General Information
The JOINT CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION SCIENCES consists of two international
conferences and one workshop. All interested attendees including
researchers, organizers, speakers, exhibitors, students and other
participants should register either in Plan A: 3rd International Conference
on Fuzzy Theory and Technology or Plan B: First International Conference on
Computer Theory & lnformatics and Workshop on Mobile Computing Svstems. Any
participants can attend all the keynote speeches, plenary sessions, all
parallel sessions and exhibits. The only difference is that all authors
registered in Plan A will participate in Lotfi A. Zadeh BestPaper
Competition. Plan B will have no best paper competition; at least for this
year. In addition, each plan will publish its own proceeding.

PUBLICATIONS
The conference publishes two Proceedings on Summary; One entitled "Third
International Conference on Fuzzy Theory and Technology" and the other
entitled "First International Conference on Computer Theory and
Informatics, and First Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems." Both
proceedings will be made available on November 13,1994.
A summary shall not exceed 4 pages of 10-point font, doublecolumn,
single-spaced text, (1 page minimum) with figures and tables
included. Any summary exceeding 4 pages will be charged $100 per
additional page. Three copies of the summary are required by September
10, 1994. It is very important to mark "plan A" or "plan B" on your
manuscript. The conference will make the choice for you if you forget
to do so. Final version of the full length paper must be submitted by
November 14, 1994. Four (4) copies of the full length paper shall be
prepared according to the "Information for Authors" appearing at the
back cover of Information Sciences, an International Journal (Elsevier
Publishing Co.). A full paper shall not exceed 20 pages including
figures and tables. All full papers will be reviewed by experts in
their respective fields. Revised papers will be due on April 15, 1995.
Accepted papers will appear in the hard-covered proceeding (book) with
uniform typesetting to be published by a publisher (there will be two
books published this year, one for each plan) or Information Sciences
Journal (INS journal now has three publications: Informatics and
Computer Science, Intelligent Systems, Applications). All fully
registered conference attendees will receive a copy of proceeding
(summary) on November 14, 1994; a free one-year subscription (paid by
this conference) of Information Sciences Journal -
Applications. Lastly, the right to purchase either or both
hard-covered, deluxe, professional books at 1/2 price. The Title of
the books are "Advances in Fuzzy Theory & Technology, Volume lll",
"Advances in Computer Science and Informatics, Volume 1."
