GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT WSC11
Original papers are invited for the 11th Online World Conference on Soft
Computing in Industrial Applications (WSC11), to be held on the World Wide
Web, WSC11 aims at bringing together outstanding research and developments
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 previous WSC
conferences, Springer-Verlag has agreed to publish papers accepted for
publication at WSC11 as an edited volume (with ISSN), after the conference.
Furthermore, significantly revised and extended versions of a select set of
papers from the conference will be invited for a "fast track" submission to
the Elsevier Science (http://www.elsevier.com/) Applied Soft Computing
Journal. During the conference, interactive discussions will be hosted
between the authors and participants over 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. The WSC11 Program Committee would also like to
invite proposals for special sessions to be held during the conference. All
special sessions are to be organized around a specific topic in order to
encourage in-depth discussions. Special sessions will be an integral part of
the conference. WSC11 is now also inviting online tutorial proposals in
topics related to soft computing in industrial applications. All accepted
online tutorials will be held during the dates for WSC11. Conference related
information will be posted at: http://www.gtsav.gatech.edu/drl/wsc11.
