Aim
The aim of this special session is to provide a forum for exchanging recent research results in type-2 fuzzy logic control.

Type-2 fuzzy logic control is a paradigm which takes the fundamental concepts in control from type-1 fuzzy logic and expands upon them in order to deal with the high levels of uncertainty present in a vast number of real world control problems. A wide variety of traditional areas in control (that have also been addressed through type-1 fuzzy logic control) have already been addressed with type-2 fuzzy logic, from the control in steel production plants to the control of marine diesel engines and robotic control. In many engineering applications, it has been shown that type-2 fuzzy logic can provide benefits over both traditional forms of control as well as type-1 fuzzy logic and it is the aim of this special session to attract a comprehensive selection of high quality current research in this area of type-2 fuzzy logic control, motivating further collaboration and providing a platform for the discussion on future directions of type-2 fuzzy logic control by researchers active in the field.

Scope
This special session will address advances in interval type-2 as well as general type-2 fuzzy logic control. Topics include, but are not limited to:
Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Control
General Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Control
