Fuzzy Information and Engineering, Volume 1 (Springer, 2009)

This book is the proceedings of the Third Annual Conference on Fuzzy Information and Engineering (ACFIE2008) from Dec. 5-10, 2008 in Haikou, China. The conference proceedings is published by Springer-Verlag (Advances in Soft Computing, ISSN: 1615-3871).

This year, we have received 155 submissions. Each paper has undergone a rigorous review process. Only high-quality papers are included.
The Third Annual Conference on Fuzzy Information and Engineering (ACFIE2008), built on the success of previous conferences, the ACFIE2005 (Guangzhou, China), is a major symposium for scientists, engineers and practitioners in China to present their updated results, ideas, developments and applications in all areas of fuzzy information and engineering.

It aims to strengthen relations between industry research laboratories and universities, and to create a primary symposium for world scientists in fuzzy fields as follows:
1) Fuzzy intelligence, neural networks and optimal;
2) Fuzzy algebra;
3) Fuzzy analysis;
4) Fuzzy systems and logic;
5) Fuzzy topology and measure;
6) Fuzzy probability, control, forecasting and decision-making;
7) Fuzzy clustering and fuzzy algorithms;
8) Application in fuzzy sets;
9) Rough sets and its application; etc.

This book contains 80 papers, divided into nine main parts:
In Section I, we have 9 papers on “fuzzy intelligence, neural networks and optimal”.
In Section II, we have 11 papers on “fuzzy algebra”.
In Section III, we have 9 papers on “fuzzy analysis”.
In Section IV, we have 9 papers on “fuzzy systems and logic”.
In Section V, we have 9 papers on “fuzzy topology and measure”.
In Section VI, we have 7 papers on “fuzzy probability, forecasting and decisionmaking”.
In Section VII, we have 8 papers on “fuzzy clustering and fuzzy algorithms”.
In Section VIII, we have 11 papers on “application in fuzzy sets”.
In Section IX, we have 7 papers on “rough sets and vague sets”.
