Conference Scope

General Track Sessions:


G1: Machine Learning, Artificial Neural Networks and Deep Learning

This track will cover both machine learning theoretical research and its applications. Contributions describing machine learning techniques applied to real-world problems and interdisciplinary research involving machine learning in different application fields with especial emphasis on the design of those systems, are particularly encouraged.

G2: Knowledge Based and Expert Systems

This track covers knowledge-based systems and expert systems, both theoretical research and its applications. Contributions using techniques in knowledge-based systems and expert systems applied to real-world problems, as well as interdisciplinary research involving knowledge-based systems and expert systems in different application fields, are particularly encouraged.

G3: Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems

This track covers both intelligent information and engineering systems, theoretical research and applications.

Intelligent information and engineering systems is a broad topic and includes contributions describing techniques handling real-world problems. It also includes research involving intelligent information and engineering in different application fields.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Natural Language Processing
Agent and Multi-Agent Systems
Bio-inspired Systems
Nature Inspired Methods and Optimization
Image Processing and Signal Processing
Machine & Computer Vision
Monitoring and Prediction
Speech Processing and Synthesis



G4: Industry Applications

This track covers Industry Applications. Contributions describing industry application techniques applied to real-world problems and interdisciplinary research involving industry applications in different application fields, with especial emphasis on industry, are particularly encouraged.



Invited Sessions

An invited session consists of a presentation session of 6 to 12 or more papers on a specific conference topic, organised as half or full day mini-conference. We invite senior scientists who have a special interest in a specific conference topic to take responsibility for an invited session, gathering papers from a range of research expertise around the world.

Researchers who would like to organise one or more Invited Sessions on topics falling within the scope of the conference are invited to submit a proposal for consideration.
