Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence has become an enabling technology that pervades many aspects of our daily life. At the forefront of this advancement are data-driven technologies like machine learning. However, as the role of Artificial Intelligence becomes more and more important, so does the need for reliable solutions to several issues that go well beyond technological aspects:
- How can we make automated agents justify their actions? and how to make them accountable for these actions?
- What will be the social acceptance of automated agents, possibly embodied (robots), in their interaction with people?
- How will automated agents be made aware of the whole spectrum of human nonverbal communication, so as to take it into account and avoid missing crucial messages?
- Is it possible to avoid amplifying human biases and ensure fairness in decisions that have been taken automatically?
- How can we enable collaborative intelligence amongst humans and machines?
Purely data-driven technologies are showing their limits precisely in these areas. There is a growing need for methods that, in a tight interaction with them, allow different degrees of control over the several facets of automated knowledge processing. The diversity and complementarity of Computational Intelligence techniques in addressing these issues is playing a crucial role.The 13th International Workshop on Fuzzy Logic and Applications (WILF 2020) covers all topics in theoretical, experimental and applied Fuzzy and Computational Intelligence techniques and systems. It is aimed to bring together researchers and developers from both academia and industry to report on the latest scientific and theoretical advances in this field, and to demonstrate the state-of-the-art systems.The WILF series is also aimed to highlight connections and synergies of Fuzzy Sets Theory with other Computational Intelligence paradigms (e.g., Deep and Shallow Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computation, Support Vector Machines, Natural Computing, Quantum Computing), Machine Learning approaches (e.g., Decision Tree, Support Vector Machines, Random Forest, Naive Bayes), Cognitive Science (e.g., Psychology, Philosophy, Neuroscience, Linguistics) and Explainable Artificial Intelligence, in order to reach a better understanding of both natural and artificial complex systems as well as computing systems, inspired by nature, which are able to solve complex problems.
Submission Guidelines
The main aim of WILF 2021 is to allow scientific communication and fruitful exchange of opinions. A lightweight approach is adopted to foster participation and promote the exchange of ideas.To provide room for discussing present, past and future research topics, the following types of talks are called for:
Regular communications: Current, unpublished work that is being presented for the first time. A standard-length time slot will be allowed for the presentation as well as for a subsequent discussion.
Ideas: New research directions, opinions, position talks: promising or interesting work that does not fit the standards for conventional publication. A shorter-length time slot will be allowed for the presentation, with more room for the subsequent discussion
Research highlights: Talks summarising work that was recently (3 years) published in prominent journals. These are intended to increase awareness about interesting work that might not receive the deserved attention because of the currently inflated landscape of scientific journals. A shorter-length time slot will be allowed for both the presentation and the discussion.

Publication
All talks should correspond to a written communication that will be submitted ahead of time, subject to peer review, and upon acceptance will be submitted to CEUR Workshop Proceedings for publication in a volume of the AI*IA proceedings series, under a CC-BY 4.0 license (http://ceur-ws.org/aixia.html). This means that proceedings will be free of charge, as well as of author publication charges, will be open-access, and copyright will be retained by authors. CEUR-WS proceedings are usually indexed in Scopus, although there is no explicit agreement.
Regular communications and ideas should be submitted in the form of a short paper (5 pages) that will be published as is, in their revised form after review. Conversely, research highlights should be submitted in the form of an abstract (1/2 to 1 page) that will be edited in digest form, along with other accepted submissions of the same type, and collectively published as a single contribution.
