CALL FOR PAPERS AND SOFTWARE/HARDWARE DEMONSTRATIONS 4th Dortmund Fuzzy Days Theme: Computational Intelligence (Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks, Evolutionary Algorithms) 6. - 8. June 1994 +------------------------------------------------------------+ | DEADLINES FOR SUBMISSIONS: | | Papers: 25. February 1994 Exhibits: 30. April 1994 | +------------------------------------------------------------+ The industry is entering the era of "intelligent" systems, i.e. products and technologies performing in an "intelligent" way or able to take over some of the human intellectual functions. After the prodigious market success of fuzzy logic in Japan, there is now a similar phenomenon featuring neural networks and, most recently, the so-called genetic (or evolutionary) algorithms. Closely concerned with the interests of industry, the Dortmund conference on fuzzy logic is once again enhancing its scope and addresses all the three great paradigms. We welcome contributions from industry as well as those from science. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * fuzzy control * fuzzy decision support and optimization * fuzzy systems and hardware * fuzzy pattern recognition * neural networks * fuzzy neural networks * evolution strategies * genetic algorithms * evolutionary programming Please send first only an extended abstract of max. 3 pages by 25. February 1994 to the program committee chairman. You will be notified of acceptance or rejection by 18. March 1994. The final versions of accepted papers are intended to be published by Springer. The languages of the conference are german and english. Organization ------------ * University of Dortmund Lehrstuhl Informatik I Prof. Dr. B.
