Author Representations
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before, and that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities-tacitly or explicitly- at the institute where the work has been carried out. The Organizing Committee will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.

Permission
An author, when quoting from someone else's work or when considering reproducing figures or table from a book or journal article, should make sure that he is not infringing a copyright. Although in general an author may quote from other published works, he should obtain permission from the holder of the copyright if he wishes to make substantial extracts or to reproduce tables, plates or other figures. If the copyright holder is not the author of the quoted or reproduced material, it is recommended that the permission of the author should also be sought. Material in unpublished letters and manuscripts is also protected and must not be published unless permission has been obtained. Submission of a paper will be interpreted as a statement that the author has obtained all the necessary permission. A suitable acknowledgement of any borrowed material must always be made.

Manuscript Preparation
The following topics are generally submitted, however, authors are not limited to these topics: Fuzzy Theory, algorithm and System, Interdisciplinary field of Fuzzy Logic and Data Mining, Fuzzy Application, Data Mining. For more detailed information please click here.
Papers submitted must conform to accepted standards of technically written English. Either US or UK English is acceptable as long as usage is consistent throughout. The editors of the FSDM2015 Organizing Committee are not responsible for correcting errors in grammar or spelling. Articles requiring extensive English revisions may be rejected without review or referred to a professional copy editing service before acceptance.
Use of an editing service is neither a requirement nor a guarantee of acceptance for publication.
