Best Student Interval Paper Awards at a 2013 International Fuzzy Conference

For the recent joint World Congress of the International Fuzzy Systems Association and an Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society IFSA/NAFIPS'2013 (Edmonton, Canada, June 24-28, 2013), De Gruyter publishers provided four special book prizes for the best student interval papers.

According to the NAFIPS conference award rules, a paper is considered to be a student paper if either its first author or its second author was a student at submission time.

To select the best papers, an awards committee was formed, chaired by Professor R. Baker Kearfott, Editor-in-Chief of Reliable Computing, the main journal on interval computations.

It was not easy for the committee to select the best papers since many good interval student papers were presented at the conference. The following four papers received the awards (student authors are in italics):

• Juan Carlos Figueroa Garcia and German Hernandez, "Solving linear programming problems with Interval Type-2 fuzzy constraints using interval optimization"
• Ali Jalal-Kamali and Vladik Kreinovich, "Estimating Third Central Moment C₃ for Privacy Case under Interval and Fuzzy Uncertainty"
• Reinaldo Sanchez, Christian Servin, and Miguel Argaez, "Sparse Fuzzy Techniques Improve Machine Learning"
• Francisco Zapata, Ricardo Pineda, and Martine Ceberio, "How to Generate Worst-Case Scenarios When Testing Already Deployed Systems Against Unexpected Situations"
