[CFP] ICNC-FSKD 2016 Submissions due 16 May: Submitting to IEEE Xplore/EI Compendex/ISI, Journal SI

[icnc.f...@gmail.com]

Dear Colleague,

We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the upcoming 2016 12th
International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge
Discovery (ICNC-FSKD 2016), to be held from 13-15 August 2016 in Changsha,
China. The submission deadline is 16 May 2016.

Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, is a historic and cultural city in
southern China and a busy port on the Xiangjiang River, with a population over 6
million. Founded over 3000 years ago, the city became the capital of the Zhou
state (951-960 AD) and a leading commercial center during the Song dynasty
(960-1279 AD). Changsha International Airport is easily accessible with direct
flights to all major domestic and some international destinations. Other famous
tourist destinations in Hunan include the Zhangjiajie National Park (natural
heritage listed by the UN) and Fenghuang (Phoenix) Ancient City.

As with the past ICNC-FSKD conferences, all papers in conference proceedings
will be submitted to both EI Compendex and ISTP (ISI Proceedings), as well as
IEEE Xplore (all previous ICNC-FSKD conferences from 2005 to 2014 have been
indexed in Ei Compendex). Extended versions of selected best papers will appear
in SCIE-indexed international journals, such as Swarm and Evolutionary
Computation (Elsevier, SJR: 4.638), Applied Soft Computing (SCI/Elsevier, Impact
Factor: 2.810) and Journal of Computer and System Science (CCF Bo<IF: 1.2), as
well as EI-indexed international journals with 100+ papers (5 SCI-indexed and 3
Ei-index journal special issues for ICNC-FSKD 2015 invited more than 120
extended papers. The reviews are expected to complete in June 2016). ICNC-FSKD
2016 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society
(pending).

ICNC-FSKD is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to
present the state of the art of data mining and intelligent methods inspired
from nature, particularly biological, linguistic, and physical systems, with
applications to computers, circuits, systems, control, robotics, communications,
and more. This is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a
wide range of theory and methodologies are being investigated and developed to
tackle complex and challenging problems. The registration fee of US-D460
includes proceedings, lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks, and all
technical sessions.

To promote international participation of researchers from outside the
country/region where the conference is held (i.e., Chinab
