CFP Special Session on Inter-Relation Between Interval and Fuzzy Techniques at FUZZ-IEEE 2010 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, July 18-23, 2010 http://www.wcci2010.org
OBJECTIVES AND TOPICS: The relation between fuzzy and interval techniques is well known; e.g., due to the fact that a fuzzy number can be represented as a nested family of intervals (alpha-cuts), level-by-level interval techniques are often used to process fuzzy data. At present, researchers in fuzzy data processing mainly used interval techniques originally designed for non-fuzzy applications, techniques which are often taken from textbooks and are, therefore, already outperformed by more recent and more efficient methods. One of the main objectives of the proposed special session is to make the fuzzy community at-large better acquainted with the latest, most efficient interval techniques, especially with techniques specifically developed for solving fuzzy-related problems. Another objective is to combine fuzzy and interval techniques, so that we will be able to use the combined techniques in (frequent) practical situations where both types of uncertainty are present: for example, when some quantities are known with interval uncertainty (e.g., coming from measurements), while other quantities are known with fuzzy uncertainty (coming from expert estimates). DEADLINES: We would like to invite those researchers interested in interval computations and their relation to fuzzy techniques to contribute to this special session. The deadlines of papers for the session are the same as the FUZZ-IEEE regular papers. These papers will go through the normal reviewing process. * Deadline for Paper Submission is January 31, 2010. * Notification of Acceptance/rejection is March 15, 2010. * Deadline for Camera-ready papers is May 2, 2010. Vladik P.S. Many thanks to those who already volunteered to submit to this section. So far, we have Benjamin Bedregal (Brazil), Gracaliz Pereira Dimuro (Brazil), Vladik Kreinovich, Hung T. Nguyen, and Karen Villaverde (USA). If you have not yet informed me about your interest, please let me know by email to [email protected], it would be nice to keep track of who plans to submit to this session and who already submitted. _______________________________________________ uai mailing list [email protected] https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
