Conference/ Symposium Theme:

Norbert Wiener made contributions across several disciplines during his lifetime. Many of these were immediately relevant, and influenced theories and production during his day. Others were long-term, and only in recent years has it been possible to test their relevance. Some of the topics include but are not limited to:

•         Fuzzy sets and modelling

•         Information theory

•         Philosophy

•         Life sciences

•         Interval computation

•         Brownian motion

•         Analysis under uncertainty

•         Cybernetics and its applications in business, education and society.

•         Social impact of robotic, cybernetic and other technologies on society

•         Control theory to science, technology and society

These topics will appear across four conference tracks: Peer-review, practitioner, student and North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS)
