General Editors: W. Leinfellner (Vienna) and G. Eberlein (Munich) Series A: Philosophy and Methodology of the Soeial Seiences Series B: Mathematical and"Statistical Methods Series C: Game Theory, Mathematical Programming and Operations Research Series D: System Theory, Knowledge Engineering and Problem Solving

Editor: R. Lowen (Antwerp); Editorial Board: G. Feichtinger (Vienna), G. J. Klir (New York) 0. Opitz (Augsburg), H. J. Skala (Paderborn), M. Sugeno (Yokohama), H. J. Zimmermann (Aachen). Scope: Design, study and development of structures, organizations and systems aimed at formal applications mainly in the soeial and human seiences but also relevant to the information seiences. Within these bounds three types of study are of particular interest. First, formal definition and development of fundamental theory andlor methodology, second, computational and/or algorithrnic implementations and third, comprehensive empirical studies, observation or case studies. Although submissions of edited collections will appear occasionally, primarily monographs will be considered for publication in the series. To emphasize the changing nature of the fields of interest we refrain from giving a clear delineation and exhaustive list of topics. However, certainly included are: artifieial intelligence (including machine learning, expert and knowledge based systems approaches), information systems (particularly decision support systems), approximate reasoning (including fuzzy approaches and reasoning under uncertainty), knowledge acquisition and representation, modeling, diagnosis, and control.
The titles published in this series are listed at the end of this volume.
