Biography of Prof. LOTFI A. ZADEH
LOTFI ZADEH was born in Baku, Azerbaijan SSR, to a Russian Jewish mother (Fanya Koriman) who was a pediatrician, and an Iranian Azeri father from Ardabil who was a journalist on assignment from Iran.[1] However, at the age of ten, when Joseph Stalin introduced collectivization of farms throughout the Soviet Union, the Zadeh family moved to Iran, his father's homeland.
Zadeh grew up in Iran, and studied at Alborz High School. After high school, he sat for the national university exams and placed second in the entire country. In 1942, he graduated from the University of Tehran with a degree in electrical engineering (Fanni), and moved to the United States in 1944. He received an MS degree in electrical engineering from MIT in 1946, and a PhD in electrical engineering from Columbia University in 1949. [1]
Zadeh taught for ten years at Columbia University, was promoted to Full Professor in 1957, and has taught at the University of California, Berkeley since 1959. He published his seminal work on fuzzy sets in 1965 in which he detailed the mathematics of fuzzy set theory. In 1973 he proposed his theory of fuzzy logic.
Zadeh is noted to be "quick to shrug off nationalism, insisting there are much deeper issues in life", where he himself is quoted stating: "The question really isn't whether I'm American, Russian, Iranian, Azarbaijani, or anything else. I've been shaped by all these people and cultures and I feel quite comfortable among all of them."[2]
Zadeh also notes in the same interview from which the above quote is taken: "Obstinacy and tenacity. Not being afraid to get embroiled in controversy. That's very much a Turkish tradition. That's part of my character, too. I can be very stubborn. That's probably been beneficial for the development of Fuzzy Logic."[3]
Zadeh is married to Fay Zadeh and has two children, Stella Zadeh and Norman Zadeh.
Awards
In 1994 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery. He was awarded the IEEE Medal of Honor in 1995 "For pioneering development of fuzzy logic and its many diverse applications."
Zadeh has a long list of achievements, including
* In 1993 Azarbaijan bestowed him an honorary Professorship from the Azarbaijan State Oil Academy.

Zadeh's most recent recognition comes from The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Lotfi Zadeh receives the 2009 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Electrical Engineering for inventing and developing the field of “fuzzy logic,” in which a system applies a quantitative assessment to inherently ambiguous ideas, thus providing a new paradigm to improve artificial intelligence and automated control systems.
Work
Because of the importance of the relaxation of Aristotelian logic, which opens up applicability of rational methods to the majority of practical situations without dichotomous truth values, Zadeh is one of the most referenced authors in the fields of applied mathematics and computer science, but – as noted below – his contributions are not limited to fuzzy sets and systems.
Fuzzy sets and systems
Aristotle introduced the laws of thought, which consisted of three fundamental laws:
* Principle of identity
* Law of the excluded middle
* Law of contradiction.
The law of the excluded middle states that for all propositions p, either p or ~p must be true, there being no middle true proposition between them. This should not be confused with the principle of bivalence, which states that either p must be true or false.
Jan Łukasiewicz was the first to propose a systematic alternative to the bi-valued logic of Aristotle and described the 3-valued logic, with the third value being Possible. Zadeh, in his theory of fuzzy sets, proposed using a membership function (with a range covering the interval [0,1]) operating on the domain of all possible values. He proposed new operations for the calculus of logic and showed that fuzzy logic was a generalisation of classical and Boolean logic. He also proposed fuzzy numbers as a special case of fuzzy sets, as well as the corresponding rules for consistent mathematical operations (fuzzy arithmetic).
Other contributions
Lotfi Zadeh is also credited, along with John R. Ragazzini, in 1952, with having pioneered the development of the z-transform method in discrete time signal processing and analysis. These methods are now standard in digital signal processing, digital control, and other discrete-time systems used in industry and research.
Zadeh's latest work includes computing with words and perceptions. His recent papers include From Search Engines to Question-Answering Systems—The Role of Fuzzy Logic, Progress in Informatics, No. 1, 1-3, 2005; and Toward a Generalized Theory of Uncertainty (GTU)—An Outline, Information Sciences, Elsevier, Vol. 172, 1-40, 2005.

