International Seminar on Computational Intelligence 2006
Tijuana Mexico, October 9-11, 2006

 

General Chair: Prof. Dr. Patricia Melin, Tijuana Institute of Technology  -Mexico

Program Chairs: Prof. Dr. Eduardo Gomez-Ramirez La Salle University, Mexico,

                                Prof. Dr. Oscar Castillo, Tijuana Institute of Technology  -Mexico

Description

The International Seminar will consist of papers describing research work that integrate different Computational Intelligence (CI) methodologies for the development of hybrid intelligent systems. CI methodologies at the moment include (at least) Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, Genetic Algorithms, Intelligent Agents, and Chaos Theory. The use of intelligent techniques, like neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms, for real-world problems is now widely accepted. However, still the performance of any of these techniques can be improved, in many situations, by using them in conjunction with other techniques. For example, genetic algorithms can be used to optimize the design of a neural network for time series prediction, or fuzzy logic can be used to combine the information from expert neural modules, just to mention two cases. Also, mathematical methods, like the ones from Chaos and Fractal Theory, can be used in conjunction with intelligent techniques to improve the performance of hybrid systems for real-world applications. The international seminar will consist of papers addressing these hybrid approaches and similar ones, either theoretically or for real-world applications. Also, distinguished internationally recognized invited speakers will give lectures on the main areas of CI. The seminar is intended primarily for researchers and graduate students working on these research areas.

Topics of interest (not limited to)

1.      Successful new applications to real-world problems of CI techniques that are found to achieve better results than conventional techniques. In this case, special attention should be given to the metrics used to compare CI techniques with conventional ones.

2.      Developments of innovative hybrid methods combining CI techniques and conventional techniques. In this case, the problems to be considered in these papers may not be as complex as the ones in the previous point, but the authors have to explain very carefully how their proposed method could be used, in the future, to solve real-world problems.

3.      Papers considering original research on new CI architectures, models or techniques are also welcome, but the authors would have to make a detailed description of how their proposed approach is compared with other related approaches.

Format and Submission Procedure


Papers must be send by email, by the prospective authors, to the General Chair and the Program Chairs. The paper must be send as a PDF or word attachment with their email message. The papers will then be distributed to the Reviewers for evaluation according to their originality, technical soundness, writing, etc. (At least two reviewers per paper). Notifications of acceptance will then be send to the authors by email. The authors of accepted papers would then be asked to present it at the seminar, and send their registration form by the due date. The Proceedings (In CD form) will be prepared for distribution at the Seminar.
Selected papers will be considered, after improvements, for a Special Issue in Journal of Engineering Letters or International Journal of Non-Linear Studies.
