[Reliable Computing] FW: FUZZ-IEEE'09

Dear Friends, 

Traditionally, due to close relations between fuzzy and interval
computations, these conferences welcome interval sessions. 

I myself am most probably unable to attend in 2009, but if there is an
interest in organizing such a session, please submit a proposal to the
organizers by December 1. 

I am sending a copy of this message to Sergey Shary, he may be able to
attend this conference and thus may be able to organize this session. 

Good thing about these conferences is that they published pre-conference
proceedings in highly readable IEEE database to which many people have
access, so papers published in IEEE conferences are highly visible. 

At a post-SCAN'08 workshop, we have discussed this and decided that
interval participation in such conferences should be highly encouraged,
since this provides us with additional contacts, gives us extra
visibility, and helps establish good and productive collaborations.

CALL FOR PAPERS
17th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems FUZZ-IEEE 2009
Jeju Island, Korea
August 20-24, 2009
http://www.fuzz-ieee2009.org

The Annual IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, well known as
FUZZ-IEEE, is one of the premier international conferences in the field
of fuzzy
sets and systems. FUZZ-IEEE 2009 (17th in its series) will be held on
Jeju
Island, Korea, which is one of the most beautiful islands in Asia with a
historical wealth of cultural and tourist attractions. The conference
venue will
be at the newly built "ocean view" Jeju International Convention Center.
The
conference will cover the whole range of research and applications in
fuzzy
systems and soft computing, including but not limited to:

* Fuzzy control and robotics, sensors, fuzzy hardware, fuzzy
architectures
* Soft computing and hybrid systems - adaptive, hierarchical,
evolutionary,
  neural and nature-inspired systems
* Fuzzy image, speech and signal processing, vision and multimedia
* Fuzzy data analysis - clustering and classifiers, pattern recognition,
  bio-informatics
* Mathematical foundations of fuzzy systems
* Knowledge discovery, learning, reasoning, agents, knowledge
representation
* Fuzzy information processing - information extraction and retrieval,
fusion,
  text mining
* Computing with words granular computing, rough sets, fuzzy human
computer
  interaction
* Fuzzy systems and the internet - semantic web, ontologies, searching,
networks
  and routing, intrusion detection
* Fuzzy optimization and design, decision analysis and support
* Fuzzy systems modeling, identification, fault detection
* Industrial, financial, and medical applications

In addition to regular oral and poster presentations, the conference
will
include a full program of tutorials, specialist workshops and panel
sessions
together with keynote talks from several well known leaders in the
field.
Submissions for oral and poster presentation are invited from
researchers,
practitioners, and students worldwide. Proposals for Special Sessions
are
highly welcomed. Each proposal should give a description of the session
topic
and the names of the contributors plus their paper titles. Papers
submitted to
special sessions will go through the normal reviewing process. Proposals
for
Tutorials are also highly welcomed. An outline for each tutorial should
be
submitted and any pre-requisites for the intended audience.

Further details of the submission process will be posted on the
conference
website in the near future.
