Focused Sessions
Proposals for special sessions concentrating on fundamentals, algorithms, and innovative applications of fuzzy sets soft computing are welcome. Submission of proposals should include a short description of the session, its relevance to the conference, and a list of potential contributors. Focused sessions will be open to all participants. Organizers of Focused Sessions will be responsible for a reviewing process.
Best Paper Awards
Two awards will be given to authors of outstanding papers, one of them for the best student paper award. To qualify for the competition, a student must be the principal (first) author pf the paper and he/she should present the paper. The awardees will be decided based on the manuscript as well as on the presentation.
