******************
The joint conference publishes one Proceedings on Summaries which consist
of all papers accepted by all three program committees. The JCIS Proceedings
will be made available on Sept. 28, 1995.
A summary shall not exceed 4 pages of 10-point font, double-column,
single-spaced text, (1 page minimum) with figures and tables included. Any
summary exceeding 4 pages will be charged $100 per additional page. Three
copies of the summary are required by June 25,1995. A deposit of $150 check
must be included to guarantee the publication of your 4 pages summary in the
Proceedings. $150 can be deducted from registration fee later. It is very
important to mark ``plan A'' or ``plan B'' or ``plan C'' on your manuscript.
The conference will make the choice for you if you forget to do so. Final
version of the full length paper must be submitted by October 1, 1995. Four
(4) copies of the full length paper shall be prepared according to the
``information for Authors'' appearing at the back cover of Information
Sciences, an International Journal (Elsevier Publishing Co.). A full paper
shall not exceed 20 pages including figures and tables. All full length
papers will be reviewed by experts in their respective fields. Revised
papers will be due on April 15, 1996. Accepted papers will appear in the
hard-covered proceeding (book) to be published by a publisher or Information
Sciences Journal (INS journal now has three publications: Informatics and
Computer Sciences, Intelligent Systems, Applications). All fully registered
conference attendees will receive a copy of proceeding (summary) on September
28, 1995; a free one-year subscription (paid by this conference) of
Information Sciences Journal - Applications. Lastly, the right to purchase
either or all of Vol.I, Vol.II, Vol.III of Advances in FT & T hard-covered,
deluxe, professional books at 1/2 price. The Title of the books are
``Advances in Fuzzy Theory & Technology, Volume I or II or III''.

| ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS |
--------------------------------------
General Information
The Joint Conference on Information Sciences consists of three international
conferences. All interested attendees including researchers, organizers,
speakers, exhibitors, students and other participants should register either
in Plan A: Fourth International Conference on Fuzzy Theory & Technology or
Plan B: Second International Conference on Computer Theory & Informatics and
Plan C: First International Conference on Computational Intelligence &
Neurosciences.
***************************************************
* PLEASE NOTE: All Attendees must choose either *
* Participation Plan A or *
* Participation Plan B or *
* Participation Plan C. *
***************************************************
Any participants can attend all the keynote speeches, plenary sessions, all
parallel sessions and exhibits. The only difference is that all authors
registered in Plan A will automatically participate in Lotfi A. Zadeh Best
Paper Competition. Both Plan B and Plan C will have no best paper competition.
All technical papers submitted to FT & T, 1995 (Plan A) are automatically
qualified as candidates for this award. The prize for this award is $2,500
plus hotel accommodations (traveling expenses excluded) at FT & T, 1996.
The date for announcement of the best paper is May 30, 1996. Oral
presentation in person at FT & T, 1996, is required and an acceptance speech
at FT & T, 1996 is also required. The evaluation committee for FT & T, 1995
consists of the following 12 members:
Bernadette Bouchon I. R. Goodman Janusz Kacprzyk
George Klir John Mordeson Akira Nakamura
Sujeet Shenoi H. Chris Tseng I. B. Turksen Thomas Whalen Edward K. Wong Ron Yager
The selection of the top ten best papers will be decided by conference
attendees and session chairs jointly.
PARTICIPATION PLAN A:
Fourth Annual Conference on Fuzzy Theory & Technology
The conference will consist of both plenary sessions and contributory
sessions, focusing on topics of critical interest and the direction of future
research. For contributory sessions, full papers are being solicited. We
welcome you to organize sessions. Example topics include, but are not limited
to the following:
Topics: 4th Annual Conference on Fuzzy Theory & Technology
* Fuzzy Mathematics & Fuzzy Set Theory
* Basic Principles and Foundations of Fuzzy Logic
* Qualitative and Approximate-Reasoning Modeling
* Hardware Implementations of Fuzzy Logic Algorithms
* Design, Analysis, and Synthesis of Fuzzy Logic Controllers
* Learning and Acquisition of Approximate Models
* Fuzzy Expert Systems
* Fuzzy Neural Systems
* Efficiency/Robustness Comparisons with Other Direct Search
Algorithms
* Integration of Fuzzy Logic and Evolutionary Computing
* Fuzzy Pattern Recognition
* Implementations (electronic, Optical, Biochips)
* Intelligent Control & Fuzzy Control
Applications of the topics:
* Hybrid Systems * Image Processing
* Image Understanding * Pattern Recognition
* Robotics, Automation & Manufacturing
* Intelligent Vehicle and Highway Systems
* Virtual Reality * Tactile Sensors
* Machine Vision * Motion Analysis
* Neuro Biology * Sensation and Perception
* Sensorimotor Systems * Speec, Hearing and Language
* Signal Processing * Time Series Analysis
* Prediction * System Identification
* System Control * Intelligent Information Systems
* Case-Based Reasoning * Decision Analysis
* Databases and Information Retrieval
* Dynamic Systems Modeling & Diagnosis
* Electrical & Nuclear Power Systems
All above application areas are applicable to Plan B and Plan C.
Highlight of Plan A:
(1) Workshop on Rough Set Theory:
The Rough Set Theory is another approach to vagueness and uncertainty. It
is related to fuzzy sets and evidence theory. A set is rough if its lower
and upper approximations are different; otherwise the set is crisp. This
workshop will be organized by T. Y. Lin (tylin@jupiter.SJSU.EDU) and Akira
Nakamura (nakamura@cs.meiji.ac.jp) or (FAX: +81 44 934 7912). At least four
sessions are planned.
(2) 30th Anniversary of Fuzzy Mathematics:
The celebration will include the honoring of Professor Azriel Rosenfeld,
Director of Automation Research at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Professor Rosenfeld is the father of several branches in the mathematical
sciences, most notably fuzzy abstract algebra. Professor Rosenfeld will be
present at the conference to speak about fuzzy mathematics. Please help
Professors Wang and Mordeson plan the celebration by sending me your
suggestions. Your suggestions may deal with the organization of a session or
an exhibit with photographs and items of historical value, or even the
publication of a book concerning fuzzy mathematics in general and fuzzy
abstract algebra in particular.
