French speaking meeting on fuzzy logics and its applications

The LFA meeting is a opportunity for university searchers and industrialists to meet each others and to present their most recent results on the theory of fuzzy sets and/or on its applications. The domain of applications ranges from the fuzzy control of processes to classifying, pattern recognition, data analysis, decision making, reasoning, image processing and interpretation, data fusion, artificial intelligence or data management systems. This issue of the LFA meeting inaugurates some new theories of uncertainty such as the Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions or the qualitative approaches. From the 40 communications published in this book, two fall into the Inis scope (radioactive waste management and 3-D NMR imaging of brain tissues) and one into the Etde scope (fuzzy control of an electric-powered vehicle).
