Dear Colleagues,

This is a gentle reminder that the extended paper submission deadline of our
Special Session on Evolutionary Computing at ICCI 2010, Tsinghua University,
China is fast approaching (see http://www.it-weise.de/icciss/). Selected
papers from the special session will be further considered for publication
in some reputable journals (like EAAI) after the conference.

Special Session on Evolutionary Computing
of the 9th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Informatics (ICCI
2010)
July 7-9, 2010, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China

Brief Description

The Evolutionary Computing Session of the 9th IEEE International
Conference on Cognitive Informatics (ICCI 2010) invites the submission
of original and unpublished research papers. This special session will
provide a common forum for researchers and practitioners interested in
metaheuristic optimization algorithms such as evolutionary algorithms
and swarm intelligence algorithms together to exchange their ideas and
report their latest findings. All accepted papers in this session will
be included in the Proceedings of the ICCI'10 published by IEEE CS
Press and indexed by EI and DBLP. Selected papers will be considered
for publication in EAAI and other reputable journals.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithms, genetic programming,
  evolution strategies, differential evolution, and estimation of
  distribution algorithms  
- artificial life
- particle swarm optimization
- ant colony optimization
- integration of evolutionary computing techniques in intelligent
  systems
- implementation issues of evolutionary computing techniques
- evolutionary computing approaches for multi-objective optimization
- evolutionary computing approaches in knowledge discovery, natural
  language processing, image processing, pattern recognition, time series
  prediction, planning and scheduling, vehicle and arc routing problems,
  information security, etc
- applications of evolutionary computing in science and engineering
  problems


Instructions for Authors

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (6-8 pages) and
short papers (4-5 pages) in IEEE double column format as posted at

Hosting Event: The 9th IEEE International Conference on
               Cognitive Informatics (ICCI 2010)

Cognitive Informatics (CI) is a cutting-edge and transdisciplinary
research area that tackles the fundamental problems shared by modern
informatics, computing, AI, cybernetics, computational intelligence,
cognitive science, neuropsychology, medical science, systems science,
software engineering, telecommunications, knowledge engineering,
philosophy, linguistics, economics, management science, and life
sciences. CI is a transdisciplinary enquiry on the internal
information processing mechanisms and processes of the natural
intelligence - human brains and minds - and their engineering
applications in cognitive computing, computational intelligence, as
well as the information/communication technology and software
industries.

The development and the cross fertilization between the aforementioned
science and engineering disciplines have led to a whole range of
extremely interesting new research areas known as CI. Following the
first eight successful conferences on Cognitive Informatics (ICCI'02
through ICCI'09), the 9th IEEE Int'l Conference on Cognitive
Informatics (ICCI'10) focuses on the theme of Cognitive Computing and
Cognitive Communications. ICCI'10 welcomes researchers, practitioners,
and graduate students to join the international cognitive informatics
and cognitive computing initiative toward the investigation of
cognitive mechanisms and processes of human information processing,
and the development of next generation computers that learn and think.

Location: Beijing, China

Beijing, the capital of China, is among the most famous cultural and
historic cities in the world. It owns hundreds of temples, ancient
houses, museums, and parks. The top attractions of Beijing are the
Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Temple of
Heaven, the Tian'anmen Square, and the Ming Tombs. The Great Wall with
its worldwide fame is a historical must-see place. The Forbidden City,
also known as the Imperial Palace, is a city-within-a-city where the
emperor used to reside. The Summer Palace is the largest royal park
with lots of towers, temples, pavilions, bridges, and corridors.
