call for paper - International Rough Set Society

1st CALL FOR PAPERS
International Symposium on
Fuzzy and Rough Sets (ISFUROS ’06)
http://isfuros06.uclv.edu.cu
Santa Clara, Cuba
December 5 - 8, 2006
Hosted by: Universidad Central de Las Villas, Cuba
Sponsored by:
International Fuzzy Set Association (IFSA)
Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR), Belgium
Otto-von-Guericke Universitat Magdeburg, Germany
Purpose and Scope
The International Symposium on Fuzzy and Rough Sets (ISFUROS 2006) will take
place at Santa Clara, Cuba, hosted by the Universidad Central de Las Villas, from
December 5 - 8, 2006. ISFUROS 2006 aims at providing a forum for exchange
about Fuzzy and Rough sets theories and their applications. The symposium
includes tutorial, invited key lectures and paper presentations.
The goals of ISFUROS 2006 are to strengthen the relationship among the
researchers on fuzzy and rough sets, to spread these theories in the Latin
American research community, and to facilitate contact between new researchers
and consolidated groups.

Proceedings
A summary of every paper (not exceeding two pages) will be published in printed
form at the time of conference. All extended abstracts (9 pages) will be published
in a CD-ROM with its corresponding ISBN, also at the time of conference.
As a post-event publication, a set of extended versions of selected papers will be
published either in Special Issues of the scientific journals “LNCS Transactions in
Rough Sets” or “MathWare and Soft Computing” or in a book of the series “Studies
in Fuzziness and Soft Computing”, from Springer. A second standard reviewing
process will pick up the chosen papers from the accepted ones.
At least one of the authors should complete the conference registration by the
deadline of Early Registration; otherwise, the paper will not be included in the
program or in any conference publications.

Submission procedure, format and review procedure
Since March 1st, 2006 our website will be ready to upload papers, given the
corresponding credentials to their authors first.
Papers must be submitted in electronic form as either PDF (preferred) or
PostScript. Springer format is required for the final camera ready copy, with a
maximum of 9 pages.
Papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers from the Program Committee.
Submissions must be identified as either research or application papers and will be
reviewed using appropriate criteria to their category. Review criteria for research
papers will include scientific significance, originality, technical quality, and clarity.
Review criteria for application papers will include practical or economic
significance, potential for leading to more powerful technology, technical quality,
and clarity.
Registration fee
Registration fee is 300 EUR, including coffee breaks, lunches, a cocktail reception
and a conference banquet.
M. Sc. / Ph. D. students will pay a fee of 200 EUR.
Official Language
The Symposium’s official language is English.
Traveling information
Our university travel agency offers:
•
•
A tourist package that includes transportation in Cuba, housing and meals.
Excursions to Trinidad city –a UNESCO World Heritage city with the best
preserved colonial architecture in the American continent, 80 km from Santa
Clara, near to Ancon beach–, and to Santa Maria northern keys of Villa
Clara, 75 km far from Santa Clara, a tropical paradise that deserves to be
enjoyed to the fullest.
Registration fee does not cover the cost of these visits.
