Call for Papers & Invited Session Proposals
The 4th International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC'08) and the
5th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD'08)
will be jointly held in Jinan, China. Jinan is the capital of Shandong Province,
which is known for the home of Confucius, the Taishan Mountain, and the Baotu
Spring. ICNC'08-FSKD'08 aims to provide an international forum for scientists
and researchers to present the state of the art of intelligent methods inspired
from nature, including biological, ecological, and physical systems, with
applications to data mining, manufacturing, design, and more. It is an exciting
and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of techniques and
methods are being studied for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems.
Previously, the joint conferences in 2005, 2006 and 2007 each attracted over 3000
submissions from more than 30 countries.
All accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings published by the IEEE
and will be indexed by both EI (Compendex) and ISTP. Furthermore, extended
versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of Soft
Computing: An International Journal (SCI indexed).
To promote international participation of researchers from outside the
country/region where the conference is held (i.e., China), foreign experts are
encouraged to propose invited sessions. Each invited session should have at
least
4 papers. Invited session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews
and
recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers. All invited session
organizers will be acknowledged in the conference proceedings.
