Fourth ERCIM Soft Computing Workshop

by Petr Hajek

The fourth workshop of the ERCIM Working Group on Soft Computing was held jointly with the conference Logic of Soft Computing IV, held in Ostrava, Czech Republic on 5-7 October 2005.

The workshop was attended by over 40 scientists from nine European countries and provided an excellent platform for the strengthening of working contacts and exchange of information. Alongside the 29 papers presented, four speakers gave keynote presentations. They were:

• Francesc Esteva, IIIA, CISC, Spain: 'Logics of a Continuous T-norm and Its Residuum with Truth Constants'
• Daniele Mundici, University of Florence, Italy: 'Hajek.s Basic Logic and Multi-Channel Games with Lies'
• Umberto Straccia, ISTI-CNR, Italy: 'Fuzzy Description Logics and the Semantic Web'
• Dag Westerstahl, Gothenburg University, Sweden: 'Generalized Quantifier Theory: an (other) Area where Logic Meets Linguis\ tics and Computer Science'.

The local organizer was the Institute for Research and Applications of Fuzzy Modelling, at the University of Ostrava.
