***************************************************************************

The FUZZ-IEEE 2001 conference will be held in Melbourne, Australia, one
of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the Southern Hemisphere.
Melbourne is also one of the safest, healthiest, and cleanest cities in
the world, and is Australia's pre-eminent centre for arts and culture, 
education, fine food and dining and exciting shopping experiences.

The conference will cover a broad range of research topics related to 
fuzzy logic and soft computing, including but not limited to:

T1: Pattern recognition and image processing: supervised and unsupervised
    learning, classifier design and integration, signal/image processing
    and analysis, computer vision, multimedia applications.

T2: Electronic and robotic systems: fuzzy logic in robotics, automation,
    and other industrial applications, fuzzy hardware design and
    implementation.

T3: Soft computing and hybrid systems: intelligent information systems,
    database systems, data mining, intelligent agents, neuro-fuzzy 
    systems, Internet computing.

T4: Control systems: fuzzy control theory and applications.

T5: Mathematics: foundations of fuzzy logic, approximate reasoning,
    evolutionary computation.

Authors are invited to submit 6 copies of full papers for review. Papers
should be written in English, not exceeding 7 single-sided pages on A4 or
letter-size paper, in one-column format with 1-inch margin on all four
sides, in Times or a similar font of 10 points or larger.  Faxed or
e-mailed papers will not be accepted.  The first page of each paper must
include the following information: 
  - title of the paper,
  - names(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s),
  - abstract of the paper,
  - maximum 5 keywords,
  - technical area of the paper (T1, T2, T3, T4  or T5, choose one only), 
  - name, postal address, phone and fax numbers and e-mail address of the
    contact author.
