[Apologies for eventual multiple receptions] Dear Colleagues, we are pleased to announce a special session on "Recent trends in many-valued logic and fuzziness" at the FUZZ-IEEE 2020 Conference, part of WCCI 2020 (https://wcci2020.org/) to be held in Glasgow (Scotland) from 19 to 24 July 2020. The deadline for regular papers was January 15th, now estended to January 30th, 2020. Papers submitted to the special sessions will undergo the same review procedure as that for regular papers. Please submit your papers for this special session to the conference online submission system by indicating the title of the special session ("Recent trends in many-valued logic and fuzziness"). If you plan to submit a paper, please let us know as soon as possible. Please note that even if in the description of the session we insist on certain topics, we think of the session as very generalist on everything related to many-valued logics. Thanks in advance for your interest. Best regards, Pietro Codara, Università degli Studi di Milano Stefano Aguzzoli, Università degli Studi di Milano Diego Valota, Università degli Studi di Milano --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Session on Recent trends in many-valued logic and fuzziness https://homes.di.unimi.it/~valota/fuzzieee2020.htm 2020 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2020) IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence 2020 19 - 24th July, 2020, Glasgow, Scotland (UK) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many-valued logics have constituted for several decades key conceptual tools for the formal description and management of fuzzy, vague and uncertain information. In the last few years, the study of these logical systems has seen a bloom of new research related to the most diverse areas of mathematics and applied sciences. Relevant recent developments in this field are connected to the natural semantics of non-classical events. A non-classical event is described by a formula in the language of a given many-valued logic. A satisfying semantics for such events must account for their different aspects, in particular the "ontic" aspect, related to their vague nature, and the "epistemic" aspect, related to our ignorance, or approximate knowledge about them. The combination in a unique conceptual framework of the logic and the probability of a class of non-classical events, usually reached through the algebraic semantics and their topological or combinatorial dualities, provides both the theoreticians and the application-oriented scholars with powerful tools to deal with this kind of events. This special session is devoted to the most recent development in the realm of many-valued logics, with particular emphasis on theoretical advances related to algebraic or alternative semantics, combinatorial aspects, topological and categorical methods, proof theory and game theory, many-valued computation. In particular, results directed towards a better understanding of the natural semantics of non-classical events will be appreciated. Further, a special attention is also given to connections and synergies between many-valued logics and other different formal approaches to vague and approximate reasoning, such as Rough Sets, Formal Concept Analysis and Relational Methods. A partial list of topics is the following: Algebraic semantics of many-valued logics Applications of many-valued logics to Formal Concept Analysis and Relational Methods Applications of many-valued logics to Fuzzy Sets and to Rough Sets Combinatorial or topological dualities Computational complexity of many-valued logics Many-valued computational models Modal logic approaches to probability and uncertainty in many-valued logics Natural and alternative semantics for many-valued logics Proof theory for many-valued logics Representation theory Subjective probability approaches to many-valued logics and non-classical events --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: 30 January 2020; Paper Acceptance Notification Date: 15 March 2020; Final Paper Submission: 15 April 2020; Early Registration Deadline: 15 April 2020; IEEE WCCI 2020: 19-24 July 2020. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Paper submission deadline is on January 30, 2020.
