WSC10: 10th Online World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications
September 19th - October 7th, 2005
** On the World Wide Web **
Conference URL: www.cranfield.ac.uk/wsc10
Hosted by Cranfield University, UK
WSC10 is sponsored by the World Federation of Soft Computing (WFSC), European Neural Network Society (ENNS),
North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS), and
European Society for Fuzzy Logic and Technology (EUSFLAT)
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT WSC10
Original papers are invited for the 10th Online World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications (WSC10) to be held on the Internet. WSC10 aims at bringing together outstanding research and developments in the field of soft computing (evolutionary computation, fuzzy logic, neural networks, and their fusion) and its applications, from across the world. Papers are published on-line with the dual benefits of rapid dissemination and reduced cost. Springer Verlag has also agreed to publish accepted papers of WSC10 as an edited volume (with ISBN), after the conference. Furthermore, extended versions of selected papers of the conference will be invited for a "fast track" submission to the Elsevier Science Applied Soft Computing Journal.
During the conference, we will host interactive discussions between the authors and participants across the Internet. There will be a number of mirror sites around the world to ensure easy and rapid access to this major event from all locations. The registration to the conference is open to all (academics, students and industrial/commercial parties) and is completely free of charge.
