Springer released the book "[[Index Matrices: Towards an Augmented Matrix Calculus]]" by [[Krassimir Atanassov]]. This is the first monograph that presents the very concept of an [[:index matrix]] and its related augmented matrix calculus in a comprehensive form.
Today our colleague and friend '''[[Beloslav Riečan|Prof. Beloslav Riečan]]''' has 72<sup>nd</sup> birthday. We wish him health and happiness, surrounded by his family and students, and many more scientific results to come! :-)
It mostly illustrates the exposition with examples related to the [[generalized nets]] and [[intuitionistic fuzzy sets]] which are examples of an extremely wide array of possible application areas. The present book contains the basic results of the author over index matrices and some of its open problems with the aim to stimulating more researchers to start working in this area.

Book '''"[[Generalized Net Models of the Human Body]]"''' by [[Krassimir Atanassov]], [[Anthony Shannon]], [[Vihren Chakarov]] and <span style="border:1px solid #aaaaaa; padding:2px;">[[Joseph Sorsich]]</span> was released out of press on 5 November 2008. The book contains a series of [[generalized nets]] models which can be used for simulation of various processes and situations in the human body with the aim of using the information obtained in the process of medical diagnosis and research, and for the training and examination of students.

; October 2008. Warsaw, Poland
; Seventh International Workshop on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Generalized Nets
'''[[International Workshop on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Generalized Nets/2008|IWIFSGN'2008]]''', similarly as its predecessors, mainly focused on the new developments in foundations and applications of [[intuitionistic fuzzy sets]] and [[generalized nets]]. The workshop was held on October 17, 2008 in Warsaw, Poland, at the Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences. The Workshop included plenary talks by leading experts in the fields, and technical contributions.
During the workshop, '''Ifigenia.org''' was officially presented and launched.
