a.      Linguistic Decision analysis

b.      Linguistic expression domains to represent preferences

c.      Linguistic hesitant for modeling preference 

d.      Multi-criteria and group decision making

e.      Selection and consensus models with linguistic information

f.      Linguistic decision making in:

i.      Engineering evaluation

ii.     Resource management and transfer

iii.    Industry applications

iv.     Sensory evaluation

v.      Evaluation and recommendation

vi.     Investments applications and risk assessment, …

2.      Special Session on Computing with Words

a.      Fuzzy Set Models of Words

b.      Linguistic and Psychological Aspects of CWW

c.      New Paradigms of CWW

d.      CWW in Humanities and Soft Sciences

f.      Knowledge Mining and Knowledge Representation for CWW

g.      Validation of CWW Paradigms

h.      Real Life Applications of CWW

i.      CWW and Soft Computing Techniques (Neural Networks, Evolutionary Algorithms, Probabilistic Reasoning, Agent Based Systems)

j.      Type-2 Fuzzy Sets and CWW
