Soft Computing is a partnership of fuzzy logic, neurocomputing and probabilistic reasoning, with the latter subsuming genetic algorithms, chaotic systems, belief networks and parts of learning theory. Within soft computing, the principal contribution of fuzzy logic is a methodology for exploiting the tolerance for imprecision to achieve tractability, robustness, low solution cost and better rapport with reality. There will be excellent research talks, panels, and invited plenaries by Michio Sugeno, Burhan Turksen, and Lotfi Zadeh. The conference program will also include focused special sessions and general papers. Contributed papers will be reviewed based on content relevant to the theme of the conference.
Electronic submission is highly encouraged.
