Event History

In 2006 and 2008 the first steps toward the organization of a research community around the theme: "Fuzzy" were taken. It was done through the organization of the Symposium on Applications of Fuzzy Logic (Simpósio de Aplicações de Lógica Fuzzy - SALF - in Portuguese). The idea was the establishment of a biannual meeting with a regional character. The event revealed that we were in front of an area with a great demand, as the number of participants overcame the expectations and welcomed researchers and students of universities from different states like: São Paulo, Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais and Distrito Federal.

On September 08-11th of 2009, the Brazilian Applied Mathematical Society (SBMAC) promoted the first Mini-symposium on the "Foundations and Applications of Fuzzy Logic" as a satellite event of the National Congress on Applied Mathematics, which was held in Cuiabá - MT. At that time about 2.000 CNPq Lattes CVs involving the keyword "Fuzzy" were found. With this scenario, the Thematic Committee on Fuzzy Systems, was created in the Society, which induced the organization of an event with a national character around the theme "Fuzzy". This event was called: First Brazilian Congress on Fuzzy Systems (I Congresso Brasileiro em Sistemas Fuzzy - I CBSF; in Portuguese), substituting the III SALF which had already been planned.

The I CBSF expanded the scope of SALF, which focused mostly on applications. The word "System" assumed a broad sense, in order to capture both the investigation on Computational systems and the investigation on Logical systems that are also objects of investigation.

Within this context we walk toward the III CBSF; this time held in João Pessoa.

We hope to see you in João Pessoa.
III CBSF organization.
