DM: International Conference on Computational Intelligence for Modelling

[CIMCA99]

Dear Colleague,


The international conference on computational intelligence for 
modelling,
control and automation will be held in Vienna, Austria on 17-19 
February
1999. The conference provides a medium for the exchange of ideas 
between
theoreticians and practitioners to address the important issue in
computational intelligence, modelling, control and automation.

Please find attached a copy of the call for papers for the CIMCA'99. 
We
hope that you can contribute to CIMCA'99. 


Yours sincerely
CIMCA'99 Secretariat

computational intelligence, modelling, control and automation.

The conference will consist of both plenary sessions and contributory
sessions, focusing on theory, implementation and applications of
computational intelligence techniques to modelling, control and 
automation.
For contributory sessions, extended abstract papers are being 
solicited.
Several well-known keynote speakers will address the conference.
