Technical Community on Multiple-Valued Logic

The Technical Community on Multiple-Valued Logic (TCMVL) of the IEEE Computer Society promotes research in the theory and application of many-valued systems. Its scope includes Multiple-Valued Logic devices and circuits, algebra and formal aspects, fuzzy systems and soft computing, quantum and reversible computing, philosohpical aspects, spectral techniques, and related topics.

The TCMVL sponsors a symposium each May, the International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL) and cosponsors the annual Post-Binary ULSI Systems Workshop. Many TCMVL members also attend the biennial Reed-Muller Workshop and International Workshop on Reversible Computing that focuses on topics of interest to the TCMVL community. TCMVL members also publish papers in the IEEE Transactions and the Journal of Multiple-Valued Logic and Soft Computing. The TCMVL maintains a mailing list of all members and sends newsletters to members.
