Call for Papers
Papers are invited from prospective authors with interests on the indicated symposium topics and related areas of application. All contributions should be original and not published elsewhere or intended to be published during the review period. Contributions from more applied related fields in industry and commerce are very welcome.All accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors who must register for the conference and pay the fee. To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the KES-IIMSS-08 International Programme Committee.
The symposium proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Studies in Computational Intelligence series. Submitted papers should be prepared in Springer style and should not exceed 10 pages.
Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in the KES Journal (International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems) published by IOS Press, see KES Journal, and other journals.
Paper Submission
All papers for the symposium must be submitted in electronic form using the PROSE software review system. Papers are required in PDF format for review purposes, but authors are required to upload editable word-processor files (LaTeX or MS Word) at the end of the review process (see the Springer web site to find out about the files required).When formatting papers, please refer to the Springer-Verlag web site, and strictly follow the Instructions to Authors. (Note this page is headed 'Instructions for LNCS authors', but it is also applicable to authors in the Computational Intelligence series).
The required paper length is ten pages in Springer format. Papers longer than this will be subject to a penalty charge. Papers may be rejected without being sent to the reviewers if they are too long or if it is judged that they do not lie sufficiently within the scope of the symposium.
Papers will be scheduled for presentation either orally or by poster, depending on their attributes, author preferences and referee recommendations. Please note that poster presentations are regarded as being of equal importance to oral presentations.
