CALL FOR PAPERS
WILF 2005
Sixth International Workshop on Fuzzy Logic
Crema (Milan), Italy -- September 15-17, 2005


WILF 2005, this year at its 6th edition, is an international workshop
on the theoretical, experimental, and applied fuzzy and, more generally,
soft-computing techniques and systems which brings together researchers
and developers from both Academia and Industry to report on the
latest scientific and theoretical advances, to discuss and debate
major issues and to demonstrate state-of-the-art systems.

The scientific program will include, besides two invited talks,
contributed papers that will be presented in plenary oral or poster
sessions. Original and unpublished papers on WILF 2005 main research
areas and related topics are welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. General techniques and algorithms:
- Fuzzy Sets;
- Rough Sets;
- Possibility Theory;
- Fuzzy Logic;
- Fuzzy Systems;
- Neuro-Fuzzy Systems;
- Representation of Vague and Imprecise Knowledge;
- Fuzzy Evolutionary Algorithms;
- Fuzzy Pattern Recognition;
- Fuzzy Data Fusion.
2. Applications:
- Bioinformatics;
- Broadcasting;
- Control;
- Communications;
- Information Retrieval;
- Intelligent Resource Management;
- Knowledge Management;
- Medical;
- Opto-mechatronics;
- Remote Sensing;
- Robotics;
- Semantic Web
- Speech Analysis;
- Television;
- Telepresence;
- Virtual Reality.
3. Implementations:
- Analog and Digital Circuits and Systems;
- Architectures and VLSI Hardware;
- Programmable Processors;
- Commercial Software.

Two special sessions on "Soft Computing in Image Processing" and
"Bioinformatics" are planned. A selection of papers will be peer reviewed
for originality, technical contents and relevance and will be considered for
publication in two special issues of journals.

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: 29 May 2005
Notification of acceptance: 20 June 2005
Camera ready papers due: 15 July 2005
Workshop: 15 September 2005

Submission:

Manuscripts, prepared according to the Springer LNCS format
(instructions downloadable from
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/instruct/typeinst.pdf) may not be
longer than 6 pages, including a cover sheet stating
(1) Paper title, (2) Keyword(s), (3) Authors' names and affiliations,
(4) Contact Author's name and contact details including telephone/fax
numbers and e-mail address.
Papers in PDF or gzipped PostScript format have to be submitted, no
later than May 29, 2005 following the link
http://dsa.uniparthenope.it/wilf2005/Submission/tabid/283/Default.aspx
The papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the
program committee. Authors will be notified via email of the results
of the review by June 20, 2005.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one author per paper to
register, attend the workshop, and present the paper.
WILF 2005 Proceedings, including all accepted contributions, will be
published by an international publisher. In addition, two special issues
of international journals are planned, which will include extended versions
of selected WILF 2005 papers.

The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the
basis of the reviewers' comments and will be asked to send a camera
ready version of their manuscripts, along with text sources and
pictures, by July 15, 2005.
