CALL FOR PAPERS AND SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS
The 2005 International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC’05) and the 2005 International
Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD’05) will be jointly held in Changsha,
China from 27 - 29 August 2005. The conferences will feature the most up-to-date research results in
computational algorithms inspired from nature, including biological, ecological, and physical systems. It
is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of techniques and methods are
being studied for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems. Specific areas include, but are not
limited to neural computation, evolutionary computation, quantum computation, DNA computation,
chemical computation, information processing in cells and tissues, molecular computation, computation
with words, fuzzy computation, granular computation, artificial life, swarm intelligence, ants colony,
artificial immune systems, etc., with applications to knowledge discovery, finance, operations research,
and more. The joint conferences will also promote cross-fertilization over these exciting and yet closelyrelated areas. Registration to either conference will entitle a participant to the proceedings and technical
sessions of both conferences, as well as the conference banquet and meals.
Publications: All accepted papers of ICNC’05 and FSKD'
05 with proper registrations will be published
in Springer-Verlag’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence (LNAI), respectively. Both the LNCS and LNAI are indexed in SCI-Expanded. A selected
number of authors will be invited to expand and revise their papers for possible inclusions in peerreviewed international journals / edited books.
Keynote Speakers: Shun-ichi Amari, Japan; Aike Guo, China; Nikhil R. Pal, India; Xin Yao, UK
About Changsha, Hunan, China: Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, is a historic and cultural
city in southern China and a busy port on the Xiangjiang River, with a population over 6 million.
Founded over 3000 years ago, the city became the capital of the Zhou state (951-960 AD) and a leading
commercial center during the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD). Changsha International Airport is easily
accessible with direct flights to all major domestic and some international destinations. Other famous
tourist destinations in Hunan include the Zhangjiajie National Park (natural heritage listed by the UN)
and Fenghuang (Phoenix) Ancient City.
