The abuse of history is common and quite possibly once more on the rise. Although this is well documented, there is no general theory that enables historians to identify, prove, explain, and evaluate the many types of abuse of history.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Fuzzy Systems Association World Congress, IFSA 2003, held in June/July 2003 in Istanbul, Turkey. The 84 papers presented together with 5 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected form 318 submissions. The papers address all current issues in the area and present the state of the art in fuzzy sets, fuzzy systems, and fuzzy logic and their applications in a broad variety of fields. The papers are divided in four parts on mathematical issues, methodological issues, application areas, and cross-disciplinary issues.
