IWCIA2014 is seeking high quality submission in the broad field ofcomputational intelligence technologies and applications such as
Artificial Neural Networks, Evolutionary Algorithms, Swarm Intelligence,
Artificial Immune Systems, Ant-colony Optimization, and Fuzzy
Systems. The main goal of IWCIA2014 is to provide the scientificresearchers and engineers with a vehicle where innovative technologies
of computational intelligence could be discussed.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:* Neural Networks, * Evolutionary Computation, * Fuzzy Theory, * Ant
Colony Optimization, * Swarm Intelligence, * Artificial Immune System, *Big data Technology, * Smartphone Application, * Computer Educationand E-learning, * Medical Informatics, * Affective Computing, * Decision
MakingPapers must be prepared at the highest level of quality for inclusion in
the conference proceedings. All papers must be: written in standard
English and prepared in compliance with the paper formatting template.
The maximum page limit is 6 inclusive of figures and tables. Papers
must be prepared using an IWCIA2014 formatting template for papers in
the following URL.
