FUZZ-IEEE 2015 – IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems

August 2-5, 2015, Istanbul, Turkey

http://fuzzieee2015.org/
Proposals for Special Sessions, Tutorials and Panel Sessions are due in ONE week!!! 

The 2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2015), one of the leading international conferences in the field of fuzzy sets and systems, will be held in Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents.

The conference will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to interact with one another and discuss the state-of-the-art developments in the field. The topics of the conference will cover all – aspects of research and applications in fuzzy systems and soft computing, including but not limited to:

• Fuzzy data analysis, fuzzy clustering, classification and pattern recognition
• Type-2 fuzzy sets, computing with words and granular computing
• Fuzzy systems with big data and cloud computing, fuzzy analytics and visualization Fuzzy control, robotics, sensors, fuzzy hardware and architectures
• Fuzzy systems design and optimization
• Fuzzy decision analysis, multi-criteria decision making and decision support
• Fuzzy logic and its applications in Industrial Engineering
• Fuzzy modeling, identification and fault detection
• Fuzzy information processing, information extraction and fusion
• Fuzzy web engineering, information retrieval, text mining and social network analysis Knowledge discovery, learning, reasoning and knowledge representation
• Fuzzy image, speech and signal processing, vision and multimedia data
• Fuzzy databases and information retrieval
• Rough sets, imprecise probabilities, possibilities approaches
• Industrial, financial, and medical applications
• Fuzzy logic application in civil engineering, geographical information systems
• Fuzzy sets and soft computing in social sciences
• Linguistic summarization, natural language processing
• Soft computing in security systems
• Software and hardware applications
• Adaptive, hierarchical, evolutionary, neural and hybrid nature-inspired systems Mathematical foundations of fuzzy sets, fuzzy measures and fuzzy integrals

In addition to regular oral and poster presentations, the conference will include a full program of tutorials, workshops, panels, special sessions and keynote presentations. Full details of the submission process will be made available on the conference website. Conference proceedings will be included in IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Authors whose papers win the best paper awards of FUZZ-IEEE 2015 will be invited to submit the enhanced/extended versions of conference papers to IEEE TFS (IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems). Extended versions of selected papers will also be considered for possible publication in the special issues of several high impact journals.

Call for Special Sessions proposals

Proposals for Special Sessions are highly welcomed from distinguished researchers working in fuzzy sets, fuzzy systems and related areas. The proposals should include the contact information of the main proposer, the title of the proposed session and a brief description of the session topic. The web-based form can be used for this purpose. The proposers are encouraged to provide as much information as possible including a tentative list of expected submissions, biographies of the session chairs, etc.

A special session is expected to have 5-6 presentations. Papers submitted to the special sessions will undergo the same review procedure as that for regular papers. The session organizer should ensure that at least one of the authors for each paper will register for the conference and present the paper.

Researchers interested in organizing special sessions are invited to submit a formal proposal using the on-line form of the Special Sessions webpage.

Important Deadlines

Hope to see you in Istanbul,