Professors Against Plagiarism
Professors Against Plagiarism : A professor at Columbia University’s Teachers College who was propelled into the national spotlight when a noose was found on her office door last fall has been found to have plagiarized the work of a former colleague and two former students, the college has announced.
Madonna G. Constantine
The college, in statements to the faculty and the news media, said an 18-month investigation into charges against the professor, Madonna G. Constantine, had determined there were “numerous instances in which she used others’ work without attribution in papers she published in academic journals over the past five years.”
Susan H. Fuhrman, the college’s president, and Thomas James, the provost, informed the faculty of the case, and said that Dr. Constantine had the right to appeal.
The college said Dr. Constantine was being penalized, but did not say what the penalty was. A spokeswoman for the college, Marcia Horowitz, said Teachers College did not have set rules governing plagiarism or how it should be punished.
Dr. Constantine, in an e-mail message to faculty and students on Wednesday, called the investigation “biased and flawed,” and said it was part of a “conspiracy and witch hunt by certain current and former members of the Teachers College community.”
“I am left to wonder whether a white faculty member would have been treated in such a publicly disrespectful and disparaging manner,” she wrote.
She added, “I believe that nothing that has happened to me this year is coincidental, particularly when I reflect upon the hate crime I experienced last semester involving a noose on my office door. As one of only two tenured black women full professors at Teachers College, it pains me to conclude that I have been specifically and systematically targeted.”
Dr. Constantine’s lawyer, Paul J. Giacomo Jr., who made Dr. Constantine’s e-mail message available, said in an interview that his client was the one whose work had been plagiarized, and that she would appeal to the college’s faculty advisory committee.
Paul J. Browne, the Police Department’s chief spokesman, said the newly imposed sanctions on the professor would have little or no influence on what he called “an ongoing investigation” into the hanging of the noose which had been referred last fall to the hates crime unit.
Ms. Horowitz said the college initiated the investigation more than a year before the noose incident. “It had no bearing on the way the investigation was conducted, its findings or the sanctions imposed,” she said. The sanctions were first reported by The Columbia Spectator, the student newspaper.
Dr. Constantine, a professor of psychology and education who specializes in the study of how race and racial prejudice can affect clinical and educational dynamics, came to Teachers College in 1998 as an associate professor and earned tenure in 2001.
In 2006, the chairman of Dr. Constantine’s department, Suniya S. Luthar, passed along to administrators complaints that Dr. Constantine had unfairly used portions of writings by a junior colleague, Christine Yeh, as well as a number of students, Dr. Luthar said in an interview. Teachers College eventually asked Hughes Hubbard & Reed, a law firm, to investigate.
Dr. Yeh, who is now at the University of San Francisco, said in an interview Wednesday that she had left Teachers College in part because of her differences with Dr. Constantine. She called the college’s determination that there had been plagiarism “an important first step.”
“I’m really hopeful other people will come forward now,” she said. “When the initial charges were made, there were many students involved who didn’t feel they could follow up. They were too scared, and they were afraid of retribution.”
Dr. Yeh said that some of her work that had been copied concerned “indigenous healing,” or alternative methods, like acupuncture and Santeria, of dealing with medical and spiritual ailments. She said she has specialized in that subject for years.

UNCERTAINTY and INFORMATION (discussion continues)
Please allow me to raise a few questions in regard to your view on the
concept of uncertainty.
If I understand you correctly, you would like us to recognize that, 'in
large measure'(?), there are different theories of different kinds of
uncertainty. Assuming that your argument can not be refuted, I wonder (a)
how the uncertainties the adherents of rough set/system theory (Zdzislaw
Pawlak c.s.) and grey set/system theory (Julong Deng c.s.) are talking about
differ from each other and from the kind of uncertainty you have been
concerned with, (b) how, from a fuzzy (or crisp) logic point of view, the
reasoning of respectively your Polish and Chinese counterparts is to be
assessed, (c) how probability theory fits in with all this, and (d) whether
vagueness is just another word for fuzziness, as much as imprecision is
synonymous with inexactness.
'The concept of uncertainty may be equated to the concept of information
granularity', you maintain. Is this 'key assertion' meaning exactly what
George Klir says in Uncertainty and Information: Foundations of Generalized
Information Theory (2006): 'Information is anything capable of reducing
uncertainty'? If uncertainty is indeed directly related to information
(inversely or otherwise), then we have got ourselves in a difficult
situation: between the devil and the deep blue sea. For there is also a long
controversy over the correct definition and ontological status of
information, a word the origin of which - it tends to be forgotten - can be
found in the Latin verb 'in-formare', and a word that may prompt the
philosopher, or the theologian, to ask: 'Who has been the
in-former/designer?'.
I (and presumably other people as well) look forward to receiving your
gracious response to these perhaps silly questions.
Respectfully yours,
Hans Kuijper

