CFP: Special Issue on Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, and Evolutionary
Computing for Intelligent System Design
Guest Editor: Prof. Dr. Patricia Melin

Description:
This Special Issue will consist of papers that use one or several Soft
Computing (SC) methodologies for the development of intelligent systems
for modeling, simulation and control of non-linear dynamical systems.
SC methodologies at the moment include (at least) Neural Networks,
Fuzzy Logic, Genetic Algorithms and Chaos Theory. Each of these
methodologies has advantages and disadvantages and many problems have
been solved, by using one of these methodologies. However, many
real-world complex industrial problems require the integration of
several of these methodologies to really achieve the efficiency and
accuracy needed in practice. In this Special Issue, an overview of SC
methodologies, and their applications to modeling, simulation and
control, will be given in an introductory paper by the Guest Editors.
Then, detailed methods for integrating the different SC methodologies
in solving real-world problems will be given in the papers by the other
authors in the Special Issue. The Special Issue will include
applications on the following areas: Robotic Dynamic Systems, Control
of Non-linear Plants, Manufacturing Systems, and Pattern Recognition,
and Time Series Prediction. Selected papers from the International
Seminar in Computational Intelligence (ISCI 2006) will be considered
(after expansion) for this Special Issue.

Topics of interest (not limited to):

(1) Successful new applications to real-world problems of existing soft
computing techniques that are found to achieve better results than
conventional techniques. In this case, special attention should be
given to the metrics used to compare SC techniques with conventional
ones.

(2) Developments of innovative hybrid methods combining SC techniques
and conventional techniques to solve problems in Robotic Dynamic
Systems, Control of Non-linear Plants, Manufacturing Systems, and
Pattern Recognition, and Time Series Prediction. In this case, the
problems to be considered in these papers may not be as complex as the
ones in the previous point, but the authors have to explain very
carefully how their proposed method could be used, in the future, to
solve real-world problems.

(3) Papers considering original research on new SC techniques are also
welcome, but the authors would have to make a detailed description of
how their proposed approach is compared with other related techniques.

Format and Submission Procedure:

Papers and abstracts must be send by email, by the prospective authors,
to the Guest Editor. The papers and abstracts must be send as a PDF or
word attachment with their email message. The papers will then be
distributed to the Reviewers for evaluation according to their
originality, technical soundness, writing, etc. (At least three
reviewers per paper). Based on the evaluations by the reviewers, the
Guest Editor will select the Best papers for the Special Issue.
Notifications of acceptance or rejection will then be send to the
authors by email. The authors of accepted papers would then be asked to
send their final papers in the appropriate format and also giving
careful consideration to the comments and suggestions made by the
reviewers. After receiving all of the accepted papers in their final
form, the Special Issue will be formed by the Guest Editor and will be
send to the Editor in Chief of the Journal for publication.
