• Sommario/riassunto: Over the last decade the physics of black holes has been revolutionized by developments that grew out of Jacob Bekenstein's realization that black holes have entropy. Steven Hawking raised profound issues concerning the loss of information in black hole evaporation and the consistency of quantum mechanics in a world with gravity.

• Sommario/riassunto: The major goal of this conference is therefore to bring together practitioners and scholars from all areas to discuss, demonstrate and exchange research ideas within the scope of fuzzy theory and its applications The iFuzzy was initiated and hosted by the Taiwan Fuzzy System Association (TFSA) in 2012 To provide better opportunities to disseminate the research results presented at the conference, accepted papers would be published in the proceeding of iFuzzy 2016 and also be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library optionally At this conference, we have a session for the special issue of International Journal of Fuzzy Systems (IJFS) This journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) It well be a question and answer session for elected papers and the session is open to all the audience The guest editors will decide whether to accept those paper to be published in the coming issue of International Journal of Fuzzy Systems on site.
