As part of the conference programme, he delivered a tutorial entitled “Fuzzy Relational Calculus as a Fundamental yet Powerful Concept”.

The tutorial focused on fuzzy relational calculus as a fundamental and powerful framework for working with fuzzy relations. Special attention was paid to fuzzy relational compositions, their role in modelling relations between objects, and their importance for building transparent and interpretable models. The tutorial also discussed links to rough set theory and outlined possible application areas.

His participation in the programme of this international conference highlighted the long-standing involvement of the University of Ostrava and the Institute for Research and Applications of Fuzzy Modeling in global research on fuzzy modelling, uncertainty processing and intelligent systems.
