    BACKGROUND & AIMS
International Workshop on Uncertain Systems and Soft Computing is the ninth in a series of conferrences, known as the Bellman Continuum, dedicated to the memory of Professor Richard Bellman for his pioneering work in pure and applied mathematics to science, engineering, economics and medicine, and for his long-last influence on students and researchers throughout the world.
The conference will feature plenary addresses by: L.A. Zadeh, G. Leitmann, A.O. Esogbue, S.C. Fang, and J. Kacprzyk etc. Relevant topics may include, but not limited to
  1. Dynamic Programming, Neuro-dynamic Programming.
  2. Dynamical Systems Modeling and Computations.
  3. Multiobjective Programming, and Multilevel Programming.
  4. Stochastic Programming, Fuzzy Programming, Uncertain Programming.
  5. Large-Scale Optimization, Network Optimization.
  6. Fuzzy Systems, Neural networks, Genetic Algorithm, Soft Computing.
  7. Applications of Mathematical Models to Medical and Health Care Delivery Systems, Water Resources and Environmental Pollution, Manufacturing, Logistics, Data Mining, Internet and Informatics.
  8. Humanware and its development.
  9. Supply Chain Management.
  10. Petri net models, analysis, algorithms, and applications.
