THE 11TH INTERNATIONAL FLINS CONFERENCE ON DECISION MAKING AND SOFT COMPUTING (FLINS 2014), August 17-20, 2014, João Pessoa (Paraíba), Brazil
Call for Papers
---------------
FLINS, an acronym originally for Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent Technologies
in Nuclear Science, is now extended into a well-established international
research forum to advance the foundations and applications of
computational intelligence for applied research in general and for complex
engineering and decision support systems. The principal mission of FLINS
is bridging the gap between machine intelligence and real complex systems
via joint research between universities and international research
institutions, encouraging interdisciplinary research and bringing
multi-discipline researchers together.
FLINS 2014 is the eleventh in a series of conferences on computational
intelligence systems. The conference will be held in João Pessoa, the 2nd
greenest city in the world, located in the Eastermost point of Americas.
It follows the successful FLINS 1994 (Mol), FLINS 1996 (Mol), FLINS 1998
(Antwerp), FLINS 2000 (Bruges), FLINS 2002 (Gent), FLINS 2004
(Blankenberge), FLINS 2006 (Genova), FLINS 2008 (Madrid), FLINS 2010
(Chengdu), FLINS 2012 (Istanbul). FLINS 2014 will be again included in the
ISI proceedings as previous ones. Special issues of SCI indexed journals
will be devoted to a strict refereed selection of extended papers.
All accepted papers (oral and poster presentations) will be published as a
book by World Scientific. Some selected papers will be published in the
well-known international journals (SCI or EI indexed).
A Doctoral Symposium is been organized specially for PhD students at any
stage and from any subject area within soft computing and decision-making.
Please contact Irina Perfilieva (Irina.Perfilieva@osu.cz) or Etienne E.
Kerre (etienne.kerre@ugent.be) or Yang Xu (xuyang@home.swjtu.edu.cn).
