New Trends in Fuzzy Systems

The developments of fuzzy systems and fuzzy logic is permeating through the diverse branches of science where uncertainty has to be considered laying on the foundations and applicative developments. CIFT and MEPP conferences have been held in different venues in Scandinavia and Italy since 1990, and have stimulated the attention from academia and industry toward the novelties introduced by fuzzy logic and fuzzy systems theory. The papers presented in this volume are concerned with a wide vision of modern perspectives of science. These cover research areas such as management, financial and economic applications, urbanism and ecology, astronomical engineering, medical diagnosis and imaging, and human behavior.
