The 11th World Congress of International Fuzzy Systems Association (IFSA 2005) will be held in Beijing China, July 28-31, 2005. As a major biennial event of IFSA, the Congress aims at bringing together scholars and practitioners from academia and industries to present the latest development in theories and applications of fuzzy logic and soft computing. The scientific program will include keynote/plenary talks and technical parallel sessions that address important issues of interest in the fields. The Congress will serve as a platform not only for knowledge sharing, but also for stimulating new ideas in broadening and deepening theoretical and applied explorations of fuzzy logic and soft computing. Notably, IFSA2005 will take place in the year of IFSA’s 20th anniversary, which may well be an event of memory and celebration in the course of its evolution.

This IFSA World Congress is to be the first-time-ever in Mainland China. China is a dynamic nation with a rapid economic growth and huge market. The conference site is Beijing, which has been the capital of China for about five hundred years, and is now one of the largest international cities in the world. Nowadays, as the cultural, educational and Hi-tech center of the nation, Beijing possesses a large number of world-class conference facilities, communication infrastructures and hotels, and has successfully hosted many important international conferences. In addition, Beijing is an ideal place for sightseeing. Itsrich cultures and historical attractions such as the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, and Temple of Heaven will provide participants with unique experiences for social activities.

We solicit papers on theoretical issues and their applications related to fuzzy logic and soft computing. Suggested topics include but are not limited t

Mathematical Foundations of Fuzzy Set Theory Fuzzy Logic and Approximate Reasoning Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms and Soft Computing Fuzzy Control, Robots and Intelligent Techniques Expert Systems and Computational Intelligence Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Rough Sets and Evidence Theory Uncertainty in Decision Sciences and Optimization Signal/Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Fuzzy Databases and Information Retrieval Hybrid Systems

To reward students research, and to motivate communication and interaction among students, IFSA2005 will be offering 5 awards to students. In order to qualify as a student paper, the student author (there may be co-authors) must be the first author, currently or must have been a student during the past two years, and the student must be responsible for at least 50% of the material in the paper.

If you want to apply student awards, please:

- Check "Student Paper Box" in paper submission page when you submit the paper;

- Mail us a letter by your advisor or department chair that you are currently or have been a student during the past two years, and a letter signed yourself that you are responsible for at least 50% of the material in the paper at the following address.
