The international conference on computational intelligence for modelling, control and automation will be held in Vienna, Austria on 10-12 December 2008. The conference provides a medium for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians and practitioners to address the important issues in computational intelligence, modelling, control and automation. The conference will consist of both plenary sessions and contributory sessions, focusing on theory, implementation and applications of computational intelligence techniques to modelling, control and automation. For contributory sessions, papers (4 pages or more) are being solicited. Several well-known keynote speakers will address the conference.

Conference Proceedings will be published as books by IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering) in USA and will be index world wide. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers.

Topics of the conference include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Modern and Advanced Control Strategies: Neural Networks Control, Fuzzy Logic Control, Genetic Algorithms and Evolutionary Control, Model-Predictive Control, Adaptive and Optimal Control, Intelligent Control Systems, Robotics and Automation, Fault Diagnosis, Intelligent agents, Industrial Automations, Modelling, Simulation

Hybrid Systems: Fuzzy Evolutionary Systems, Fuzzy Expert Systems, Fuzzy Neural Systems, Neural Genetic Systems, Neural-Fuzzy-Genetic Systems, Hybrid Systems for Optimisation

Data Analysis, Prediction and Model Identification: Signal Processing, Prediction and Time Series Analysis, System Identification, Data Fusion and Mining, Knowledge Discovery, Intelligent Information Systems, Image Processing, and Image Understanding, Parallel Computing applications in Identification & Control, Pattern Recognition, Clustering and Classification

Decision Making and Information Retrieval: Case-Based Reasoning, Decision Analysis, Intelligent Databases & Information Retrieval, Dynamic Systems Modelling, Decision Support Systems, Multi-criteria Decision Making, Qualitative and Approximate-Reasoning

Paper Submission Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, correctness, and clarity of presentation. Papers (4 pages or more) should be submitted to the following e-mail or through conference website: E-mail: cimca@canberra.edu.au CIMCA'2008 Secretariat School of Information Sciences and Engineering University of Canberra, Canberra, 2616, ACT, Australia

Electronic submission of papers (either by E-mail or through conference website) is preferred. Papers should present original work, which has not been published or being reviewed for other conferences.

Important Dates 29 August 2008 Submission of papers to the conference 26 September 2008 Notification of acceptance 17 October 2008 Deadline for camera-ready copies of accepted papers 10 - 12 December 2008 Conference sessions

Special Sessions and Tutorials Special sessions and tutorials will be organised at the conference. The conference is calling for special sessions and tutorial proposals. All special session proposals should be sent to the conference chair (by email to: masoud.mohammadian@canberra.edu.au) on or before 4th of August 2006. CIMCA'06 will also include a special poster session devoted to recent work and work-in-progress. Abstracts are solicited for this session. Abstracts (3 pages limit) may be submitted up to 30 days before the conference date.

Visits and social events Sightseeing visits will be arranged for the delegates and guests. A separate program will be arranged for companions during the conference.
