OBJECTIVE

Hybridization provides the leverage to deal with complexity and
performance challenges imposed on intelligent systems and their
physical embodiment by current and emerging applications. The
conference goals are to provide a forum for advanced methods from
neural computing, machine learning, fuzzy logic, evolutionary
algorithms, agent-based methods, quantum computing, and related
techniques and their combination to efficient systems answering
challenges from all disciplines of Science, Business, Engineering,
Automotive, Medicine, Health, Environment, Horticulture,
Agriculture,  Bio-security, Biometrics, Bioinformatics, or Social
Sciences. In  particular, approaches to systematic or automated
intelligent system  design, also explicitly including constraints of
physical  embodiments, distributed systems and implementations, as
well as  dynamic aspects of system evolution or adaptation to
changing  environment are a major focus of the conference.

Topics include but are not limited to:

  * Novel & hybrid methods of  soft computing, neural & evolutionary
    computing, signal & image processing
  * Methodology & frameworks for automated HIS design
  * HIS applications
  * Evolving/adaptive HIS
  * Intelligent Sensor systems
  * Self-monitoring sensor systems
  * Organic Computing systems
  * Wireless intelligent sensor systems
  * Distributed intelligent systems/sensor networks
  * Bio-inspired HIS hardware
  * Ambient Intelligence
  * Data visualization methods, systems, and applications
