Lotfi Zadeh Centenary Celebration
The IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (IEEE CIS) and the International Fuzzy Systems Association (IFSA) have decided to jointly celebrate the centenary of Lotfi A. Zadeh (1921-2017), to pay tribute to the creator of fuzzy set theory, an active member of both our societies.
We are pleased to give voice to those who knew him and appreciated him around the world to remind us what a scientist and what a man he was. A few videos prepared by some of his old friends will be posted on the page below. Many thanks to all those who provided photos from their collections to participate in this commemoration.
They will tell us about some of the moments spent with him. If you met Lotfi Zadeh, you are welcome to write short testimonials about his achievements and his personality and to upload photos with him in our Collabratec Community.

The IEEE History Center is a not-for-profit organization which relies on your support to preserve, research, and promote the legacy of electrical engineering and computing.
Mission and Resources
The mission of the IEEE History Center is to preserve, research and promote the history of information and electrical technologies. The Center maintains many useful resources for the engineer, for the historian of technology, and for anyone interested in the development of electrical and computer engineering and their role in modern society. The History Center building is not a museum, and does not contain artifacts or exhibits, being merely offices and the library. Visiting scholars and researchers are welcome to use our research library and archives, by appointment only. To make an appointment, please contact ieee-history@ieee.org and see the Center's location and contact information.
Most of the Center's resources are available online at the Engineering and Technology History Wiki. The Center’s holdings include the IEEE Archives, which consist of the unpublished records of IEEE and a collection of historical photographs relating to the history of electrical and computer technologies, and a collection of oral history transcripts of pioneering engineers. The Center runs several other programs, internships and fellowships relating to the history of IEEE and its technologies. Within IEEE, the History Center is part of IEEE Corporate Activities, and it is co-sponsored by Stevens Institute of Technology, where it is affiliated with the College of Arts and Letters. The Center's activities are documented by its Newsletter, published three times per year.
