Dear Colleagues,

we are glad to announce the organization of 2011 IFSA World Congress and the 2011 AFSS International Conference (2011 IFSA-AFSS).

IFSA (International Fuzzy Systems Association) is a non-profit organization established in 1995. The association functions primarily as a federation to promote the scientific study of, to encourage communication in, and to promote worldwide knowledge of the theory of fuzzy systems and related areas, as well as their applications. Since its establishment, IFSA has actively organized international conferences, and presently also published the International Journal of Fuzzy Sets and Systems as well as nomination of IFSA Award.

The 2011 IFSA-AFSS will be held in Surabaya and Bali Island, Indonesia, the best Asia Pacific tourism destination. As a premier international congress in the areas of Fuzzy Sets and Soft Computing, this event will bring together scientists, engineers and practitioners working in Fuzzy Logic and related areas to present their research. The conference provides a platform for the exchange of ideas and technical interaction.

1. Scope

The topics cover all aspects of Fuzzy Systems and their applications including, but not limited to
- fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic
- mathematical foundations of fuzzy systems
- approximate reasoning and soft computing
- fuzzy decision making, optimization, and design
- fuzzy system architectures and hardware
- fuzzy methods in statistics and imprecise probability
- fuzzy information retrieval
- fuzzy pattern recognition and image processing
- fuzzy sets in management science
- fuzzy control and robotics
- possibility theory
- fuzzy preference modeling
- fuzzy decision analysis
- fuzzy sets in operations research
- fuzzy database mining and financial forecasting
- soft computing with neural networks
- soft computing in evolutionary and hybrid systems
- soft computing in intelligent agents
- learning and adaptive fuzzy systems
- fuzzy inference systems

2. Paper Submission

Scientists, engineers and practitioners are cordially invited to submit regular papers, or organize special sessions.

Papers should be submitted through online system by January 30, 2011. Each paper should follow the formatting guidelines for the conference publication in maximum 6 pages, including figures, tables, and references.

3. Organized Session

The organized session aims to bring together researchers who work in a focused topic. Each organized session comprises of approximately
5 presentations. The organizer of each session should solicit the papers to be included in the session and arrange the submitted papers to peer-review with the same criteria used for the regular papers.

Researchers interested in organizing a special session are invited to submit a proposal to the Organized Session Chair (Pitoyo Hartono,
E-mail: hartono-AT-sist.chukyo-u.ac.jp) by January 30, 2011.

4. Startup Research of Local Young Scientists

This session is intended for young scientists to present their startup or preliminaries studies. The objective of these organized sessions
is to provide Young Scientists under 35 years old to interact with others and to benefit from the attendance of senior researchers from over the world. This organized session targets scientists that are still undergoing their studies in graduate school and also young faculty members.

Young Scientists interested in organizing a special session are invited to submit a proposal to the Organized Session Chair (Pitoyo Hartono,
