SCIS-ISIS 2012 is the flagship international conference of Soft Computing in Asia, that attracts several hundred participants from all over the world. We strive to foster an open and lively scientific forum by bringing together researchers, engineers and practitioners with diversified backgrounds to discuss and disseminate the latest state-of-the-art achievements, thought provoking challenges and potential future directions in many different aspects. Our program is designed to maximize feasibility and satisfaction of participation at all levels in different ways. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Artificial Intelligence Bayesian Networks Bio-Inspire Model Bioinformatics Biometrics Brain Science Cognitive Science Complex Systems Computational Intelligence Data/Text Mining Decision Making and Risk Management Distributed Systems Education and Training Embedded Real-Time Systems Embodied Knowledge Evolutionary Computing Fault Detection and Diagnosis Fuzzy Control Fuzzy Sets and Logic Fuzzy Systems Granular Computing Hardware/Software Co-Design HumanâComputer Interaction and Interface Information Fusion Intelligent Control Intelligent Manufacturing Systems Intelligent Medical Systems Intelligent Systems Intelligent Transportation Systems Kansei Engineering Machine Learning Mathematical Models Mechatronics Design Micro/Nano Technology Mobile Machines Modeling and Simulation Multi-Agent Systems Multivariate Analysis Neural Networks Neuro-Fuzzy Pattern Recognition Perception Probabilistic Reasoning Robotics Rough Sets Semantic Web Skill Science Social Systems Virtual Reality Vision and Sensors Visualization Web Intelligence and Interaction Language. English is our official language of communication. Asian languages (e.g. Japanese, Korean and Chinese) may be available as a LIMITED assisting service of web announcement and E-mail correspondence. In case of any conflicts, English communication should be considered official. Organized session proposal. Interested organizers should prepare the following information and submit online. Alternatively, our Program Co-chairs (Special Organized Sessions) may contact and ask you to consider organizing some session(s) -- to assure broad participation from related subjects and fields. 1. Session title. 2. Organizer(s) (name, affiliation and E-mail address). 3. List of at least three (3) papers (tentative titles and their authors). 4. Presentation mode: oral or poster. Full paper. Authors are invited to prepare full papers of four (4) to six (6) pages (maybe extended up to eight (8) pages but subject to an additional fee) in IEEE style including results, figures, and references. All full papers should be submitted online. Full papers will be rigorously and competitively peer reviewed. All accepted full papers will be published in the conference proceedings and archived in IEEE Xplore (Pending Approval). Paper awards will be prized to outstanding full papers. In addition, revised and extended versions of selected papers will be invited to post-conference publications such as books and special issues of quality journals. For the readability assurance, English proofread service by qualified editors will be available upon requests from the authors. Full papers may be asked to reduce their length to be short papers when necessary. Short paper. Authors are invited to prepare short papers of two (2) to four (4) pages in IEEE style including results, figures, and references. All short papers should be submitted online. Short papers will be peer reviewed in a comprehensive manner. All accepted short papers will be published in the conference proceedings. English proofread service (full papers only). Full papers may be proofread by qualified editors, upon requests from the authors. This proofread is NOT a part of the peer review, thus is NEVER used for or against the acceptance decision making. The results will be returned electrically together with the peer review reports. Authors are responsible to (or not to) reflect the results together with suggestions from peer reviewers. In case of conflicts, authors should consider comments from reviewers more so than those from editors. When too many requests are placed, only selected papers will be proofread. Presentation. All accepted papers (full and short) will be invited to the conference presentations. Authors may request their preference from the following: *Oral on-site presentation (available for full papers only). *Oral teleconference presentation (available for full papers only). *Poster presentation (available for both full and short papers). All authors in an organized session should request the same option in consultation with the organizer(s). While the program committee will try their best to respect all the requests, please be aware that not all can necessarily be accommodated due to various constraints for the conference program development. Presentation awards will be prized to outstanding presentations. About the venue. SCIS-ISIS2012 will be held in Kobe, Japan, well known as the exotic, cosmopolitan port city. The city is surrounded by a rich set of culture and nature -- Kobe beef, Kobe sweets, classy foreign residences in Kitano-cho, Arima hot spring, and Mt. Rokko to list a few -- while maintaining their economical and technological significance such as headquarters of over 100 international corporations and the world's fastest supercomputer ('Kei'). Well-situated in the heart of Kansai, many historically and culturally attractive sites, including those in Kyoto and Osaka, are within its proximity and easily accessible with our efficient transportation. With so many things to see and do in the city and surrounding area, it is the ideal location for a few extra days of pre- or post-conference recreation. Last but not least, Kobe is safe and cozy -- far from the recent catastrophe if this is your concern. In fact, this is the best place for all prayers to be united -- as the role model of remarkable recovery from the previous one. (Ref. approx. distance from Kobe: 30km to Osaka, 80km to Kyoto and to Nara.) Conference organization chairs.
