Research papers are welcome in the following categories of presentation sessions.
In recent years, more and more papers were published that combine several of the known qualitative knowledge representation techniques in a combined algorithm. For example, a number of papers have lately been published on fuzzy neural networks. We therefore believe that it makes sense to bring the experts on and advocates of the various techniques together in one conference. Just as AI researchers have often considerable problems with processing precise quantitative information in their schemes, simulation researchers have traditionally had difficulties with processing qualitative and imprecisely known information. Neural networks and fuzzy systems are simply two of the vehicles that can be used to accomplish this.
