EUROFUSE ANNIVERSARY WORKSHOP on "Fuzzy for Better" 15-18 June 2005 Belgrade, Serbia & Montenegro FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS http://automatika.imp.bg.ac.yu/EUROFUSE2005/ <http://automatika.imp.bg.ac.yu/EUROFUSE2005/> <http://automatika.imp.bg.ac.yu/EUROFUSE2005/> Invitation We are proud to announce that EUROFUSE celebrates the 30th anniversary of its foundation in 2005. On this occasion a workshop is organized on Fuzzy for Better . The main purpose of it is to communicate and to promote knowledge of the theory of fuzzy sets in OR-related areas, together with their applications. Ever since EURO (the Association of European Operational Research Societies) has existed it has provided an organizational framework for EURO Working Groups. The corner-stone for both EURO itself and its working groups was laid in the first EURO Conference in 1975, and the WG on Fuzzy Sets (together with three other groups) was set up at the same time. In 1998, the EURO Working Group on Fuzzy Sets was revived, under the name EUROFUSE. As a general principle, it should bring together people with different backgrounds (like industry, university, etc) who are interested in fuzzy sets and OR in order to exchange ideas, experiences and research results. In 1999, EUROFUSE has joined EUSFLAT, the European Society for Fuzzy Logic and Technology, as the Working Group focusing on operations research issues in the area. After successful meetings on Planning and Scheduling (Mons, 2000), Preference Modeling and Applications (Granada, 2001) Information Systems (Varenna, 2002), and Data and Knowledge Engineering (Warszawa, 2004), the coordinators have chosen to dedicate the 2005 workshop to Fuzzy for Better . Theoretical as well as applied papers illustrating how the use of fuzzy logic in operations research has improved quality of decision support, planning, scheduling, information retrieval, etc. are most welcome. It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the EUROFUSE Anniversary Workshop. We hope that you will attend and benefit from the Workshop.
