     INNOVATIVE TRENDS IN MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF IMPRECISION


                     FUZZ-IEEE 2004
        2004 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems

Nowadays, demands imposed on mathematical tools for modelling
imprecision are becoming ever more stringent: they need to have a 
clearly distinguished and rich semantics, have to be efficient to use, 
and be flexible enough to lend themselves to incorporation in hybrid 
systems.

Fuzzy sets and rough sets, by virtue of their long-standing theoretical
and applied tradition, by their high cross-disciplinary content as well
as by their nicely complementary paradigmatic roles, are especially
well-suited to take up a leading role and to set a standard in the
process.

In this session, by focussing on extensions of either model on one hand,
and on hybridizations and comparisons between them on the other hand, we
aim at boosting the interaction and mutual understanding between these
two major players in the field, and at providing the necessary stimulus
for their further development. We therefore welcome original contributions
pertaining to, but not limited to, the following topics:

    * interval-valued and intuitionistic fuzzy sets
    * type 2 fuzzy sets
    * generalizations of rough sets
    * fuzzy-rough hybridization

he session is organized in the scope of the IEEE Task Force on Extensions
to Type-1 Fuzzy sets.

Prospective authors are invited to submit an extended abstract with
minimum 4 and maximum 6 pages by email. Please follow
the formatting instructions posted at the FUZZ-IEEE website. Submissions
are due  January, 15. For more details, contact the session organizers at
