SOCO 2011: 2nd CFP. Invited Plenary Speakers & Special Sessions/Workshops. * We apologize if you receive this CFP more than once. * PLEASE CIRCULATE this CFP among your colleagues and students. 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.
