EUSFLAT Working Group on Philosophical Foundations
Aims and Scope
The aim of the EUSFLAT Working Group on Philosophical Foundations is to motivate philosophers, educators,and scientists, to approach the roots of Soft Computing, as well as its results in real applications. To this end, this working group will initially consists in- A Forum for the analysis of the grounds and methodologies of Soft Computing and, in particular, of Fuzzy Logic and Computing with Words/Meanings, where new points of view could be openly and quickly discussed, and from which some scientific work/publications could follow up.
- Efforts to create an adequate environment to interest educators, and specially High School teachers, to approach Fuzzy Logic, in principle only to lenghten their horizons of knowledge.
- The organization of Special Sessions in those Conferences where it might be possible, to spread off the knowledge of Soft Computing to new areas of either research or direct application of its methods.