I would like to expound upon Prof. Zadeh's insightful comments. He writes, among related gems, "A basic misconception is that there is just one kind of uncertainty--probabilistic uncertainty." This raises the question for me at least as to just how many types of uncertainty there are. I would expect that this number might be countably infinite and thus cannot be bounded above. This was suggested to me by certain results in the military study of "deception". I believe this is true because while concepts such as granularity tend to be for the most part domain general, there can be no finite number of ways to limit granular characterizations for an arbitrary domain. Equivalently, the fact that the truth value of an arbitrary statement is undecidable can only mean that the number or types of uncertainty is not finite because otherwise a contradiction would arise. Fast forwarding a bit, I suggest that if there were only a finite number of types of uncertainty, or equivalently only a finite number of possible granular characterizations for an arbitrary domain, then logics and predicate rules would be sufficient to capture all of the uncertainty inherent to the natural world. But, in as much as this cannot be, we are led by the hand to case-based characterizations and thus if one wishes to solve the CW and CW-related problems, one will never find the solution in any logic or first-order calculii. This can only be interpreted to mean that without learning(indemic to case-based methods and some others of course) one cannot solve the CW problem. I would like to conclude with the note that learning by definition must incorporate all of its derivatives (i.e., learning how to learn). This means that any formal definition for intelligence differs from that proposed by Turing. Indeed, intelligence is not based so much on accumulated knowledge, but on "learning how to learn".

A liar and an internet troll. A REPLY TO "ANONYMOUS" Email Sender or Commentor ("Commentor", no "commentors"),
Dear WSEAS friends and members,
It has come to our attention that there is some "anonymous" individual who sends emails to various WSEAS committees, prompting the committee members to resign their position, anonymously accusing WSEAS using outrageous and disgusting lies.
This "anonymous" person has so far been falsely identifying himself as:
1. A former employee of the WSEAS (???)
2. A student who's been published by the WSEAS (!!!)
3. A president of WSEAS in his country. Most of you, you know these emails in 2006.
4. A receiver of WSEAS spam email, supposedly for keynote speeches - when, from www.wseas.org/reports, we only feature keynote speakers in very few, major conferences
5. A WSEAS author who published a draft paper in WSEAS without registration (this is very funny)
6. With the fake name "Sana" he says that our Books and Proceedings are not in ISI, but they are, Check them here
http://thomsonreuters.com/products_services/science/science_products/a-z/conf_proceedings_citation_index?parentKey=432529
Our response to this internet impostor (= Organizer of a Chain of Conferences outside the WSEAS) is as follows:
All those things that you are saying are nothing but figments of your imagination. There is absolutely no way that you would have a former employee of the WSEAS nor a student who's been published by the WSEAS
nor ...
dear "Conference Organizer" (outside WSEAS of course)
You are a liar and an internet troll!
Obviously, from your email IP, which was sent yesterday to all our email addresses,
we know who you are and we know that you are also running a conference organizing business,
You'd be better off taking care of your own conferences instead.
We have never denied a "withdrawal" request for a paper, like you claim, and we have never published such a paper. This case has already been taken to our lawyers, since we know your IP and that you are a conference organizer too. Unfortunately, what you are doing harms you as well, because with those "anonymous" posts and emails of yours you are not only degrading our conferences, but all conferences in general. Therefore, you are not only defaming us, but also the whole conference world.
Naturally, WSEAS has nothing to fear.
You are the same anonymous person who every now and then shows up as:
1. a former employee of the WSEAS
in www.wseas.org/reports
http://thomsonreuters.com/products_services/science/science_products/a-z/conf_proceedings_citation_index?parentKey=432529
Really all the WSEAS Books and Proceedings are in ISI. The Journals are not though! We have never claimed
that our journals were in ISI.
yourself answering to your country's justice system.
Stop, now, otherwise you will see your NAME here.
P.S. 1 With the fake name "Sana" he says that our Books are not in ISI, but they are, Check them here
http://thomsonreuters.com/products_services/science/science_products/a-z/conf_proceedings_citation_index?parentKey=432529

