MSCCEC 2012
In conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Simulation and
Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications -

SIMULTECH 2012



Venue: Rome, Italy


Conference date: 28 - 31 July, 2012

SCOPE
The main objective of the session is to provide a forum to disseminate
and discuss recent and significant research efforts in

climate change and atmospheric sciences applications in modeling and
simulation based on Computational Intelligence which have

significant impact to society.
New, unusual and hybrid approaches used to deal with such applications
are particularly encouraged. The session is therefore

open to high quality submissions from researchers who should present
original research and applications including innovative

results.

Such applications could utilize the following topic areas of
computational intelligence (but are not limited to):
• Genetic Computational Intelligence Systems including adaptive,
hierarchical, evolutionary, neural and nature-inspired systems
• Hybrid systems of computational intelligence techniques
• Fuzzy optimization and design, decision analysis and support
• Fuzzy data analysis - clustering and classifiers, pattern
recognition, bio-informatics
• Knowledge discovery, learning, reasoning, agents, knowledge
representation
• Neural network theory & models
• Learning and adaptation Pattern recognition
• Neural control Hybrid systems
• Evolutionary neural systems Self-aware systems
• Complex systems Data mining and intelligent systems
• Constraint and uncertainty systems and applications
• Application optimization, decision analysis, decision making, multi-
criteria decision making
• Applications of data mining/knowledge discovery techniques to
improve understanding of environmental science datasets
