FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
FLINS'98
Third International FLINS Workshop on
Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent Technologies
for Nuclear Science and Industry
Organized by SCK•CEN
September 14-16, 1998
The Astrid Park Plaza Hotel, Antwerp, Belgium.
Abstract submission deadline: December
15, 1997
Notification of acceptance: February 15,

Introduction.
FLINS, an acronym for Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent technologies in Nuclear
Science, is a recent established international
research forum aiming to advance the theory and applications of fuzzy logic
and novel intelligent technologies in nuclear science
and industry.
Following FLINS'94 and FLINS'96, the first and second international
workshops on this topic, FLINS'98 aims to bring
together scientists and researchers and to introduce the principles of
intelligent systems and soft computing such as fuzzy logic
(FL), neural network (NN), genetic algorithms (GA) and any combinations of
FL, NN, and GA, knowledge-based expert
systems and complex problem-solving techniques within nuclear industry and
related research fields.
FLINS'98 offers a unique international forum to present and discuss
techniques that are new and useful for nuclear science and
industry.
