G R E E T I N G S FROM THE GENERAL
CHAIRMAN

On behalf of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers,

its Neural Network Council, and the Organizing Committee of the
Sixth IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, it is my ple-
asure to welcome the participants of the FUZZ-IEEE'97 to this beau-
tiful city of Barcelona.

I felt most honored when, in March 1995, Jim Bezdek recom-

mended to the IEEE Neural Networks Council my appointment to
head the major conference in the field, particulary because this
important event was going to be held in Europe for the first time.

Now that the Conference has been successfully planned and

organized, I want to thank all the persons who have assisted me.
In particular the Organizing Committee headed by Francesc
Esteva, the Finances and Proceedings Chair Pere Garcia, the
Program Chairs Lluis Godo and Joan Jacas, our secretary Maria
del Mar Cutiado for their very hard and excellent work and to the
IllA Administration for their help. I am also most thankful to the
Honorary Chairs Enric Trillas and Lotfi Zadeh for their encourage-
ment and support.

I have received invaluable advice from Hamid Berenji, Jim

Bezdek, Piero Bonissone and Enrique Ruspini, their experience in
past FUZZ-IEEE Conferences has been extremely helpful. I want to
specially acknowledge Karen Haines for her help in dealing with the
student travel grants, a very good initiative of the IEEE Neural
Networks Council that started in FUZZ-IEEE'96 and that, I hope, will
continue in future conferences. I also hope that you will find the time
to erjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Barcelona and the friends-
hip of Catalan people: Benvinguts a Barcelona!

Ramon Lopez de Mantaras

General Chair FUZZ-IEEE'97
 FROM THE PROGRAM
GREETINGS CHAIRS

Since 1992 the IEEE International Conferences on Fuzzy

Systems have been held either in USA or in Japan (1992 San Diego,
1993 San Franscico, 1994 Yokohama, 1995 Orlando, 1996 New
Orleans). When, for the first time the IEEE Neural Network Council
decided that the conference would travel to Europe, the Barcelona
group, represented by the lllA Research Institute, accepted enthou-
siastically this challenge but we were also aware that we had to
compete with some previous oustanding conferences. Nevertheless,
when asked by the General Chair Ramon L6pez de Mgntaras to
become co-chairs of the program committee we accepted the risk
with pleasure. The conducting idea has been to achieve a balanced
high quality program. Balanced in the sense that could incorporate
the main advanced aplications based in fuzzy-logic and hybrid tech-
niques, and the most notable and recent theoretical results. We
think that there is a need of a forum that aims to be a meeting point
of both aspects in Fuzzy Set Theory. We hope that Barcelona, exam-
ple of blending between all Mediterranean cultures and civilizations,
can translate this feeling to all participants.
On the other hand, we have been specially careful to maintain the
high scientific standards held in previous conferences. This year we
have received 376 papers. Of these, 184 will be presented in regu-
lar sessions and 92 in poster sessions. Four additional papers will
be presented in plenary talks.
As general features of the program, we can emphasize the outs-
tanding number of control applications, an increasing interest in the
theoretical aspects and a general area of hybrid techniques included
in the subject of Soft-Computing.
The number of persons that have made this conference possible
is "high", the possibility of not missing any of them is "low" but the
set is "crisp" in our mind. We would like to thank to all of them. We
also extend our recognition to all members of the program commit-
tee, as well as all other additional reviewers, that with their effort
have contributed to enhance the quality of the accepted papers.
Finally we are particularly grateful to Maria del Mar CuAado and
lmma Moros for their excellent secretarial work, to Juan Antonio
Rodriguez and Francisco Martin for their help with the web pages of
the conference, and to Gemma Sales for her excellent work in pre-
paring these proceedings volumes.
