Dear Friends,

 

It is our genuine pleasure to let you know about the upcoming 6th

WORLD CONFERENCE ON SOFT COMPUTING dedicated to 50th Anniversary

of Fuzzy Logic and Its Applications and 95th Anniversary Birthday

of Lotfi A. Zadeh that will take place in Berkeley, CA, May 22-25,

2016. Please visit www.wconsc-2016.org

 

The goal is to bring together scientists, engineers, students, and

practitioners from all over the world working in fuzzy logic and

related areas to present their recent research accomplishments,

and to celebrate 50 years of fuzzy logic as well as 95th birthday

of Lotfi A. Zadeh.

 

We would like to encourage you to SUBMIT the paper and ATTEND the

Conference. The submission website:

Special Sessions

 

Proposals for special sessions focusing on fundamental theories

and innovative applications of soft computing are welcome.

Submission of proposals should include a short description of the

session, its relevance to the conference, and a list of potential

contributors. Special sessions will be open to all participants.

Organizers of Special Sessions will be responsible for a reviewing

process.

 

Student Participation

 

Student participation is highly encouraged, be it submitting and

presenting a paper, attending the conference, or volunteering at

the conference. The Program Committee will select the best student

papers prior to the conference. These papers will be presented at

a special session during the conference. The student author of the

best paper (based on both the written submission and the oral

presentation, to be selected during this session) will receive an

award.

 

See you in Berkeley in May.
