The International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and
Automated Learning (IDEAL) is an annual international conference
dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data
analysis, data mining and their associated learning systems and
paradigms. Its core themes include: the Big Data challenges, Machine
Learning, Data Mining, Information Retrieval and Management, Bio- and
Neuro-Informatics, Bio-Inspired Models (including Neural Networks,
Evolutionary Computation and Swarm Intelligence), Agents and Hybrid
Intelligent Systems, and Real-world Applications of Intelligent
Techniques. Other related and emerging themes and topics are also
welcome.

The conference provides a unique opportunity and stimulating forum to
present and discuss the latest theoretical advances and real-world
applications in Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Data
Analysis. Authors and researchers are warmly invited to submit their
latest findings and research work to the conference.

Potential session/workshop organizers are invited to enlist potential
papers in a cohesive topic for their special session(s)/workshops.
Proposals and enquiries can be sent to the Programme Co-Chair, Frank
Klawonn (f.klawonn at ostfalia.de).
