Dr. Timothy Ross has been chosen as the keynote speaker for the Rio Fuzzy Logic 2017 Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, June 26-30, 2017. His keynote address will be titled, "Uncertainty, Imprecision, and Fuzziness in Engineering Information".
The conference is organized by a group called LABFUZZY that was formed in the summer 2014. LAB FUZZY is an institute within the university called “UFRJ”, “Universidade Federal Rio de Janeiro”. Dr. Ross gave the initial keynote address at the first meeting of the conference in June 2014.
