Selected papers from the International Conference 'The Logic of Soft Computing IV' and Fourth workshop of the ERCIM working group on soft computing

摘要

A lot of conferences on soft computing and related topics are organized each year all over the world. Only few of them, however, became a tradition because they are the most productive. As a rule, these conferences are smaller in their number of participants and so, less formal relations lead to discussions that often result in conceptually new ideas and solutions. We are convinced that the conferences with the general title "The Logic of Soft Computing" that are usually organized in parallel with workshops of the ERCIM working group on soft computing are of this kind. Since 2001, they took place in Italy (Capri, Gargnano, Sienna) and in Vienna in Austria. "The Logic of Soft Computing IV" and Fourth workshop of the ERCIM working group on soft computing was organized in Ostrava, Czech Republic in October 5-7, 2005. Let us mention that in 2006 the conference series was continued in Malaga, Spain.
