Our goals

The goal of this technical committee is to provide a forum for exchanging ideas among soft computing researchers and engineers through scientific events, such as organizing invited sessions at SMC conferences, organizing workshops, and editing special issues for journal publications.

What we are doing

We have organized invited sessions in the past SMC conferences since 1998, and are also organizing the annual "International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems" HIS (most recent November 2008 in Barcelona, Spain; August 2009, Shenyang, China; planned 2010 Atlanta, US), and other conferences and workshops (ISDA series, WSC on-line series etc.) The TC is also providing their active support to newly established promising conferences like SoCPaR, CASoN, NaBIC, INCoS, MEDES etc. In addition to the exchange of research ideas among soft computing researchers and engineers at conferences and special sessions, we faciliate on-line communication and information services for all our members activity.


Why don't you join us?

  • Interacting with experts in soft computing such as neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation or other biologically inspired systems that are rapidly growing research fields.
  • Participating in interesting conferences and workshops.
  • Making friends from different regions of the world.
  • Exchanging research ideas and possibly share research resources.
