carefully selected papers. The invited talks were: "The role
of fuzzylogic and soft computing in the conception and
design of intelligent systems" by Lotfi A. Zadeh, and "A
contextual approach for AI systems development" by Irina V.
Ezhkova. The contributed papers are grouped into sections on
theoretical issues, machine learning, expert systems,
robotics and control, applications to medicine, and
