The International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning (IDEAL) is an annual international conference dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data analytics and associated learning systems and paradigms. Its core themes include: the Big Data challenges, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Data Mining, Information Retrieval and Management, Bio- and Neuro-Informatics, Bio-Inspired Models (including Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computation and Swarm Intelligence), Agents, Autonomous and Hybrid Intelligent Systems, as well as Real-world Applications of Intelligent Techniques. Other related and emerging themes and topics are also welcome. After recent successful events, IDEAL 2014 (Salamanca, Spain), IDEAL 2013 (Hefei, China), IDEAL 2012 (Natal, Brazil), IDEAL 2011 (Norwich, England), the 16th edition, IDEAL 2015, will be held in the exciting, metropolis city, Wroclaw, Poland on 14-16 October 2015.

The conference provides a unique opportunity and stimulating forum for presenting and discussing the latest theoretical advances and real-world applications in Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Data Analysis. Authors and researchers are warmly invited to submit their latest findings and research work to the conference. Special session organizers are warmly invited to submit their proposals to the organizers.

Instructions for Authors:

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts (in pdf format) written in English by the deadline via the conference online submission system (available in due time). All submissions will be refereed by experts in the field based on originality, significance, quality and clarity. All contributions must be original, should not have been published elsewhere and must not be submitted elsewhere during the review period. Papers should not usually exceed 8 pages and must comply with the format of Springer LNCS/LNAI Proceedings. (see https://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0)

All submissions will undergo rigorous peer review process. Accepted papers (main conference and special sessions) will be included in the Proceedings of IDEAL 2015, to be published by Springer in its prestigious LNCS series. In addition, selected papers will be invited for special issues in leading international journals in the field, including the International Journals of Neural Systems (IJNS).


Venue:

IDEAL 2015 will take place in Wroclaw, the chief city in south-western Poland. Over the centuries the city has been either part of Poland, Bohemia, Austria, Prussia or Germany. Wroclaw is an excellent example of a multicultural metropolis situated at the interface of ethnically diverse areas. The architecture of Wroclaw reflects its history, which dates back almost one thousand years.
