Dear Colleague,



We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the upcoming 2018 14th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD 2018), to be held from 28-30 July 2018 in Huangshan, China. The deadline for the 2nd (final) round of submissions is 16 May 2018 (papers already submitted in the previous round should not be re-submitted and will receive review notifications on 15 April).



Huangshan (literal meaning: Yellow Mountain) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations. It is well known for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly-shaped granite peaks, Huangshan pine trees, hot springs, winter snow, and views of the clouds from above. Huangshan is a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature, as well as modern photography. A famous saying goes: "You don't need to see any more mountains after seeing 'the Five Mountains', and you don't need to see the other four mountains after seeing Huangshan."



As with the past ICNC-FSKD conferences, all papers in conference proceedings will be submitted to EI Compendex, Scopus, and ISTP (ISI Proceedings), as well as IEEE Xplore (all previous ICNC-FSKD conferences from 2005 to 2016 have been indexed in Ei Compendex). Extended versions of selected best papers will appear in SCIE-indexed international journals, including Theoretical Computer Science - Part C: Nature Computing, International Journal of Fuzzy Systems and Journal of Supercomputing. ICNC-FSKD 2018 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-D490 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 2018. 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-fskd2018@ahu.edu.cn <mailto:icnc-fskd2018@ahu.edu.cn>
