Call for Papers

Original papers and online tutorials are invited for the 5th Online
World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications (WSC5)
to be held on the Internet.  We aim to have inspiring discussions
between the authors and participants, and make them visible to
everyone on the Internet. There will be several mirror sites around
the world to share the computational load of this major event.

WSC5 will bring together practitioners and researchers in the field of
soft computing (evolutionary computation, fuzzy logic, neural
networks, and their fusion) across the world with the aim to publish
high-quality research rapidly and with less cost. Although WSC5 is an
online conference, its printable proceedings will be available on
CD-ROM which carries an ISBN number.


To Submit a Proposal

E-mail a two-page summary of your original paper or online tutorial in
pure ASCII format to
submit.wsc5@hut.fi 
following strictly the instructions on the WSC5 web page.
