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 in 2002, 2003, 2004. We collected 24, 46 and 40 papers, and had 4, 8 and 4 sessions in 2002, 2003, 2004 respectively. We enjoyed exchanging ideas among soft computing researchers and engineers. We will continue to have active sessions in the annual SMC conference.


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.
