> Conference Objective:
> The International Conference on Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition
> (SoCPaR) is a major international conference bringing together
> researchers, engineers, and practitioners who work in the areas of
> soft computing and pattern recognition in the industry and real world.
> Every year, SoCPaR attracts authors from over 30 countries. After the
> success of the Seventh edition, which was held in Japan, this year
> event will be held in Vellore, India. SoCPaR'16 invites novel
> contributions/papers of soft computing and pattern recognition from
> fundamental aspects to various practical applications. All accepted
> and registered papers will be included in the conference proceedings
> to expected be published by Springer.

> The International Conference on Computational Aspects of Social
> Network (CASoN) is a major international conference that brings
> together an  interdisciplinary venue for social scientists,
> mathematicians, computer  scientists, engineers, computer users, and
> students to exchange and
> 
> share their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all
> aspects (theory, applications and tools) of intelligent methods
> applied  to Social Network, and to discuss the practical challenges
> encountered  and the solutions adopted. Industrial Workshop/Tutorials
> and conference  sessions will allow individuals interested in the
> theory, methods, or  applications of social network analysis to share
> ideas and explore common interests. All accepted and registered papers
> will be included in the conference proceedings to expected be
> published by Springer.
