About SoCPaR'16 :

-------------------------

Conference Objective:
The International Conference on Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition (
SoCPaR) is a major international conference bringing together
researchers, engineers, and practitioners who work in the areas of soft
computing and pattern recognition in the industry and real world. Every
year, SoCPaR attracts authors from over 30 countries. After the success of
the Seventh edition, which was held in Japan, this year event will be held
in Vellore, India. SoCPaR'16 invites novel contributions/papers of
soft computing and pattern recognition from fundamental aspects to various
practical applications. All accepted and registered papers will be included
in the conference proceedings to expected be published by Springer.

About CaSON'16 :

-------------------------

The International Conference on Computational Aspects of Social Network
(CASoN) is a major international conference that brings together an
 interdisciplinary venue for social scientists, mathematicians, computer
 scientists, engineers, computer users, and students to exchange and

 share their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all
 aspects (theory, applications and tools) of intelligent methods applied
 to Social Network, and to discuss the practical challenges encountered
 and the solutions adopted. Industrial Workshop/Tutorials and conference
 sessions will allow individuals interested in the theory, methods, or
 applications of social network analysis to share ideas and explore common
interests. All accepted and registered papers will be included in the
conference proceedings to expected be published by Springer.

We solicit original research and technical papers not published  elsewhere.
The papers can be theoretical, practical and application, and cover a broad
set of intelligent methods, with particular emphasis on  Social Network
computing. Methods such as (but not restricted to) :

 Neural Networks and Connectionist Models

 Evolutionary Algorithms

 Fuzzy Logic

 Knowledge Management

 Multi-valued Logic

 Semantic Networks

 Rough Sets

 Intelligent Agents

 Ontologies

 Reinforcement Learning

 Applications on Social Networks:
