ISFL'97 Second International ICSC Symposium on Fuzzy Logic and Applications
Februrary 12 - 14, 1997, Zurich, Switzerland

To be held at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH)

Announcement and Call for Papers

I. SPONSORS

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland and ICSC, International Computer Science Conventions, Canada/Switzerland

II. PURPOSE OF THE CONFERENCE

This conference is the successor of the highly successful meeting held in Zurich in 1995 (ISFL'95) and is intended to provide a forum for the discussion of new developments in fuzzy logic and its applications. An invitation to participate is extended both to those who took part in ISFL'95 and to others working in this field.

Applications of fuzzy logic have played a significant role in industry, notably in the field of process and plant control, especially in applications where accurate modelling is difficult.

The organisers hope that contributions will come not only from this field, but also from newer applications areas, perhaps in business, financial planning management, damage assessment, security, and so on.

III. TOPICS

Contributions are sought in areas based on the list below, which is indicative only. Contributions from new application areas will be particularly welcome.

• Basic concepts such as various kinds of Fuzzy Sets, Fuzzy Relations, Possibility Theory
• Neuro-Fuzzy Systems and Learning
• Fuzzy Decision Analysis
• Image Analysis with Fuzzy Techniques
• Mathematical Aspects such as non-classical logics, Cate Theory, Algebra, Topology, Chaos Theory
• Modeling, Identification, Control
• Robotics
• Fuzzy Reasoning, Methodology and Applications, for example in Artificial Intelligence, Expert Systems, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition, Cluster Analysis, Game Theory, Mathematical Programming, Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms and Evolutionary Computing
• Implementation, for example in
  • Engineering
  • Process Control
  • Production
  • Medicine
  • Design
  • Damage Assessment
  • Security
  • Business
  • Finance
  • Management

VI. PUBLICATION OF PAPERS

All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, published by ICSC Aca-demic Press. In addition, some selected papers may also be considered for journal publication.

VII. SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS

Prospective authors are requested to send two copies of their abstracts of 500 words for re-view by the International Scientific Committee. All abstracts must be written in English, starting with a succinct statement of the problem, the results achieved, their significance and a comparison with previous work.

If authors believe that more details are necessary to substantiate the main claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked ap-pendix that will be read at the discretion of the International Scientific Committee.

The abstract should also include:

• Title of proposed paper
• Authors names, affiliations, addresses
• Name of author to contact for correspondence
• E-mail address and fax number of contact author
• Name of topic which best describes the paper (max. 5 keywords)

Contributions are welcome from those working in industry and having experience in the topics of this conference as well as from academics.

The conference language is English.

Abstracts may be submitted either by electronic mail (ASCII text), fax or mail (2 copies) to either one of the following addresses:
