The 11^th International FLINS Conference on Decision Making and Soft Computing (FLINS2014)

August 17-20, 2014, João Pessoa (Paraíba), Brazil

FLINS, an acronym originally for Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent Technologies in Nuclear Science, is now extended into a well-established international research forum to advance the foundations and applications of computational intelligence for applied research in general and for complex engineering and decision support systems.

The principal mission of FLINS is bridging the gap between machine intelligence and real complex systems via joint research between universities and international research institutions, encouraging interdisciplinary research and bringing multidiscipline researchers together.

FLINS 2014 is the eleventh in a series of conferences on computational intelligence systems. The conference will be held in João Pessoa (Paraíba), Brazil, the 2nd greenest city in the world, located in the Eastermost point of Americas. It follows the successful previous FLINS Conference since 1994. FLINS 2014 will be again included in the ISI proceedings as previous ones. Special issues of SCI indexed journals will be devoted to a strict refereed selection of extended papers.

Theme

The 2014 International FLINS Conference on Decision Making and Soft Computing (FLINS 2014) provides an international forum that brings together those actively involved in areas of interest to the computational intelligence and its applications, to report on up-to-the-minute innovations and developments, to summarize the state-of-the-art, and to exchange ideas and advances in all aspects of computational intelligence.

Papers related to this conference theme are especially solicited, including theories, methodologies. Contributions covering theoretical developments and practical applications, including but not limited to the following technical areas, are invited:

- fuzzy logic	- neural networks	- genetic algorithms
- evolutionary programming	- probabilistic computing	- hybrid methods
- chaos theory	- rough set theory	- evidence theory
- interactive computational models	- artificial intelligence	- expert systems
- machine learning	- process and system control	- system identification and modelling
- optimization	- signal and image processing	- pattern recognition
- condition monitoring	- fault diagnosis	- systems integration
- internet tools	- human-machine interface	- time series prediction
- noise analysis	- real time systems	- robotics
- virtual reality	- telecommunications	- science and technology
- data mining	- data visualization	- intelligent information retrieval
- autonomous reasoning	- risk analysis	- decision support system
- security and safety related issues

The FLINS 2014 will occur at same time of the

• 9th International Conference on Intelligent Systems and Knowledge Engineering (ISKE 2014)

• III Brazilian Congress on Fuzzy Systems (CBSF 2014)

All Conferences will take place in the Convention Centre at Tropical Hotel Tambaú (4*), in the Tambaú Beach.

Call for Papers - Special Issues

• Knowledge Based Systems: ''Computational Intelligence Applications for Data Science''. Guest Editors: Ronei Marcos de Moraes (Brazil) and Luis Martínez (Spain).
