---------------------

After the success of the 5th International Conference of Soft
Computing and Pattern Recognition, SoCPaR 2014 is organized to bring
together worldwide leading researchers and practitioners interested in
advancing the state of the art in Soft Computing and Pattern
Recognition, for exchanging knowledge that encompasses a broad range
of disciplines among various distinct communities. It is hoped that
researchers and practitioners will bring new prospects for
collaboration across disciplines and gain inspiration to facilitate
novel breakthroughs. The themes for this conference are thus focused
on "Innovating and Inspiring Soft Computing and Intelligent Pattern
Recognition".

The conference is expected to provide an opportunity for the
researchers to meet and discuss the latest solutions, scientific
results and methods in solving intriguing problems in the fields of
soft Computing and Pattern Recognition. The conference program will
include workshops, special sessions and tutorials, along with
prominent keynote speakers and regular paper presentations in parallel
tracks. Like previous years, we expect the SoCPaR 2014 proceedings to
be published by IEEE subject to fulfilling of all quality requirements
of IEEE. The General Chairs, along with the entire team cordially
invite you to submit your latest research results in the fields of
Soft Computing and Intelligent Pattern Recognition, and to take part
in the upcoming conference, to be held on August 11-14 in Ramada Plaza
Tunis Hotel, Tunisia.

Like previous editions, all accepted papers presented at SoCPaR2014
will be selected and recommended for possible publication in Journal
Special Issues and Edited Volumes (indexed by SCI, EI Compendex,
etc.).

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socpar2014

All submissions should be in the IEEE 8.5 two-column format. The page
limit for a full-length paper is 6 pages. Short papers describing
novel research visions, work-in-progress or less mature results are
also welcome, with the limit of 4 pages. Please refer to the
conference website for guidelines to prepare your manuscript.

All accepted papers will be compiled in conference proceedings
published by the IEEE. It is mandatory at least an author registers
for every paper that is included in the conference proceedings.

Proceedings will be made available during the conference. Accepted
papers must be presented by author(s) personally to be published in
the conference proceedings.

Expanded versions of SoCPaR 2014 selected papers will be published in
special issues of internationally referred journals (indexed by SCI)
and edited volumes.
