Invited Speakers
Miguel Couceiro, France
Short Bio:
Miguel Couceiro received his PhD. in Mathematics from the University of Tampere, Finland, in 2006. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Luxembourg (2007-2012). Currently he is Associate Professor at Université Paris-Dauphine and he has two honorary positions of Docent (Adjunct Professor) in Mathematics at University of Tampere (since December 2007) and in Discrete Mathematics at Tampere University of Technology (since March 2008). His research interests can be found in discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science, and decision mathematics. His earlier work focused on function theory, including aggregation theory, clone theory, multiple-valued logic, and theory of Boolean and pseudo-Boolean functions. His recent works are pertaining to decision making, in particular, preference modeling and learning in the qualitative setting (with particular emphasis on aggregation, decomposition and reconstruction techniques). The tools used are borrowed from universal algebra, relational theory (mainly, order theory), combinatorics and theory of functional equations. He has more than 70 papers in international journals and conference proceedings, and he has co-organized several international conferences and colloquia.
Bernard DeBaets, Belgium
B. De Baets holds an M.Sc. degree in Mathematics (1988), a Postgraduate degree in Knowledge Technology (1991) and a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics (1995). He is a Full Professor (2008) in Applied Mathematics at Ghent University, Belgium. He is an affiliated professor (2009) at the Anton de Kom Universiteit (Suriname) and an Honorary Professor (2006) of Budapest Tech (Hungary). He was a Government of Canada Award holder (1988-89) at the Intelligent Systems Research Laboratory of the University of Saskatchewan. He was elected Fellow of the International Fuzzy Systems Association in 2011 and has been nominated for the 2012 Ghent University Prometheus Award for Research.
He is leading the research unit Knowledge-based Systems (KERMIT) at the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering at Ghent University, which is an interdisciplinary team of (bio-)engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians. Its current activities consist of three interwoven threads: knowledge-based, predictive and spatio-temporal modelling.

He worked as a Research Assistant at Abant Izzet Baysal University between 1994-1998, a Lecturer at Akdeniz University between 1998-2001, an Associate Professor at Akdeniz University between 2001-2006 and a Full Professor at Akdeniz University between 2006-2013.
He is the author of many qualitative papers published in Fuzzy Sets and Systems, Information Sciences, Int. J. General Systems, J. Math. Anal. Appl., Int. J. Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, Kybernetika….
Apart from his many past research interests like fuzzy relations (fuzzy functions, fuzzy orderings, fuzzy equivalences…) and fuzzy algebraic structures (vague groups, vague arithmetic operations…), his current research focuses on the categorical (fuzzy) topological spaces and their applications to ordered algebraic structures.
