SHORT DESCRIPTION OF SEMINAR PURPOSE/MISSION

 Since its original formulation by L. Zadeh, the concept of a fuzzy subset has been viewed and used as a tool to reformulate, apply, generalize, and enrich many traditional concepts and theories in logic, topology, measure theory, algebra, and other mathematical disciplines. The 20th Linz Seminar on Fuzzy Set Theory is dedicated to summarizing these developments in topology and algebra so as to stimulate further and better research as well as clarify the distinctive role of fuzzy sets in these disciplines. Additionally, it is a special purpose of the Seminar to clarify the meaning of morphism between algebraic structures based on fuzzy subsets.

This Seminar will therefore consider, but not be limited to, the following topics in topology and algebra: Featuring both invited and contributed talks, the Seminar will feature ample time for participants to fully discuss each presentation, a fundamental aspect of the "Linz" tradition. Thus it is anticipated that the 20th Seminar will make a significant contribution to the mathematics of fuzzy sets in topology and algebra.

TRAVEL INFORMATION

 Monday, February 1 is the suggested arrival day, as the Seminar will start on Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m.

The airport Linz provides connections mainly with Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Vienna, Zürich, and Brussels (daily) as well as with Amsterdam and Paris. It is also possible to fly to Vienna and to continue by train (two hours) to Linz (the bus running from the Vienna airport to the Westbahnhof takes approximately one hour).
