6th International Conference on Soft Computing Models in
Industrial and Environmental Applications
6th-8th April, 2011
Salamanca, Spain
http://soco.usal.es/
Soft computing represents a collection or set of computational
techniques in machine
learning, computer science and some engineering disciplines, which
investigate, simulate and analyze very complex issues and phenomena.
This workshop is mainly focused on its industrial applications.
SOCO 2011 provides interesting opportunities to present and discuss the
latest theoretical advances and real world applications in this
multidisciplinary research field.
SOCO 2011 will be held in the beautiful and historic city of Salamanca,
Spain.
With exceptional opportunities for sightseeing and gastronomy,
Salamanca is
a wonderful venue for a great conference.
