On August 20-24, 2009, the 2009 FUZZ-IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems will take place in Jeju Island, Korea. We intend to submit a proposal for a Special Session on "Atanassov's Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets: Recent Advances" as part of the Conference. Therefore, given your expertise in this area and its applications, you are kindly invited to express you interest in participating in this special session, by sending a preliminary title of your work before 1 December 2008, which will be used for filling in our proposal for the Special Session.
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.

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.
