WSC9: 9th Online World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial
Applications
September 20th - October 08th, 2004
** On the World Wide Web **
Conference URL: http://www.cs.nmt.edu/~wsc9/
Mirror: http://wsc9.softcomputing.net/
General Information about WSC9:
Original papers and tutorials are invited for the 9th Online World
Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications (WSC9) to be
held on the Internet. WSC9 aims at bringing together outstanding
research and developments in the field of soft computing (evolutionary
computation, fuzzy logic, neural networks, and their fusion) and its
applications across the world with the goal to publish high-quality
research quickly and with less cost. Accepted papers of WSC9 will be
published as an edited volume by Springer Verlag, Germany after the
conference. Moreover, extended versions of selected papers of the
conference will also be invited for a "fast track" submission for the
Elsevier Science Applied Soft Computing Journal.
We aim to have inspiring discussions between the authors and
participants, and make them visible to everyone on the Internet. There
will be a number of mirror sites around the world to make easier the
access to this major event. Please note that the registration is open to
everyone and it is completely free of charge.
June 04th, 2004
Deadline for submissions of regular papers, online survey paper
proposals and online tutorial proposals. Papers are submitted in
electronic form as PDF-files through the conference web site. Authors
are also encouraged to submit multi-media demonstrations (including
software etc.)