NEWS for UNCERTAINTY. The discussion of our BISC today
Dear Professor Deng Julong,
It was a great honour to meet you at the IEEE International Conference on Grey Systems recently organised in Nanjing. Though I Iearned a lot from the speakers at the conference whose papers have been exemplarily published in the two-volume Proceedings, I'm still somewhat confused about the nature of the theory you are the celebrated founding father of, and - remarkably - the world outside the PRC and Taiwan is unfamiliar with.
What I am particularly unable to think clearly about is how greyness differs from fuzziness, roughness, vagueness, and randomness. Metaphorically speaking, I would like to know whether these five states of being, or qualities, are the fingers and thumb of a shaky hand called 'uncertainty'. If they are, this hand may be worthy of further, perhaps philosophical investigation. In practical terms, when (meaning: in what kind of situations) is the theory of grey, fuzzy, rough, vague, or random systems, more suitable, and best to apply?
In case you like to refer me to the fuzziness, roughness, vagueness, and randomness (probability) community for clarification on what their respective theoretical and practical positions are, I should be grateful if you could comment on the following thought experiment:
Think of a standard size (A4) piece of black paper. Every second a white dot, roughly 1 millimetre in diameter, appears on the paper randomly. How long will it take for, say, five reasonable onlookers to agree that the colour of the paper has turned grey? If 'black' stands for unknown, and 'white' stands for known, how helpful can grey systems theory be in this situation?
Grey systems are usually said to consist of partly known and partly unknown elements. However, if - contrary to reductionist belief - the parts cannot be known or understood unless the whole (the system), including its 'unknown elements', is taken into account (a conclusion complexity scientists and mereologists seem to have come to), then I wonder how firm the foundation of grey systems theory really is.
I take the liberty of sending a copy of this letter to some experts in the various fields of uncertainty, feeling confident that they also look forward to reading your reply.
Respectfully yours,

Dear Professor Zadeh, Bisc group,
It may be that probabilistic methods and fuzzy methods are complementary, because they are suited to different types of variability :
* probabilistic methods deal with uncertainty in repeated experiments, where the event of interest is typically very precisely defined e.g. the probability of a physical system attaining a given temperature range, or to observe a given class of data in a future sample from a statistical distribution.
* fuzzy logic applies to imprecise but useful definitions, where the clause of a logical statement is typically defined linguistically, e.g. hot vs. cold, or perceptually, e.g. ethinical origin.
Confusion can arise when the the source of variation is not clearly linked to the choise of methodology.
With kind regards and good wishes for the coming year,
Paulo Lisboa
Dear Prof.Zadeh and BISC members,
I am writing this email with deep humility and profound gratitude.
Time has come for me to say goodbye. I will fly back to Beijing this Saturday after one-year visiting in BISC, UC Berkeley.
Even I stay here as a visiting scholar for only one year, this special exprience will be cherished in my memory for my lifetime.
I would like to thank Prof.Zadeh for giving me such a great opportunity to visit BISC, as well as the guidance and insight you endowed us in BISC roundtable discussion and in email and the new ideas and new theories you contributed to the scientific community.
I would like to take this chance to thank all BISC members as your ideas also inspired me a lot either in face-to-face disccusion or in email.
Now, we are in a great family whose name is BISC. Whenever you come to Beijing for meeting or for vocation, please contact me. I will be very glad to meet you, show you around in Beijing and welcome you to give a talk in my University(Beijing Jiaotong University).
Let us wish our beloved Prof. Zadeh health, Soft computing thrive and Friendship forever!

