T2FUZZ 2013

2013 IEEE Symposium on Advances in Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2013 IEEE International Symposium on Advances to Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems (T2FUZZ 2013)
The 2013 IEEE International Symposium on Advances to Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems (T2FUZZ 2013) will be held within the 2013 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI 2013).
Type-1 fuzzy sets have, for more than forty years, laid the basis for a successful method of modelling uncertainty, vagueness and imprecision. Type-1 Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLSs) have several real world applications and particularly in consumer products and control applications. It has been argued that the traditional type-1 FLS which uses crisp type-1 fuzzy sets cannot handle high levels of uncertainties appropriately. Nevertheless it has been shown that a type-2 FLS using type-2 fuzzy sets can handle higher level of uncertainties better and thus produce a better performance. As such, type-2 FLSs are considered to have the potential to overcome the limitations of type-1 FLSs and produce a new generation of fuzzy systems with improved performance for many applications which require handling high levels of uncertainty.
Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems is a strong emerging area of research in the fuzzy logic domain. The last few years have witnessed many advances in the theory and practice of type-2 fuzzy logic systems.  
T2FUZZ 2013 will aim to provide a leading international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields of type-2 fuzzy logic systems to report on the recent advances in type-2 fuzzy logic systems theory and applications. The symposium will aim also to feature various educational and demo sessions to increase the benefits to new comers to the type-2 fuzzy logic domain. The symposium also we will feature various panel and keynote speeches.
