INTRODUCTION

A special track on the Computational Intelligence and Image Analysis (CIIA) will be held at SAC '09.  It will be a forum for engineers, researchers and practitioners throughout the world to share technical ideas and experiences relating to implementation and application of Computational Intelligence.  Original papers, tutorial (half or full day), and panel proposals are invited in all areas of the CIIA.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

·         Applications of Artificial Intelligence      

·         Computational Intelligence    

·         Artificial Immune Systems

·         Boolean Satisfiability (SAT)

·         Collective Computing                             

·         Computational Logic

·         Constraint Solving and Programming

·         Image Analysis

·         Image Segmentation and Classification

·         Intelligent Embedded Systems

·         Fuzzy logic and Rough set applications

·         Knowledge-based Systems     

·         Knowledge Representation                     

·         Machine Learning  

·         Neural Networks                                    

·         Search Techniques                 

·         Selective Self-Organization                    

·         Simulation of Swarm Intelligence

 

               

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Original papers from the above-mentioned areas will be considered.  This includes three categories of submissions:

1)      Original and unpublished research

2)      Reports of innovative artificial intelligence applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, business, government, education and industry

3)      Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains

 

Each category of submissions will be reviewed by peer groups appropriate to that category.  Accepted papers in all categories will be published in the symposium proceedings.  Expanded versions of selected papers from all categories will be considered for publication in the ACM/SIGAPP quarterly Applied Computing Review or one of the other participating SIGs' publications.  Submission guidelines must be strictly followed:

 

1)      Submit the original manuscripts to the SAC 2009 submission systems.  The electronic file format should be either WORD, Post Script or PDF (PDF preferred).

2)      The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review.  Only the paper title should be shown at the first page without the author's information.

3)      The body of paper should not exceed 4,000 words (approximately 15 pages, double-spaced).

4)      A separate cover sheet attached to each copy should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and FAX) to which correspondence should be sent..  A few key words should be provided.

5)      NOTE: A paper cannot be sent to more than one track.

 

JOURNAL PUBLICATION

Some selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of International Journal of Fuzzy Systems (http://www.fuzzy.org.tw/English/default.htm).