Dear WSEAS
Thank you for informing us about those criminals
I will participate in a WSEAS conference in the near future.
Best regards
Gabriella
Approximately each year about 4000 academicians attend the WSEAS Conferences and more than 4000 papers are published by WSEAS each year out of more than 13000 submitted papers. While from 13000 papers in WSEAS Conferences, approximately 5000 are approved and from them around 4000 thousand make registration and attend the congresses.
I know also who is him and I sent email to wseas-team@wseas.org
He is quite idiot. WSEAS made the correct motion to give the review of the WSEAS Conferences in the collaborating universities.
I am proud that I will go to the Harvard University for the WSEAS Conference next month
I said to our Rector that we are in a collaborative relationship, which is the truth, so our rector agreed to post both announcements, for Cambridge and Harvard too.
Also, yesterday I’ve uploaded my CV to be reviewer for WSEAS.
How are you?
Marija
I hope that everything is OK for you and you family.
I wish you all the best and kind regards from Bucharest,
I am very sorry, Nikos. In this world there are more and more evil people. They don't have ideas, they don't want to work, but they envy your brainstorming and your hard work. This is the spirit of Christmas?!
Take care of yourself, Nikos, and don't pay attention to that impostor, he can't harm WSEAS!!! If I can help you with a bit of something, please, tell me!

I check the links in ISI. All the WSEAS conferences (100%) are in ISI. On the contrary, I found only a 2-3% of IEEE Conferences in ISI. For example, I participated in IEEE Mediterranean Conference on Control in Greece several times and none of his Proceedings are in ISI. Of course, it is in IEEExplore. But IEEExplore is not an Index.
I am a colleague of the University of Southern Denmark and I will support the WSEAS for ever
I know that Prof. Mastorakis is one of the pioneers in Systems Theory (factorization, multidimensional systems and Polynomials). I have never attended a WSEAS conference, but I have published many good papers in the WSEAS Journals where I received very hard review
I received also the email of "Sana"
He told me that WSEAS published his paper without his agreement because his Paper was not in its final form.
But I know that the registration is compulsory in WSEAS Conferences. So, "Sana" is absolutely impostor
My mind goes to two possible people that behind "Sara".
However, this "Sara" is idiot. How can WSEAS publish a paper that is not registered.
"Sara" is a big impostor
and I think I know his name
WSEAS 4 EVER
Dr. Oscar B.
I will support also the WSEAS
I would like to compare the WSEAS Conferences with the ECC'07
See:
https://euca.papercept.net/conferences/conferences/ECC07/program/ECC07_AuthorIndexWeb.html
In WSEAS Conferences, if you submit 4 papers, it is sure that 2 of them will be rejected
I sent 10 papers to this technically co-sponsored IEEE conference
https://euca.papercept.net/conferences/conferences/ECC07/program/ECC07_AuthorIndexWeb.html
and they were accepted all.
I received very funny review for example: improve the format of the paper and the like
I will send you also email with more details
Sorry, my comment was trancated
Simply
use this link
http://ecc07.ntua.gr/
and then click on the link
"The Program of the Conference"
So, this conference of ECC'07 accepted all of my papers, but in WSEAS for every 2 papers, 1 is accepted
Felices Fiestas!
The service in WSEAS is the best of the best.
I have just arrived from an IEEE Conference in Cairo, Egypt.
It was nice and high quality. ALl the IEEE papers were very good. Some of them were important
But they give us only a flash memory with the proceedings, but no book, no hard copy and the registration fees were higher
Felices Fiestas!
I was in Rethymna Beach hotel in Crete, Greece twice, once in a WSEAS Conference and another time in IEEE. while the IEEE was organized by Professor Billis from National Technical University of Athens. Both of them were quite good. However, I noticed that Prof. Billis refused to pay the bill for the conference banquet, because he claimed that the hotel overcharged him. For example Billis claimed that the IEEE had 200 people in the Banquet and the Hotel charged him for 230.
The WSEAS conference was organized by Prof. Nikos Mastorakis
I was in front of this scuffle. Ιt was a terrible brawl. We, as participants of this banquet of IEEE were annoyed by this scuffle. Why did the IEEE (Billis) refused to pay the Hotel for our expenses?
and why didn't Prof. Billis and the hotel solve their dissidence inside some office.
All the other were very good, both in WSEAS and in IEEE. Both conferences were excellent and I was happy that i participated
Merry Christmas

