Thus, fuzzy techniques can re-use known algorithms and programs to solve new problems. Because of this relation, interval methods are widely used in fuzzy applications. There are many other relations between fuzzy and intervals. It is difficult to expect that we can come up with an exact value for this degree. Handling interval-valued functions requires a lot of interval computations.
Many researchers use interval techniques in fuzzy applications.
On the other hand, many interval researchers are not very familiar with problems and methods of fuzzy techniques. Right now, there is a great opportunity to narrow the gap between interval and fuzzy communities. The organizers of this joint conference realized that this disconnect harms both communities and prevents them from even more successful applications. Therefore, they suggested that we organize a special mini-track on interval computations and fuzzy techniques. This list does not have to be final, but it will be used to advertise the conference and its interval mini-track.
