featuring a fast-track option for Applied Soft Computing journal

Dear Colleague,
we would like to inform you of the forthcoming 10th edition of the "Application of 
Nature-inspired Techniques for Communication Networks and other Parallel and Distributed 
Systems" (EvoCOMNET), to be held in Vienna, Austria,  3-5 April 2013 as a part of 
EvoStar 2013 EvoApplications Conference.

This year’s edition is technically sponsored by the World Federation on 
Soft Computing www.softcomputing.org.

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of EvoApplications, published in a volume 
of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer.

Furthermore, a selection of the best accepted papers, suitably revised and extended, 
will be eligible for fast-track publication in Applied Soft Computing journal by 
Elsevier (impact factor 2.612), thanks to the technical sponsorship offered by the 
World Federation on Soft Computing.

SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST

Papers relevant to EvoCOMNET should show the application of Evolutionary Computation 
techniques, or of hybrid methods containing evolutionary issues, to the solution of 
real-world problems in fields where a network, be it physical or logical, is present. 

Examples of such fields include, among others:
o	communication networks
o	sensor networks
o	mobile networks
o	graphs
o	parallel and distributed optimization algorithms
o	grid and cloud computing
o	transportation
o	supply
o	logistics
o	traffic
o	financial network systems
o	and so on
