The 17th International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Fuzzy Logic, Soft Computing, and Artificial Intelligence (ICAFS 2025), which will bring together the world’s leading scholars in artificial intelligence and fuzzy logic theory, will be held on August 25–26, 2025, in Iași, Romania. The conference will be dedicated to the memory of the world-renowned Azerbaijani scientist, the founder of fuzzy logic theory, Lotfi Zadeh.
According to “Tehsil365”, the Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry (ADNSU), one of the main organizers of the conference, will be represented with 47 presentations. The event is organized in collaboration with the “Lotfi Zadeh Legacy and Artificial Intelligence” Association, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași (Romania), the University of Siegen (Germany), the Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing (BISC), and other prestigious scientific and higher education institutions.
The conference chair is Professor Rafiq Aliyev, Director of ADNSU’s Bachelor’s Programs. The university’s rector, Associate Professor Rufat Azizov, will participate with a scientific presentation. Other ADNSU representatives, including Professor Latafat Gardashova, Associate Professor Vazehe Askerov, PhD student Shamil Ahmadov, PhD Nigar Adilova, Associate Professor Farida Huseynova, and PhD Aziz Nuriyev, will deliver presentations in various sessions.
The conference will discuss applications of artificial intelligence in engineering, linguistics, social sciences, economics, and other fields. Key topics include Z-number approaches, fuzzy logic, linguistic uncertainty, artificial neural networks, and decision-making models.
In total, papers from nine higher education institutions have been submitted to the conference. In addition, nearly 100 scientific papers from countries around the world have been received. Accepted papers will be published in the prestigious Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems series by Springer and indexed in the SCOPUS international scientific database.
It should be noted that this conference was first held in 1994 and has been organized biennially ever since. Previous editions have taken place in Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Poland, Montenegro, Turkey, and other countries. ICAFS 2025 is the 17th in this series and serves as an important platform for international scientific collaboration in fuzzy logic, soft computing, and artificial intelligence.
