Call For Papers - CFP

emphasized the development of mathematical aspects of fuzzy sets by

bringing together researchers in fuzzy sets and established mathematicians

whose work outside the fuzzy setting can provide direction for further

research. The seminar is deliberately kept small and intimate so that informal

critical discussion remains central. There are no parallel sessions, and during

the week there are several round tables to discuss open problems and

promising directions for further work.

LINZ 2010 will be the 31st seminar carrying on this tradition and is devoted to

the theme “Lattice-valued logic and its applications”. The goal of the seminar is

to present and discuss recent advances of mathematical fuzzy logic

(understood in the broader framework of lattice-valued logics) and to

concentrate on its applications in various areas of computer science,

linguistics, and philosophy. Accordingly, the topics of the Seminar will include

but not be limited to:

Lattice-based logic

? Predicate, higher order, and modal fuzzy logics

? Semantic, proof theoretical, and model theoretical approaches

? Complexity considerations

Applications of that logic to

? Knowledge representation

? Reasoning with imperfect information

? Hedges and intensifiers

? Theories of vagueness

? Artificial intelligence

The "Linz" tradition has these key features: the number of participants of the

Linz Seminars is usually bounded above by 40 with broad international

representation and a mix of pure and applied interests; there are no parallel

sessions so that all participants focus on each presentation and fully engage

each topic; and there is ample time for discussion of each presentation, with

follow-up round tables for discussion of open problems and issues raised in the

talks.

Petr Cintula and Lawrence N. Stout will act as Chairpersons of the Program

Committee, the following invited speakers have already confirmed their

participation:

? Radim Belohlavek (Palacký University, Olomouc, Czech Republic)

? Christian Fermüller (Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria)

? Nikolaos Galatos (University of Denver, CO, USA)

? Joseph Y. Halpern (Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA)

? George Metcalfe (University of Bern, Switzerland)
