Janusz Kacprzyk received his M.S. degree in computer science and automatic control in 1970 from Warsaw University of Technology in Poland. He received his Ph.D. degree in systems analysis in 1977, and his D.Sc. ("habilitation") degrees in 1994, both from the Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland. From 1970 to present he has been employed at the Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, currently as full professor and Deputy Director for Research. In 1981-83 and in the springs of 1986 and 1988, he was a visiting professor at various American universities. His research interests include the use of soft computing, mainly fuzzy logic, in various areas related to intelligent systems, notably, decision making and optimization, control, database querying and information retrieval. Recently, he is working on the use of computing with words paradigms in various areas related to the above. In 1991 - 1995 he was a Vice-President of IFSA, and in 1995 - 1999 he was a member of the IFSA Board. He is one of fifteen Fellows of IFSA. Since 1999 he has been a member of EUSFLAT Board.
