EUFIT '94 aims to bring together scientists and practitioners from academic, governmental, and industrial institutions to discuss new developments and results in the field of intelligent technologies. The congress will take place in Aachen (Aix la Chapelle), Germany, on September 20 - 23, 1994. Charlemagne, the then Emperor of Europe, resided in the medieval Aachen in the 8th century. Here, the charme of 1,200 years of history merges with the most advanced technological research, since the "RWTH", the largest European Institute of Technology is located in Aachen. Structure of the Congress Tutorials:September 20, 1994 Conference:September 21 - 23, 1994 Exhibition:September 21 - 23, 1994 Working Groups:September 20 - 23, 1994 Tutorials The tutorials are offered as an introduction for newcomers to the areas. The lectures will be presented by well known researchers and recognized practitioners. The tutorials will facilitate the understanding of the presentations of the conference. They include the basics and applications, e.g. on Fuzzy Technology, Neural Nets, Fuzzy Control, Genetic Algorithms, and other topics. Conference The conference will be composed of plenary presentations, semi- plenary sessions, panel sessions, invited and contributed sessions, and other events. There will be parallel and interactive sessions. They include scientific and applied presentations in Fuzzy Technology, Neural Nets, and Genetic Algorithms. In interactive sessions speakers can communicate freely with the interested audience up to 60 minutes. Topics to be covered will be: - Basic concepts and mathematical aspects - Methodology such as Artificial Intelligence, Expert Systems,Decision Support Systems, Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision, Clustering, Control, Supervision, Adaptation, Data Analysis, Software and Hardware Support - Applications, for example, in Engineering, Process Control, Measurement, Signal Analysis, Production, Medicine, Finance Exhibition There will be an international software, hardware and book exhibition (like EUFIT '93 with at least 20 Exhibitors). Exhibitors will present latest developments in soft- and hardware products and special applications based on intelligent systems. Interested exhibitors are requested to contact the ELITE-Foundation for further information. Working Groups There will be an open working group meeting of FALCON (Fuzzy Algorithms for Control, a European ESPRIT-working group). Interested persons who want to organize other working group meetings should contact the general chairman of EUFIT '94. Language The conference language is English. Simultaneous interpretation will not be available. Call for Papers Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract for parallel sessions as well as for interactive sessions (in English, from 2 up to 5 pages) of their paper including clear concluding remarks and three keywords characterizing their papers.

We are looking forward to see you in Aachen. Best Regards Karl Lieven Invitation programme EUFIT '94 Second European Congress on Intelligent Techniques and Soft Computing Aachen, September 20-23, 1994 Main Topics: Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms: Methodology and Industrial Applications September 19: FALCON-Meeting (European Working group on Fuzzy Algorithms in Control) September 20: 8 Tutorials on fuzzy, neuro, GA, and chaos September 21-23: Conference with approx. 300 papers and presentations September 21-23: International soft-, hardware, and book exhibition Invitation by the General Chairman As the General Chairman of EUFIT '94 it is a pleasure to invite you to participate in this Conference in Aachen where the charm of 1200 years of history merges with most advanced technological research performed in the "RWTH", the largest European Institute of Technology with almost 40 000 students and six different Colleges of Engineering. The last two decades have witnessed a very strong growth of theoretical areas related to Fuzzy Set Theory and Neural Networks. Since the beginning of the seventies these techniques have also been applied to a variety of problems. To an increasing degree they are merged with other approaches in the area of "Intelligent Techniques". "Intelligent Techniques" is not a crisply defined area. It includes Fuzzy Logic as well as Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, Tabu-Search, Expert System Technology as well as Data Analysis and Control Theory. It is therefore not surprising that numerous disciplines have contributed to this area such as Artificial Intelligence, Control Engineering, Operations Research, Decision Theory, Logics, Psychology, Computer Science and, of course, Mathematics. In addition to the problems caused by the interdisciplinary approach, Europe is characterized by a number of features which lead to additional problems, but also to additional challenges and additional potentials: the multi-cultural and multi-lingual environment in Europe makes communication between the different countries difficult, expensive and time-consuming. There exists the danger that the wheel is invented several times at different locations in Europe and that overall research efficiency in Europe decreases compared to other continents. Therefore it seems to be of particular importance in Europe to facilitate and strengthen communication and cooperation between scientists and practitioners in different European countries. This is exactly what EUFIT '93, the last year conference on the same topic, tried to achieve. EUFIT '94 builds on the success and experience of last year's conference. We shall try again to accommodate newcomers to the area as well as experts, theorists as well as practitioners, and participants from East and West, North and South. This time, however, the conference focuses not only on Fuzzy Technology but combines the areas of Fuzzy Logic, Neural Nets, and Evolutionary Computing including Genetic Algorithms. Aachen lends itself as a location for this Conference for several reasons: it is a city which is used to interdisciplinary research of engineering science and social science faculties; it is a city in which the cultures of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany merge and a city which is very friendly, hospitable and open minded. Aachen is also a location where active research of various kinds has been performed in the area of Fuzzy Set Theory since the beginning of the seventies, with the university in which theory and applications of Fuzzy Sets have been taught on a regular basis since the beginning of the eighties and it is also the location of ELITE, the European Laboratory for Intelligent Techniques Engineering which has as the main goal to advance and facilitate the European ooperation in the area of Intelligent Techniques. I am most thankful to all members of the Programme Committee and the Organization Committee for their continued help and support. I also thank the Technical University of Aachen (RWTH) that this time hosts the conference. A special recognition goes to the staff of ELITE and MIT without whose enthusiastic activities this Conference would not have been possible. I am also most thankful to all the colleagues that have agreed to offer tutorials, to all speakers at the Conference and, of course, to all participants that will come to Aachen and that will make this conference as successful as EUFIT '93, the most important event in this area in Europe in 1994. I hope that all of you will benefit from the scientific programme as well as from the social events and the exhibition. I am sure you will enjoy Aachen and hopefully return to Aachen often in the future. H.-J. Zimmermann General Chairman of EUFIT '94 Programme Committee Honorary Chairman L.A.
