Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of modern
artificial/computational intelligence concerned with the development of the
next generation of intelligent systems. A fundamental stimulus to the
investigations
of Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS) is the awareness in the academic
communities that
combined approaches will be necessary if the remaining tough problems in
artificial/computational intelligence are to be solved. Recently, Hybrid
Intelligent Systems
are getting popular due to their capabilities in handling several real
world complexities
involving imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness. HIS'07 builds on the
success of last year's.
HIS'07 was held during September 17-19, 2007, Kaiserslautern - Germany
and attracted
participants from several countries.
HIS'08 is the Eighth International conference that brings together
researchers, developers,
practitioners, and users of soft computing, computational intelligence,
agents, logic programming,
and several other intelligent computing techniques. The aim of HIS'08 is
to serve as a forum to
present current and future work as well as to exchange research ideas in
this field.
HIS'08 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work
that demonstrates current
research using soft computing, computational intelligence and other
intelligent computing
techniques and their applications in science, technology, business and
commerce.
HIS'08 will focus on the following themes:
* Hybrid Intelligent Systems: Architectures and Applications
* Soft Computing for Image and Signal Processing
* Intelligent Internet Modeling, Communication and Networking
* Intelligent Data mining
* Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
* Intelligent Business Information Systems
* Soft Computing for Control and Automation
* Multi Agent Systems and Applications
* Special topics
(See the full topic list at
http://his2008.lsi.upc.edu/call-for-papers-topic-list.html)
Submitted papers should be original and contain contributions of
theoretical, experimental or
application nature, or be unique experience reports.
Papers must be submitted no later than May 31, 2008 and electronic
submission in PDF is required. The page limit for a full-length paper is
6 pages. All submissions should be in the IEEE 8.5 two-column format.
Papers should contain up to 5 keywords.
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and
soundness, and will be reviewed by at least three or more independent
reviewers.
Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
Selected papers presented at the conference will be considered for
publication in special issues of several international Journals.
The HIS'08 Program Committee will select one winner for the Best Paper
Award (all regular papers are eligible)
and one winner for the Best Student Paper Award. For the best student
paper award, the student must be the sole author
of the paper or the first author and primary contributor. A cover letter
(clearly stating the satisfaction of the above mentioned requirement) to
the General Chair/Program Chair
must identify the paper as a candidate for this competition at the time
of submission. The award winners will each be presented
with an award certificate and a direct payment of 500 Euros at the
conference, and an extended version of
the award-winning papers will be considered for publication in the
International Journal of Hybrid Intelligent Systems (IJHIS).
It is assumed that all accepted manuscripts would be presented at the
conference. All accepted papers must be accompanied by a full paid
registration to appear in the proceedings.
All full papers are to be submitted in PDF electronically via the web site.
