Call for Papers

Special Session on:
Nature-inspired Intelligent Methods and Applications

To be held in the framework of the:
9th International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (IWANN'2007) 
20-22 June 2007 at the Palacio de Miramar,  San Sebastián, Spain 

Session Organisers: Dr  & Prof. 

A characteristic feature of man-designed computing inspired by nature is the metaphorical use of concepts, principles and mechanisms underlying natural systems. This type of computing includes among others, fields as evolutionary algorithms, neural networks, molecular computing and quantum computing. The special session is soliciting papers on all aspects of Nature-inspired Intelligent Methods and Applications. Because of the interdisciplinary character of the conference a special effort will be made to solicit survey, review, and tutorial papers which would make research trends in a given subarea more accessible to the broad audience of the conference.

Applications are solicited, but not limited to such fields as security, knowledge management, bio-informatics, geographic information systems, artificial societies, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, prediction, control, robotics, image and speech signal processing, food industry, biology and medicine, business and management, materials and environment engineering and so on.
