wtc.ab.ca>Call FOR PAPER Fourth International ICSC Symposia on SOFT COMPUTING AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS FOR INDUSTRY June 26-29, 2001 Paisley, Scotland, U.K. General Information PURPOSE OF SOCO/ISFI 2001 The twin conferences, Soft Computing (SOCO 2001) and Intelligent Systems for Industry (ISFI 2001) are intended to cover the field of "soft computing" from pure blue-sky research (SOCO) to prototypes and applications of soft computing. Soft computing has become a term embracing artificial neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, belief networks, fuzzy sets and logics, etc. (A fuller list of topics appears below). AIM OF SOCO 2001 AND ISFI 2001 SOCO 2001 aims to be of broad interest to engineers, computer scientists and all who use such technologies. It will be a forum for the Dissemination of new research in the field of soft computing Introduction of application-oriented researchers to leading edge new research. ISFI 2001 will encourage practitioners and researchers from industry, commerce, education and governments to submit existing applications of soft computing either as technical papers or as demonstrations. ISFI 2001 aims to be a forum for the Dissemination of results on new applications in this field Introduction of pure research oriented personnel to applications of soft computing. Symposium Topics (SOCO'2001) Soco'2001 will include contributions on long term research (theory development, enhanced approaches, formal methods comparisons, applications, etc.) in the area of soft-computing. Contributions are sought in areas based on the list below, which is indicative only. Neural Networks Fuzzy Logic Rough Sets Genetic Algorithms and Evolutionary Computing Chaos Theory Al and Expert Systems Probabilistic Reasoning, belief nets Machine learning Learning Algorithms and Intelligent Control Pattern Recognition and Image Understanding Distributed Intelligence Self-Organizing Systems Fuzzy Databases and Information Retrieval Educational Aspects of Soft Computing International Program Committee (SOCO'2001) Peter G. Anderson, USA Gerardo Beni USA Franco Bignone, Italy Darryl Charles, U.K. Juan Corchado, Spain Andrej Dobnikar, Slovenia Gerard Dray, France Bogdan Gabrys, U.K. Marco Gori, Italy Amir Hussain, U.K. Bart Kosko, USA Laszlo Koczy, Hungary Ludmila Kuncheva, U.K. Franz Kurfess, USA Francesco Masulli, Italy Erzsebet Merenyi, USA Sadaaki Miyamoto, Japan Claudio Moraga, Germany Antonio di Nola, Italy Mark Plumbley, U.K. Henrik Saxen, Finland Nigel Steele, U.K. Leonard Studer, Switzerland Yoshinori Uesaka, Japan Chris Williams, Scotland Symposium Topics (ISFI'2001) ISFI'2001 will include contributions in the research area of Soft Computing Application and, more general, related to medium-to-short term and application driven developments Advanced Information Technology and Industrial Intelligent Technology. Particular emphasis will be laid on industrial realization, experimental application, application methodology development and/or formalization, quantitative and qualitative problem modelling. Contributions are sought mainly in the areas based on the list below: Industrial Area: Commerce, Energy, Transportation, Services, Medicine etc. High-Tech Area: Innovative Control and Diagnostics, Computer Vision, Robotics and Remote Sensing, Speech Recognition and Machine Translation, Mechatronics, etc. Green-tech Area: Intelligent Resource Management, Intelligent Pollutant Management, User Behavior Modelling, Intelligent Traffic Control, etc. International Program Committee (ISFI'2001) Arantza Aldea, Spain Zeungnam Bien, Korea Pierre Borne, France Hans-Heinrich Bothe, Denmark Douglas Campbell, U.K. Daniele Caviglia, Italy Vincent Chapurlat, France Richard D.

Alberto Servida, Italy Edward Szczerbicky, Australia Peter Vas, U.K. Leonello Zaquini, Italy The scientific program will include invited plenary talks, contributed sessions, invited sessions, and tutorials. Call for Invited Sessions The organization of invited sessions is encouraged. Prospective organizers are requested to send a session proposal (consisting of 4-5 invited papers, the recommended session-chair and co-chair, as well as a short statement describing the title and the purpose of the session) to the respective symposium chair or the congress organizer. Invited sessions should preferably start with a tutorial paper. The registration fee of the session organizer will be waived, if at least 4 authors of invited papers register to the conference. Poster Presentations Poster presentations are encouraged for people who wish to receive peer feedback and practical examples of applied research are particularly welcome. Poster sessions will allow the presentation and discussion of respective papers, which will also be included in the conference proceedings. Call for Workshops, Tutorials and Other Contributions Several workshops/tutorials are planned for SOCO/ISFI'2001. Each workshop/tutorial will focus on a particular topic, and consist of several presentations and open discussions. The proposal for a workshop/tutorial should include the title, topics covered, proposed speakers, targeted audiences, and estimated length (hours) of the workshop/tutorial. The proposal should be submitted either to the congress chair, the corresponding symposium chair or the congress organizer by January 15, 2001. Submission of Papers Prospective authors are requested to send a short biography and draft paper of maximum 7 pages for review by the International Program Committee. All submissions must be written in English, starting with a succinct statement of the problem, the results achieved, their significance and a comparison with previous work, as well as a list of references. The submissions should also include: - Title of symposium (SOCO 2001, ISFI 2001) - Type of paper (regular, demonstration, tutorial or invited) - Title of proposed paper - Authors names, affiliations, addresses - Name of author to contact for correspondence - E-mail address and fax # of contact author - Topics which best describe the paper (max. 7 keywords) Contributions are welcome from researchers, academics and practitioners active in any field of Soft Computing covered by the topics of the congress. Congress language is English. Invited sessions, tutorial papers and demonstrations are also encouraged. Prospective organizers are requested to submit a session proposal to the congress organizer.
