Proposal of the Special Session at  the IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI) , Beijing , July 6-11,  2014

Title of the Special Session:
Applications and Properties of Fuzzy Reasoning and
Calculus

Objective and motivation of the session:

Since several  decades fuzzy reasoning has shown its applicability in decision making and optimization.
On the other hand the development of  mathematical aspects of the fuzzy set theory has been mostly directed to
convex fuzzy numbers and its particular case – the L-R numbers. However, the fuzzy reasoning and calculus based on the classical concepts is diminishing its role with each year because of the some  disadvantages, e.g.
multiple operations on  convex fuzzy numbers are leading to a large growth of the fuzziness, and depend on the order of the operations due to the lack of the distributive law. Hence new approaches could be required as well as new research area.
Hence  the Gradual  Element in fuzzy theory has recently  appeared additional to Ordered Fuzzy Numbers.

The aim of this Special Session is bringing together researchers in fuzzy reasoning and  calculus,  and their applications, as well as  to  provide directions for further research in these fields.  The  philosophy of the special session should  be  to keep a chance  for  informal critical discussion.

Topis of interest:

1.Fuzzy reasoning and its properties, including  symbolic        reasoning
2.Fuzzy inference systems and controllers
3.Learning in fuzzy systems
4.Aggregation and other operations, and their  properties
5. Applications of fuzzy reasoning and calculus in the social     live, medicine, finance and manufacturing
