Dear colleague,

Let me kindly inform you that due to some requests the paper submission deadline for the International Conference on Fuzzy Computation Theory and Applications (FCTA 2014 – http://www.fcta.ijcci.org/) has been extended to 5 May 2014. We hope you can participate in this conference by submitting a paper reflecting your current research in any of the conference main topic areas, which are detailed further below.

FCTA 2014 is co-located with two related conferences in a joint conference (IJCCI – http://www.ijcci.org/) format, namely:
– Evolutionary Computation Theory and Applications (http://www.ecta.ijcci.org/)
– Neural Computation Theory and Applications (http://www.ncta.ijcci.org/)
Registration to one IJCCI’s conference allows free access to all conferences.

We would like to highlight the presence of the following keynote speakers:
– Marie-Jeanne Lesot, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie – LIP6, France
– Danil Prokhorov, Toyota Tech Center, United States
– Bernard De Baets, Ghent University, Belgium
– Cesare Alippi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
(http://www.ijcci.org/KeynoteSpeakers.aspx)

We also would like to highlight the possibility to submit to the following Special Sessions:
Special Sessions:
– Special Session on Fuzzy Optimization in Automation Systems – FOAS 2014 (http://www.fcta.ijcci.org/FOAS.aspx)
– Special Session on Challenges in Neuroengineering – SSCN 2014 (http://www.ncta.ijcci.org/SSCN.aspx)

Finally, we would also like to highlight the Doctoral Consortium on Computational Intelligence that will take place in conjunction with IJCCI and aims to provide an opportunity for graduate students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field (http://www.ijcci.org/DoctoralConsortium.aspx).

Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.

Please check further details at the FCTA conference website (http://www.fcta.ijcci.org/).
Should you have any question please don’t hesitate contacting me.

Kind regards,
Vera Coelho
