TARSKI is a concerted research action supported at European
level within the framework of COST.  COST provides a large
intergovermental platform for research co-operation in the
EU.  The TARSKI Action covers research on the Theory and
Applications of Relational Structures as Knowledge
Instruments. The main objective of TARSKI is to advance the
understanding and use of relational structures in applicable
object domains.

The TARSKI Workshop in Manchester will be the nineth event
organised since the start of the action in June 2001.  It will
be held September 12-13, 2004 in Manchester, UK.

The venue for the workshop will be the Chancellors Residential
Conference Centre of the University of Manchester. The

located not far from the University and the city centre.
Cheaper accommodation will be on offer in a student residence
hall within easy walking distance from the Chancellors
Conference Centre.

TOPICS
TARSKI is a broad interdisciplinary initiative. Participants'
interests range from fields such as preference modelling,
scaling methods, fuzziness and other soft computing, to work

algebraical or logical considerations, often supported by
implemented computer systems.
