2012 Online Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications

CALL FOR PAPERS

Hosted by VŠB - Technical University of Ostrava
Ostrava, Czech Republic

http://dap.vsb.cz/wsc17




The 17th Online World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications
(WSC17) will be held on the Internet from 3rd to 14th December 2012. Continuing
a tradition started over a decade ago by the World Federation of Soft Computing,
the WSC17 conference aims at bringing together outstanding research and develo-
pments in the field of soft computing (evolutionary computation, fuzzy logic,
neural networks, Bayesian networks, and their fusion) and its applications,
from across the world. Papers will be published on-line with the dual benefits
of rapid dissemination and reduced cost.

As with the previous conferences, papers accepted and presented at the WSC17
conference will also be published by Springer within the Advances In
Intelligent and Soft Computing series as an edited volume after the conference.
Furthermore, significantly revised and extended versions of selected papers
from the conference will be invited for a "fast track" submission to the
Elsevier Science Applied Soft Computing Journal.

During the conference, interactive discussions are hosted between the authors
and participants over the Internet. The registration to the conference is open
to all (academics, students and industrial/commercial parties) and is
completely free of charge.
