of Extension Engineering and Innovational  Methods, Guangdong University of Technology. We are now recruiting the second  group of national scholars. Everyone interested in it will be welcome. The  details are listed as follows:

Learning  Content:

1. To introduce the basic ideas, theory and methods of       extension set online;

2. To guide the research methods and carry out a       research project;

3. To participate in the existing Extenics project       research or extension software development.

1. To become Extenics advocate and organizer in one’s       county; to be a member of the Preparatory Committee of "International       Extenics Association" which will be set up in 2013; to participate in       the Preparatory Committee of the “The first session of the International       Extenics Symposium and the General Assembly of Extenics 30th anniversary       Celebration (EXTENICS 2013)” held in China in 2013.

2. Professor Cai Wen and other scholars of Extenics       will help students participate in extension theory or its application       research. You are be required to write a thesis published or complete a       result applied after the expiration of collaborative research.

3. To be a member of the Preparatory Committee of       International “Extension Journal”.

4. To be a researcher on extension theory or a leader       of Extension theory applied in some fields in your country.
