International Discourse on
FUZZY LOGIC AND
THE MANAGEMENT OF COMPLEXITY (FLAMOC'96)
Sydney, 15-18 January, 1996
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
FLAMOC'96 is an International Discourse targeted on the growing use of
Fuzzy Logic when dealing with Complexity in various fields of applications
(Industry, Business, Finance, Management, Ecology, Medicine, Social
Science, etc.).
FLAMOC'96 intends to contribute insight and foresight regarding creation of
innovative and practically efficient ways of implementing Fuzzy Logic in
problem situations impregnated with Uncertainty, Intricacy, and Hazard.
In the age of an increasing Technological, Environmental and Social
Complexity, FLAMOC'96 emphasises the synergy between Fuzzy Logic and
Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, Non-linear Simulation Techniques,
Fractal and Chaos Theory not only in fuzzy engineering practice but also in
the search for better understanding the changes around and in us, learning
how to handle paradoxes and risk, how to avoid conflicts and look for
collaboration and consensus, how to improve our personal and organizational
achievements by integrating many diverse and contradictory requirements
into coherent, complimentary, and useful outputs.
FLAMOC'96 provides a rich tutorial program and an excellent opportunity to
meet and talk with world-known experts in Fuzzy Logic and Soft Computing.
FLAMOC'96 is the only one of its kind discourse that intents to explore the
diversity of practical and theoretical applications of Fuzzy Logic in
managing real life Complexity, using Fuzzy Thinking as a bridge between
science and the humanities.
THE PROGRAM
Keynote speaker: Prof. Lotfi Zadeh
Invited speakers: Prof. George Klir
Prof. Michio Sugeno
Three basic streams build the conceptual framework of this discourse:
- Soft Computing Technology (Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks and Genetic
Algorithms):
with applications in Process Control, Intelligent Manufacturing Systems,
Artificial Intelligence (Expert Systems, Decision Support Systems,
Knowledge Based Leaning Systems, Robotics), Fuzzy Mathematics, Data
Analysis, Linguistics, Biomedical Engineering, Medical Informatics.
- Fuzzy Logic in Organising Systems:
with applications in Social Science (Consensus Seeking, Conflict Analysis,
Human Decision Making, Public Participation, Qualitative Reasoning,
Education), Philosophy (PostAristotelean Logic, Postmodernism), Psychology,
Economics (Stock Market and Financial Analysis).
- Approximate Reasoning in Environmental Applications:
Cleaner Production, Environmental Management, Mass Load Analysis, Risk
Management, Sustainable Development Practice, Ecology, Ecocybernetics.
Participants of FLAMOC'96 are free to suggest other topics that might be of
interest to attendees.
FLAMOC'96 will include open discussions on selected by participants issues
of Soft Computing and Fuzzy Set Theory, System Science and Sustainable
Development, Chaos and Complexity, as well as
introductory and advanced tutorials
hands-on demonstrations
international exhibition of fuzzy products
lectures
visual summaries (poster sessions)
multi-paper sessions.
FLAMOC'96 provides a special day for business people and managers ("FLAMOC
Business Day") with presentations delivered by leading experts and
tutorials on how effectively to apply Fuzzy Logic in business, marketing,
finance, and management.
Participants are invited to submit proposals for presentation in a form
that is most appropriate to the subject matter they would cover (e.g.
paper, poster presentation, tutorial, lecture, computer demonstration,
discussion, exhibit of a fuzzy product, performance on fuzzy music system,
etc.)
THE ATTENDEES
FLAMOC'96 aimed at system and complexity scientists and researchers,
control engineers, social scientists, managers in business, industry and
government, academics, conflict resolution practitioners and facilitators,
bio-medical engineers, environmental managers and environmentalists, fuzzy
soft- and hardware specialists, information science professionals and
students.
