-------------------------CALL FOR PAPERS------------------------------ SPECIAL SESSION ON INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY SETS AND RELATED CONCEPTS
http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~ccorneli/english/eusflat/eusflat.html EUSFLAT 2003 3rd International Conference of the European Society for Fuzzy Logic and Technology September 10-12, 2002 Zittau, Germany Recent years have seen a steadily growing interest in intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). Introduced in 1983 by K.T. Atanassov (Bulgaria), IFSs address the fundamental two-sidedness of knowledge: they basically enrich Zadeh's fuzzy set theory with a notion of indeterminacy. While in the latter, membership degrees, identifying the degree to which an object satisfies a given property, are taken to be exact, in the former extra information in the guise of a non-membership degree is permitted to address a commonplace feature of uncertainty. In this way, a whole spectrum of knowledge not accessible to fuzzy sets can be expressed. Unsurprisingly, their applicability in such various domains as medicine, approximate reasoning, expert systems, etc. continues to inspire researchers to consider and incorporate them fruitfully into their work. Realizing that IFS theory hardly stands in isolation and that a good deal of hard work risks being unnecessarily duplicated, an important objective of this session is also to strengthen ties with related research domains, such as * interval-valued fuzzy sets * interval computation * neutrosophic logic and sets * graded four-valued logic and bilattices * vague sets * evidence sets * fuzzy rough sets * twofold fuzzy sets * ... We therefore invite authors in any of these domains to submit papers describing theoretical or practical results pertaining to, but not limited to, the following areas: * fundamentals of IFSs * interrelationships of IFSs and other models * many-valued logics * evidence and possibility theory * applications: approximate reasoning, database technology, medical diagnosis, preference modelling, ... If you are interested in submitting a paper to this special session, please contact the session organizers for more details. ========================================================= Chris Cornelis e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage : http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~ccorneli Fund for Scientific Research-Flanders Fuzziness and Uncertainty Modelling Research Unit Internet address: http://fuzzy.rug.ac.be Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science Ghent University Krijgslaan 281 (S9) tel. : +32 (0)9/264.47.72 B-9000 Ghent (Belgium) fax. : +32 (0)9/264.49.95
