CALL FOR PAPERS ************************************************************ 13th International Conference on Fuzzy Theory and Technology (FT&T) Track of the 11th Joint Conference on Information Science (JCIS-2008) ************************************************************ http://www.jcis.org.cn
December 15-20, 2008, Shenzhen, China Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen Graduate School JCIS, The Joint Conference of Information Sciences, announces the next edition of its 13th International Conference on Fuzzy Theory and Technology (FT&T 2008) , to be held at the Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzen, China from December 15th to 20th, 2008. The earlier events in this series featured many eminent researchers on fuzzy logic theory and applications, invited speakers, as will be the case this year as well. See http://www.jcis.org.cn for information on past events as well as updates on this conference. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original/high quality and unpublished research in the top research areas listed below (but not limited to). This year we are accepting papers on the latest research topics. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be made available at the time of the conference. Special issues for the selected high quality papers have been proposed to the following SCI-index and Expanded journals; - Journal of Multiple-Valued Logic and Soft Computing (confirmed) - Information Sciences, Elsevier (awaiting confirmation) - Expected Computer Science Journals from Elsevier (awaiting confirmation) Paper Submission: Authors may submit drafts of full papers or extended abstracts. The submission must not exceed 12 pages in Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes LaTeX style. If appropriate, proof details omitted in the paper may be added in an appendix meant for the reviewers. Concurrent submissions to other conferences/journals are not admissible. For an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, one of the authors must commit to presenting the paper at the conference. *********************** Special Sessions Proposals: *********************** You are also welcome to organize a special session on a related topic of your choice. Invited/special session organizers are expected to: - Obtain five or six papers on the session topics; - Have each of the papers reviewed by at least two experts; - Provide soft and hard copy final camera-ready papers according to the instructions-to-authors of the conference; - Attend the conference and chair the session. - Submit a proposal for an invited/special session by sending the following details via email to the FT&T 2008 at [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Name and a brief biography of each organizer (about half a page); - Title and a 100-150 words abstract of the proposed session; - Names, titles and contact information of all presenters; - Brief biographies of all presenters (75 words or less). *********************** Workshops & Special Sessions: *********************** 1) Type-2 Fuzzy Systems and Applications (Session Chairs: Prof. I.Burhan Turksen [EMAIL PROTECTED] , Asli Celikyilmaz [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 2) Knowledge extraction from User Generated Content (Session Chairs: Dr. Marcus Thint [EMAIL PROTECTED] , Dr. Simon Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) *********************** Important Dates: *********************** Paper Submission July 20th, 2008 Notification of acceptance September 20th, 2008 Final camera ready papers due October 10th, 2008 Deadline for conference registration November 15th, 2008 *********************** FT&T Track Topics: *********************** FT&T 2008 conference will cover the whole range of research and applications in fuzzy systems and soft computing, including (but not limited to): · Computational Intelligence with Software Engineering · Computing with words, granular computing, rough sets, fuzzy human computer interaction · Fuzzy information processing - information extraction and retrieval, fusion, text mining · Advances in Text/Natural Language Analysis, Precisiated Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics · Fuzzy AI - knowledge discovery, learning, reasoning, agents, knowledge representation · Fuzzy sets and Systems - Type-1 and Type-2 · Fuzzy control and robotics, sensors, fuzzy hardware, fuzzy architectures · Fuzzy data mining- clustering and classification, pattern recognition, bio-informatics, fuzzy clustering with focus on text corpus · Fuzzy image, speech and signal processing, vision and multimedia · Fuzzy optimization and design, decision analysis and support · Fuzzy systems and the internet - semantic web, ontology, searching, networks and routing, intrusion detection · Mathematical foundations of fuzzy systems · Soft computing and hybrid systems - adaptive, hierarchical, evolutionary, neural and nature-inspired systems · Web mining techniques for targeted information, characterizations of user generated content and systems · Analysis of User generated content on the web · Studies on social intelligence and analysis methods · Industrial, financial and medical applications Contact: 13th Fuzzy Theory and Technology Conference, General Chair Prof. I.
