WILF2009 aims to highlight connections and synergies of fuzzy sets theory with non-conventional computing (e.g., neural networks, evolutionary computation, support vector machines, molecular computing, quantum computing) and cognitive science, in order to reach a better understanding of both natural and artificial complex systems as well as computing systems, inspired by nature, which are able to solve complex problems. From this perspective one of the main goals of the WILF workshops is to bring together researchers and developers from both Academia and High-Tech Companies.
