Dear Colleagues,

the deadline for submitting papers to the special session on
"Recent trends in many-valued logic and fuzziness"
at the FUZZ-IEEE 2018 Conference (http://www.ecomp.poli.br/~wcci2018/)
to be held in Rio de Janeiro,
has been extended to February 1st.

We would be very pleased to receive your submissions.

You can submit your papers for this special session to the conference
online submission system by indicating the title of the special session
(FUZZIEEE02 Recent trends in many-valued logic and fuzziness).

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,
Brunella Gerla, Università degli Studi dell'Insubria
Pietro Codara, IIIA-CSIC
Diego Valota, Università degli Studi di Milano

Special Session on Recent trends in many-valued logic and fuzziness

2018 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2018)
IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence
http://www.ecomp.poli.br/~wcci2018/
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
July 8-13, 2018

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
