                       CALL FOR PAPERS
                       ***************


     Papers  are  invited for a special  volume  entitled  "FUZZY
DECISION  MAKING,"   edited by Drs. Freerk A. Lootsma,  Panos  M.
Pardalos,  and  Evangelos Triantaphyllou.   This volume  will  be
published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.

     In the last few years there has been a large amount  of work
in   areas  which  combines developments in  fuzzy   theory   and
decision  making.  Candidate topics include, but are not  limited
to, fuzzy multi-attribute  decision  making, estimation of  fuzzy
data   for  decision  making, evaluation of  fuzzy  methods,  and
applications of fuzzy decision making.

     The   purpose   of this book is to cover   a   spectrum   of
recent  results  in the theory of fuzzy decision making  and  its
applications in modern engineering and scientific problems.

     Manuscripts  should  be no more than   30   double   spaced,
single-sided  pages  including all text figures  and  references.
Papers  must not have been published or currently  submitted  for
publication elsewhere.  Manuscripts should have a title page that
includes   the   title  of  the  paper;  full name,  affiliation,
postal  address,  electronic address, telephone  number  and  fax
number    of  all  authors; the paper should include an  abstract
and  a list of keywords that identify the central issues  of  the
manuscript's content.