Thank you for informing us about this guy. I phoned the office of WSEAS and they told me his name. It is a pity to bomb us with such SPAM. Also, I agree with the WSEAS policy not to publish his name.
I assisted the WSEAS Conferences in Singapore in 2003 and I am proud because I had seen the list of participants with high rejection rate (almost 60% of the papers were rejected). This was my statistics as assistant in the WSEAS Secretariat in the hotel of the island Sentosa in Singapore 2003.
Most of you, you remember me and I have some of my photos on the web

I have visited also the WSEAS offices in Athens and I have worked with the WSEAS in some common research projects

Hi
I have just applied to join you
in the WSEAS Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/people/Wseas-Friends/1402856134
From now on, I will go only to WSEAS events
I love you and I am fan of Nikos Mastorakis
Maja
I am student at Université de Lyon, France
I was in a recent IEEE/IMACS Conference organized recently. I do not want to report the congress because I do not want to offend the organisers.
The difference with the WSEAS is that in WSEAS events I always receive 2 or 3 reviews from different , really independent, academicians and it is not difficult to have some failure (rejected paper).
On the contrary in the IEEE/IMACS i sent 4 papers and passed all.
My papers were good, but I did not receive any comment. The IEEE/IMACS was very nice, but they gave us only one CD-ROM, contrary to WSEAS that use to gives 3-4 volumes (hard-copy) in each of its conferences and of course 1 or 2 CDs and some complimentary copies from journals.
The conference fees were the same, both in IEEE and in WSEAS.
I think that the IEEE conference had more participants and had more luxurius hotel than the WSEAS.
The IEEE had 5 star hotel, and the WSEAS had 4 Star.
Maybe, the 4 star is more appropriate for students like me.
Merry Cristmas
Do not fear with this "anonymous" fake email sender. I was in the committee of the WSEAS + Univ. Cambridge Conference two years ago and I received this email.
You have 4000 - 5000 papers each year. They receive peer review and manmy times their papers are rejected. They enjoy your conferences (scientific plus organizational part) and they convey this image to their universities. You have 4000 - 5000 thousand accepted papers every year. If you multiply them by an average 3 (authors by paper), you have 15000 authors per year. They know the quality of your review and they diffuse the quality of your conferences to their friends and to their universities.
This is the reason, that the premium Universities like Harvard, MIT, Cambridge, etc... organize conferences under the umbrella of the WSEAS
When we went to other conferences, nobody help us (travel arrangements, trip) but in WSEAS, we are a warm family. I had lost my wallet in a WSEAS conference in Rodos and the organizers supported me financially by paying my hotel. I have heard several stories about the WSEAS during this conference in Rodos. They help people financially, they gave 120000 EUR to tsunami victims 5 years ago by donating these money to philanthropic institutes and so on...
If you know other similar stories, tell them,
Yes, this is true!
WSEAS is very philanthropic and very honest.
They helped also fiancially the victims of the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake in Abruzzo of Italy
They sent money to the affected people and to their families. They offered 45000 EUR !
Congratulations to WSEAS
Dear Nikos,

I was so happy to meet you in Budapest and to see
that you have received the Budapest tech highest

Dear WSEAS
I agree with the WSEAS
After passing through a hard working period in 2009, now is very close to the end of the year. Although next year has been expected to be a difficult
year due to the consequence of economic crisis, I believe, based on our insistence of the passion on business education and research, we definitely will be able to overcome any barrier in front of us.
Here, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family
Merry Christmas and Prosperous Year of 2010.

