1st Call for Papers
10th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems

HIS 2010
=====================================================================
http://www.mirlabs.org/his10

Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2010


 ========================
 = Conference Objective =
 ========================

Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of
modern artificial/computational intelligence concerned with the
development of the next generation of intelligent systems. A
fundamental stimulus to the investigations of Hybrid Intelligent
Systems (HIS) is the awareness in the academic communities that
combined approaches will be necessary if the remaining tough problems
in artificial/computational intelligence are to be solved. Recently,
Hybrid Intelligent Systems are getting popular due to their
capabilities in handling several real world complexities involving
imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness. HIS'10 builds on the success
of last year's HIS'09, which took place in Shenyang, China, August
12-14, 2009.

HIS'10 is the Tenth International conference that brings together
researchers, developers, practitioners, and users of soft computing,
computational intelligence, agents, logic programming, and several
other intelligent computing techniques. The aim of HIS'10 is to serve
as a forum to present current and future work as well as to exchange
research ideas in this field.

HIS'10 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work
that demonstrate current research using soft computing, computational
intelligence and other intelligent computing techniques and their
applications in science, technology, business and commerce.


 ======================
 = Topics of Interest =
 ======================

HIS'10 will focus on the following themes:

Hybrid Intelligent Systems: Architectures
- Interactions between neural networks and fuzzy inference systems.
- Artificial neural network optimization using global optimization
techniques.
- Fuzzy clustering algorithms and optimization techniques.
- Fuzzy inference system optimization using global optimization
algorithms.
- Hybrid computing using neural networks - fuzzy systems -
evolutionary algorithms.
- Hybrid optimization techniques (evolutionary algorithms, simulated
annealing, tabu search, GRASP etc.).
- Hybrid of soft computing and statistical learning techniques.
- Models using inductive logic programming, logic synthesis,
grammatical inference, case-based reasoning etc.
- Autonomic computing.
- Hybridizatiion with novel computing paradigms: Qantum computing, DNA
computing, membrane computing etc.

Hybrid Intelligent Systems: Applications
- Image and Signal Processing
- Internet Modeling, Communication and Networking
- Data mining
- Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
- Business Information Systems
- Control and Automation
- Special topics


=========================
= Submission Guidelines =
=========================

A full paper (6 pages, A4 size) for oral presentation should be
formatted following the IEEE format. Formating instructions and
submisison link can be found on the HIS 2010 website
http://www.mirlabs.org/his10.

Like previous HIS editions, we expect the proceedings to be published
by CPS, a division of IEEE CS Press. Selected papers will be published
in several Journal special issues.
