Purpose and history
Although fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory cover much wider subjects than operational research itself, these topics have nevertheless several important connections with OR (for instance, in the fields of mathematical programming, preference modelling and its applications in multi-criteria decision aid, representation and exploitation of non-stochastic types of uncertainty, etc.). The purpose of EUROFUSE is to communicate and to promote the knowledge of the theory of fuzzy sets and related areas and their applications.
The working group was created at EURO I (Brussels, 1975). In 1985, the group constituted itself as the European Chapter of IFSA, the International Fuzzy Systems Association. From 1975 to 1979 it was run by H.-J. Zimmermann, from 1979 until 1986 by C. Carlsson, from 1986 until 1993 by M. Roubens, and for a period by H. Hellendoorn. It was more or less inactive for several years following a meeting in Hungary (Visegrad, 1990). However, at the beginning of 1998, two new coordinators were appointed and the working group was brought back to life under the name EUROFUSE. At the same time, as IFSA is no longer composed of chapters, EUROFUSE no longer represents the European Chapter of it. In 1999, EUROFUSE has joined EUSFLAT, the European Society for Fuzzy Logic and Technology, as the Working Group focusing on operations research issues in the area.