Dear Professor Mastorakis,
I kindly ask you to excuse me for the following situation. I had an unexpected and very severe health problem in my family and I have not the permission to leave Bucharest. Please excuse me if I could not attend the conference in Athens next week. Already, I have to cancel all the arrangements for this travel.
But, I am interested to have the proceedings and I hope we could arrange to pay the volume and to receive it with the next occasion.
It would be a good opportunity to discuss about the conference of Bucharest.
For the moment, I am keeping you inform on our last steps. We invited and have the positive replay of participation of a great part of rectors of universities of Romania. We invited them in order to set up a coherent program of WSEAS conferences in our country, applying for governmental funds. Also, I discussed with our rector, Professor Ecaterina Andronescu and with the dean of the Technological Faculty, Professor Gheorghe Amza to kindly ask you to establish a permanent WSEAS office in Bucharest, at the Politehnica University, following the IEEE example. Their office is in the Energy Faculty, in the Professor Mircea Eremia bureau. If you will agree the proposal, we could establish WSEAS office in my bureau and laboratory (which presently is a process of modernization with the KSB Pumps support).
Sincerely yours,
Mircea Grigoriu
Happy new year to you!
Thanks for your help and support to me in the past days!
I wish you and your family healthy and happy in the coming new year!
I also wish our cooperation will continue and wish further progress in our cooperation!
I apologize that I did not contact you and ask for your advice and instructions in recent
months. In the second half of this year, I spent considerable time in the Remote Sensing
Key Lab of Chinese Ministry of Education for some urgent project tasks as a visiting researcher.
Now the project tasks have been accomplished. I wish our cooperation will continue.
I will go on working hard for my post-doctoral research in WSEAS under your supervision.
My initial idea about my post-doctoral thesis is "Physics-Inspired Advanced Image Processing Techniques",
which will include our previous cooperation research work and new results in our following cooperation.
I would like to know your opinion about my initial idea of my post-doctoral thesis.
Do you agree and think it can be a proper topic for my post-doctoral thesis? Thanks!
I will report new progress in my work to you, and submit our cooperation papers to you when new
results are obtained.
Looking forward to your reply!
Best regards!
Yours,

I was these days in the WSEAS Conference in Vouliagmeni and the quality and the level was very high
Actually, this was the NAUN conferences www.naun.org that are in collaboration with the WSEAS.
The conference was excellent.I noticed how many expenses the organizers had for us. Rich food, rich coffee-breaks and of course high quality presentations.
I distinguish two Keynote Presentations. This of Prof. Mastorakis and this of Prof. Pardalos both pioneers in optimization
Distinguished Prof. Mastorakis,
I wish you A Happy New Year 2010, good health, lots of successes and important achievements in your scientific activities, including all aspects regarding the WSEAS Organization.
All the best for you and your family!
I hope that we will keep in touch and, maybe, we will find common aspects and interests in order to develop future collaborations.
I also hope that we will meet again in congresses, my four participations in WSEAS Congresses showing clearly, I hope, my interest.
As I told you, in Tenerife was another success for you and for all of us, participants there. Nevertheless, when you will come again in Romania, do not hesitate to contact me.

It is a shame to him.
I know that many conference organizers make attacks to other conference organizers from time to time.
Hamid Arabnia president of WORLDCOMP sent us emails blaming WSEAS and in another email he reported some Fake IEEE Papers and Fake IEEE Conferences.
Dear WSEAS
I learned about the WSEAS when i attended a conference in my University
http://conferences.ulbsibiu.ro/mdis09/conference_program.php
I met Prof. Mastorakis a pioneer scientist in Systems Theory and Optimization. He is a nice guy.
I sent two very good papers in the WSEAS conferences in Tenerife, December 2009. However, the one was rejected. I asked financial support for the other one and the WSEAS granted.
Thanks you WSEAS!

I receive also an email from some "Mr. Diehimmelistschoen." with the follwoing content
Subject: bogus conference IEEE -- bogus conferences IEEE
More than 20 conference proceedings of IEEE have been published and
have included
BOGUS PAPERS. i.e. papers with random text. The IEEE did not re-print
them. Why??
Imagine how many HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of low-level and low-quality
papers have been accepted
in IEEE without quality control, without any kind of elementary
review.
Many Proofs and many blogs exist. First of all Nagib Callaos affair
(conferences with the official
approval and support of IEEE). It is a shame why all the bloggers of
2005 fighted Nagib Callaos
forgetting to fight the franchising systems of IEEE that supported
Callaos and many other crappy (clown) conferences
that have the stamp of IEEE!
Now after the fake papers that numerous IEEE Sponsored events accepted
in February of 2008, December 2008,
January 2009
some colleagues gathered all these IEEE Fake Conference Proceedings

It is amazing how Mr. Professor Arlindo Oliveira imputes and offends
many other conferences in order to attrack people in its own conferences!!!!!!
By the way, we found that his conferences have high publishing fees!!!!!!!!!
For example Oliveira organizes many conferences for example:
http://kdbio.inesc-id.pt/recomb2010/home.html
http://www.bioinformatics-portugal.org/jb2009/
and many others....
but simultaneously, he makes attackes against other conference organizers.

