The 2014 10th International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC 2014) and the 2014 11th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD 2014) will be jointly held from 19-21 August 2014 in Xiamen, China. With a pleasant subtropical climate, Xiamen is known as one of the most beautiful and liveable cities in China. Famous attractions include Gulangyu Island (credited as a "garden on the sea", "architecture exhibition of ten thousand nations", "hometown of music" and "island of piano"), Hulishan Fortress (Guinness World Records on the biggest and smallest cannons), and South Putuo Temple.

As with past ICNC-FSKD conferences, all papers in conference proceedings will be submitted to both EI Compendex and ISTP (ISI Proceedings), as well as IEEE Xplore (ICNC-FSKD 2005-2012 have all been indexed in Ei Compendex). Extended versions of selected best papers will appear in an ICNC-FSKD special issue of the following SCI-indexed Journals:


1.Knowledge-Based Systems(Impact Factor: 4.104)
2.Neural Processing Letters (Impact Factor: 1.240)


ICNC-FSKD is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of data mining and intelligent methods inspired from nature, particularly biological, linguistic, and physical systems, with applications to computers, circuits, systems, control, communications, and more. This is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of theory and methodologies are being investigated and developed to tackle complex and challenging problems. The registration fee of US$410 includes proceedings, lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks, and all technical sessions.


Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts written in English. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field based on originality, significance, quality and clarity. Authors should use the Latex style files or MS-Word templates obtained from the conference site to format their papers. Authors should submit PDF files of their manuscripts via the online submission system. Submissions imply that the papers have not been submitted elsewhere and will not be submitted elsewhere for publications before the review decisions of this conference.
