The Fourth IEEE International Workshop
on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology (WSTST
2005)
Call
for Papers
This advanced symposium brings together international soft
computing/computational intelligence researchers, developers,
practitioners, and users. The aim of WSTST is to serve as a forum
to present current and future work as well as to exchange
research ideas in this field. WSTST invites authors to submit
their original and unpublished work that demonstrate current
research in all areas of soft computing including intelligent
hybrid systems, agent-based systems, intelligent data mining,
decision support systems, cognitive and reactive distributed
artificial intelligence (AI), internet modeling, human interface,
and applications not only in science and technology but also in
economic and social systems.
WSTST'05
will focus on the following themes:
- Intelligent hybrid systems
- Fusion of soft computing and
hard computing
- Data mining and decision
support systems
- Intelligent agent-based
systems, cognitive and reactive distributed AI systems
- Internet modeling
- Human interface
- Chance discovery
- Applications
- Image and speech
signal processing, prediction, and control
- Robotics
- Biology and medicine
- Business and
management
- Artificial societies
- Chemicals,
pharmaceuticals and materials
- Environment
engineering
- Other applications
We invite you to submit a:
- full paper of 8 to 10 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for oral
presentation
- proposal to organize a technical session and/or workshop (see
the call for events proposals for more information).
Submitted papers have to be original, containing new and original
results. The proceedings of the Conference will be published by
Springer Verlag, Germany. The papers are to be formatted
according to the author's instructions found at the following
link:
The Springer LaTeX macros use
standard LaTeX packages - if you do not have these packages
please refer to www.dante.de/cgi-bin/ctan-index
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors
to register and present the paper. All full papers are to be
submitted in PDF electronically via the web site. Hard copies
should be sent only if electronic submission is not possible. All
papers will be peer reviewed by at least two independent referees
of the international program committee of WSTST'05.
