IFSA-FLINT 2007

Special Track: Fuzzy Logic and the Internet (FLINT)

One of the main objectives of the FLINT is to design an intelligent search engine with high WebMIQ with higher level deductive capability by 2010.

The BISC Special Interest Group on Fuzzy Logic and the Internet (FLINT) will present FLINT 2007 special track, series of workshops, tutorials, keynote and panels during IFSA 2007. The registration for IFSA 2007 covers all sessions and events organized by FLINT-2007.

Best Application and Theoretical Papers from FLINT 2007 to be revised for submission to Journal and selected papers will be considered for publication as Book Chapter. The selection of the papers will be done by the program committee and there will be a 'Fast Track' Review process for the papers.

The initial objective of the FLINT is to design an intelligent search engine and Q&A System with high WebMIQ and Q&AMIQ with higher level deduction capability based on the advancement in the following area:

Ø       Add higher level deduction capability

Ø       Precisiation of meaning

Ø       A logic for approximate reasoning

Ø       Information summarization

Ø       Add content to the existing information

Ø       Semantic Web and distributed data-based development

Ø       Ontology development

Ø       Mobilization of the knowledge

Ø       Web and Text Mining

Ø       Machine-human interaction for better search and add human intelligence

Ø       Development of web-question and answering (WQ&A)

Ø       Search in Multi-Media

Ø       Advances in analysis of graphs and networks

Ø       Better targeted information delivery and services

FLINT 2007 lunches a new Initiative: Computational Intelligence for Information and Internet Search in the Interest of the Society (COINS).

Ø       “Intelligent search with high WebMIQ; potential for billions of queries for an industry worth hundreds of billion of dollars”

Ø       “Overall forecast for document and content management estimates the market growing to $15 billion in 2008.
