> FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS, SPECIAL SESSIONS, AND SPONSORSHIP
>
> The ICNC'05-FSKD'05 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 inter-disciplinary area in which a wide range of techniques
> and methods are being studied for dealing with large, complex, and
> dynamic problems. The joint conferences will also promote cross-
> fertilization over these exciting and yet closely-related areas.
> Registration to either conference will entitle a participant to the
> proceedings and technical sessions of both conferences, as well as
> the conference banquet, buffet lunches, and tours to some attractions
> in Changsha.
>
> 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.
>
> Publications
> ------------
> The ICNC'05 and FSKD'05 conference proceedings will be published in
> Springer'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
> peer-reviewed international journals / edited books.
>
> Special Sessions
> ----------------
> In addition to regular sessions, participants are encouraged to
> organize special sessions on specialized topics. Each special session
> should have at least 4 papers. Special session organizers will solicit
> submissions and conduct reviews on the submitted papers. Proposals for
> special sessions should be sent to the respective Program Chairs,
> i.e.,
> Ke Chen (neural computation, Ke.Chen@manchester.ac.uk)
> Yew Soon Ong (other topics in ICNC'05, asysong@ntu.edu.sg)
> Yaochu Jin (FSKD'05, yaochu.jin@honda-ri.de)

> 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 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 UN) and Fenghuang (Phoenix) Ancient City.
