Abstract. This paper presents a summary of seven proposed research projects that are intended to solve healthcare system operations and treatment protocol problems. With the exception of the scheduling problem in section 1, all other projects described below are still in the planning stage. Although we are using a number of systems and operations research methodologies, fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, computing with words, and the theory of perceptions of Lotfi A. Zadeh have become the most important pillars of all the computational intelligence methodologies employed in these projects
