[NSteele]

ICSC                                                 ISFL'95
                        Call for Papers
            First ICSC International Symposium on
                       FUZZY LOGIC

      To be held at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH)
                            Zurich, Switzerland
                            May 26 and 27, 1995



I.     PURPOSE OF THE CONFERENCE

       The purpose of this conference is to assist communication of 
       research in the field of Fuzzy Logic and its technological 
       applications.  Fuzzy Logic is a scientific revolution that 
       has been waiting to happen for decades.  Research in Fuzzy 
       Technologies has reched a degree where industrial application 
       is possible.  This is reflected by numerous projects in the 
       USA, Korea and Japan, where the leading corporations have 
       invested billions in utilising fuzzy logic in technological 
       innovations.  International activities show that by the year 
       2000 numerous practical realizations will be influenced by 
       Fuzzy Systems.  It is thus timely to organize a symposium 
       aimed at bringing together both existing and potential workers 
       in the field.

II.    TOPICS

       The following topics are envisaged:

*      Basic concepts such as various kinds of Fuzzy Sets, Fuzzy 
       Relations, Possibility Theory

*      Mathematical Aspects such as non-classical logics, Category 
       Theory, Algebra, Topology, Chaos Theory

*      Methodology and applications for example in Artificial 
       Intelligence, Expert Systems, Patten Recognition, Clustering, 
       Fuzzy Control, Game Theory, Mathematical Programming,
       Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, etc.

*      Implementation, for example in Engineering, Process Control, 
       Production, Medicine.

IV.    ORGANISING COMMITTEE

       The ISFL`95 is a joint operation of the Swiss Federal Institute 
       of Technology (ETH), Zurich and International Computer Science 
       Conventions (ICSC).


V.     SUBMISSIONS OF MANUSCRIPTS   

       Prospective authors are requested to send two copies of their 
       abstracts of 500 words to the ICSC Secretariat for review 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 appendix that will be read at the discretion of the 
       International Scientific Committee.

       The abstract should also include:

       *    Title of proposed paper
       *    Author's names, affiliations, addresses
       *    Name of author to contact for correspondence
       *    Fax number of contact author
       *    Name of topic which best describes the paper (max. 5 keywords)

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


VI.    CONFERENCE LANGUAGE

       The Conference language is English.  Simultaneous interpretation will 
       not be available.

VII.   DEADLINES AND REGISTRATION

       It is the intention of the organizers to have the conference proceedings 
       avialable for the delegates.  Consequently the deadlines are to be 
       strictly respected:

       *    Submission of Abstracts ....................  August 31, 1994
       *    Notification of Acceptance .................  November 1, 1994
       *    Delivery of Full Papers ....................  February 1, 1995
       *    Early registrations (Sfrs. 700.-) ..........  February 1, 1995
       *    Late registration (Sfrs. 850.-)

       Full registration includes attendance to all sessions, conference 
       dinner and conference proceedings.  Full-time students who have a valid
       student ID-card, may register at a reduced rate pf Sfrs. 400.- to all 
       technical sessions.  Student registration however does not include the
       banquet or proceedings.  Extra banquet tickets will be sold for 
       accompanying persons and students.  The proceedings can be purchased 
       separately through the ICSC-Secretariat.
