Soft Computing is a scientific field of new theories and methods (Fuzzy sets, Neural Networks, Genetic/Evolutionary Algorithms, Approximate Reasoning) that was very successful in technology in the last decades. In contrast, very little is known about former work and present activities about the use soft computing theories and methods in the Humanities and Social Sciences (philosophy, history, sociology, linguistic, economy, law, arts etc.).
This first international seminar will bring together international scientists who are working in disciplines of Humanities and Social Sciences to present, discuss and develop their actual work in connection with theories and methods of Soft Computing in their own disciplines.
This event that will taker place in the ECSC in Mieres will be the starting point of a broader and finally world-wide development of this new topic, which would also serve to popularize Soft Computing in other academic fields.