However, it is a shame for Arlindo Oliveira to organize some conferences
with very high registration fees
and at the same time to try to exterminate "his competitors"
(as he feels)
This WSEAS journals are considered as one of the most valid and of high caliber journals and its contents are available for free on the internet to anyone that is interested (it is also printed in hard copy), while its publications are often referenced by other researchers (e.g. enter the word “Mastorakis” in http://scholar.google.com). Recent statistics showed that out of 100 articles, only 6.32 are approved, while the rest are rejected. In other words, only about 1 out of 20 articles gets approved.
I am in a position to provide details by name (article titles – authors) even for the articles that have been rejected, and among those you will several names from even the best Universities of your country.
No other criteria for publishing exist, other than the quality of the articles themselves.
Also, as can be ascertained, those publications are included among the most valid and distinguished international indexes http://www.wseas.us/indexes/ such as SCOPUS, ELSEVIER, EI, ACM, American Mathematical Society, CSA, American Chemical Society, DEST, EBSCO, British Library etc.

About ARLINDO OLIVEIRA
Hi,
But it is worth to put this fact (ARLINDO OLIVEIRA) on Internet. Let's his participants know that he fight (non fair) against the other conferences. And this is fact that is true.
I had the same experience. I received an email twice from some possible conference organizer with the fake name "Bank" and "Sana" and told me not to participate in IEEE conferences.
I have not received any bad email against WSEAS, but I receive ridiculous emails AGAINST the IEEE from time to time
I am sure that people that send emails against IEEE (or against WSEAS) run also their own conferences
It is true that Arlindo Oliveira
has two web pages:
http://kdbio.inesc-id.pt/~aml/
impeaches several other conferences
Simultaneously he runs his own conferences:
http://kdbio.inesc-id.pt/recomb2010/home.html
http://www.bioinformatics-portugal.org/jb2009/
while he has main role as co-chairman in many many other events like
http://kdbio.inesc-id.pt/~aml/
This is the explanation.
If i run my own conference, then I can easily blame and accuse conferences of all the others (like IEEE, like IASTED, like WSEAS)
Do not worry. We will participate in the next WSEAS Conferences
The WSEAS Conferences are always sponsored and organized by Universities. This is important
These Universities are also responsible for the Review of the Papers as well as for
the final technical program.
I helped this procedure in Harvard in 2009 and I know
Conferences with Harvard, MIT and University of Cambridge and many others are the flagship of the WSEAS
http://www.worldses.org/universities.htm
Dan
YES, you are true,
many people that organize conferences, blame all the other conferences in order to catch ... more customers
This is a shame for the academic world!
Be careful though!
The IEEE Conferences have accepted fake (SCIgen) papers
Try to find them via Google
I have received some emails also about fake IEEE conferences and I do not know who was the sender.
On the other hand, we have participated 3 times in IEEE Conferences and I did not receive any review. I think that all the conferences are the same....
Do not be silly.
Hi Nikos,
thank you very much for such kind answer. I will send you all demanded material until the end of January.
If you like, look at the page http://lide.uhk.cz/fim/ucitel/milkoev1/en_index.htm, I have just added link to WSEAS conferences from my web-page. Most of my colleagues know WSEAS conferences and they have been sometimes attending them.

Dear Professor Nikos Mastorakis :
It was such a nice meet with you in Vouliagmeni Beach, Athens Greece, December 29-31, 2009.
I enjoyed very much not only the conference but also the sightseeing of historical ruins.
For all, I am deeply impressed with your beautiful play of Cretan music instrument Lyra.
I would like to upload the video of your play, which will be informed by later e-mail.
In this occasion I would like to send you the URL-address of which I talked during the session.
Please, try them. If you have something unclear, please ask me.

The WSEAS conferences have a permanent quality.
The service is excellent and the level of presentation is exceptional.
It is also great that the WSEAS guys inserted their Books and Proceedings in ISI. I participated in another conference 4 years ago, the proceedings were published by Springer Verlag and until they have not been included at any Index.
So, the WSEAS takes cares of the Indexing of its publications in ISI, INSPEC, EI, Engineering Village, ASME, ACM, ASM more than Springer Verlag and other more historical Publishers

Be careful though!
The IEEE Conferences have accepted fake (SCIgen) papers
Try to find them via Google
