*** Submission Deadline: 15 March 2005 ***
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS, SPECIAL SESSIONS, AND SPONSORSHIP
The ICNC'05-FSKD'05 will feature the most up-to-date research results in computational algorithms inspired from nature, including biological, ecological, and physical systems. It is an exciting and emerging inter-disciplinary area in which a wide range of techniques and methods are being studied for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems. The joint conferences will also promote cross- fertilization over these exciting and yet closely-related areas. Registration to either conference will entitle a participant to the proceedings and technical sessions of both conferences, as well as the conference banquet, buffet lunches, and tours to some attractions in Changsha.
Specific areas include, but are not limited to neural computation, evolutionary computation, quantum computation, DNA computation, chemical computation, information processing in cells and tissues, molecular computation, computation with words, fuzzy computation, granular computation, artificial life, swarm intelligence, ants colony, artificial immune systems, etc., with applications to knowledge discovery, finance, operations research, and more.
Publications ------------ The ICNC'05 and FSKD'05 conference proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI), respectively. Both the LNCS and LNAI are indexed in SCI-Expanded. A selected number of authors will be invited to expand and revise their papers for possible inclusions in peer-reviewed international journals / edited books.
Special Sessions ---------------- In addition to regular sessions, participants are encouraged to organize special sessions on specialized topics. Each special session should have at least 4 papers. Special session organizers will solicit submissions and conduct reviews on the submitted papers. Proposals for special sessions should be sent to the respective Program Chairs, i.e., Ke Chen (neural computation, Ke.Chen@manchester.ac.uk) Yew Soon Ong (other topics in ICNC'05, asysong@ntu.edu.sg) Yaochu Jin (FSKD'05, yaochu.jin@honda-ri.de)
Keynote Speakers ---------------- Shun-ichi Amari, Japan Aike Guo, China Nikhil R. Pal, India Xin Yao, UK
About Changsha, Hunan, China ---------------------------- Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, is a historic and cultural city in southern China and a busy port on the Xiangjiang River, with a population over 6 million. Founded 3000 years ago, the city became the capital of the Zhou state (951-960 AD) and a leading commercial center during the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD). Changsha International Airport is easily accessible with direct flights to all major domestic and some international destinations. Other famous tourist destinations in Hunan include the Zhangjiajie National Park (natural heritage listed by UN) and Fenghuang (Phoenix) Ancient City.
