ICIC2012 Call for Papers
July 25-29, 2012
Huangshan, China
(http://www.ic-ic.org/20122/index.htm)

ICIC 2012 is financially supported by the National Science Foundation of China and technically co-sponsored by The IEEE Computational Intelligence Society and The International Neural Network Society.

This is the Eighth International Conference on Intelligent Computing, which is built upon the success of ICIC'05, ICIC'06, ICIC'07, ICIC'08 ICIC'09, ICIC'10 and ICIC'11 held in Hefei, Kunming, Qingdao and Shanghai, China, and Ulsan, Korea and Changsha, Zhengzhou, China respectively. The intelligent computing annual conference primarily aims to promote the research, development and application of advanced intelligent computing techniques by providing a vibrant and effective forum across a variety of disciplines. This conference has a further aim of increasing the awareness of industry of advanced intelligent computing techniques and the economic benefits that can be gained by implementing them.

The intelligent computing technology includes a range of techniques such as Artificial Intelligence, Pattern Recognition, Evolutionary Computing, Informatics Theories and Applications, Computational Neuroscience & Bioscience, Soft Computing, Human Computer Interface Issues, etc.

ICIC theme unifies the picture of contemporary intelligent computing techniques as an integral concept that highlights the trends in advanced computational intelligence and bridges theoretical research with applications. Therefore, the theme for this conference is Advanced Intelligent Computing Methodologies and Applications. Papers related to this theme are especially solicited, including theories, methodologies, and applications in science and technology. Topics covering industrial issues/applications and academic research into intelligent computing will be included, but not limited to:
