Dear Colleague,

We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the Information Technology track in the upcoming 2016 12th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD 2016), to be held from 13-15 August 2016 in Changsha, China. The submission deadline is 16 May 2016. Topics include (but are not limited to): Communications and Networking, Automation and Control, Software Engineering, Information Security, etc..

Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, is a historic and cultural city in southern China and a busy port on the Xiangjiang River, with a population over 6 million. Founded over 3000 years ago, the city became the capital of the Zhou state (951-960 AD) and a leading commercial center during the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD). Changsha International Airport is easily accessible with direct flights to all major domestic and some international destinations. Other famous tourist destinations in Hunan include the Zhangjiajie National Park (natural heritage listed by the UN) and Fenghuang (Phoenix) Ancient City.

As with the past ICNC-FSKD conferences, all papers in conference proceedings will be submitted to both EI Compendex and ISTP (ISI Proceedings), as well as IEEE Xplore (all previous ICNC-FSKD conferences from 2005 to 2014 have been indexed in Ei Compendex). Extended versions of selected best papers will appear in SCIE-indexed international journals, such as Swarm and Evolutionary Computation (Elsevier, SJR: 4.638), Applied Soft Computing (SCI/Elsevier, Impact Factor: 2.810) and Journal of Computer and System Science (CCF B，IF: 1.2), as well as EI-indexed international journals with 100+ papers (5 SCI-indexed and 3 Ei-index journal special issues for ICNC-FSKD 2015 invited more than 120 extended papers. The reviews are expected to complete in June 2016). ICNC-FSKD 2016 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (pending).

ICNC-FSKD is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of data mining and intelligent methods inspired from nature, particularly biological, linguistic, and physical systems, with applications to computers, circuits, systems, control, robotics, communications, and more. This is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of theory and methodologies are being investigated and developed to tackle complex and challenging problems. The registration fee of US-D460 includes proceedings, lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks, and all technical sessions.

To promote international participation of researchers from outside the country/region where the conference is held (i.e., China’s mainland), researchers outside of China’s mainland are encouraged to propose invited sessions. An honorarium of US-D400 will be enjoyed by the organizer(s) for each completed (with at least 6 registered papers) invited session. The first author of each paper in an invited session must not be affiliated with an organization in China’s mainland. "(Invited Paper)" may be added below the title of each paper in the invited sessions. Invited session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers. Invited session organizers will be able to set their own submission and review schedules, as long as a set of recommended papers is determined by 3 June 2016. Each invited session proposal should include: (1) the name, bio, and contact information of each organizer of the invited session; (2) the title and a short synopsis of the invited session. Please send your proposal to icnc-fskd@hnu.edu.cn
