The joint ICNC'05-FSKD'05 have received 2156 submissions
for the regular sessions from over 30 countries, as of
15 March 2005. In response to many requests for an
extension, e.g., due to NSFC proposal preparations,
we are pleased to extend the submission deadline to
30 March 2005.

*** Extended Submission Deadline: 30 March 2005 ***
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS, SPECIAL SESSIONS, AND SPONSORSHIP
The ICNC'05-FSKD'05 will feature the most up-to-date research results
in computational algorithms inspired from nature, including
biological, ecological, and physical systems. It is an exciting and
emerging inter-disciplinary area in which a wide range of techniques
and methods are being studied for dealing with large, complex, and
dynamic problems. The joint conferences will also promote cross-
fertilization over these exciting and yet closely-related areas.
Registration to either conference will entitle a participant to the
proceedings and technical sessions of both conferences, as well as
the conference banquet, buffet lunches, and tours to some attractions
in Changsha.
Specific areas include, but are not limited to neural computation,
evolutionary computation, quantum computation, DNA computation,
chemical computation, information processing in cells and tissues,
molecular computation, computation with words, fuzzy computation,
granular computation, artificial life, swarm intelligence, ants
colony, artificial immune systems, etc., with applications to
knowledge discovery, finance, operations research, and more.
Publications
------------
The ICNC'05 and FSKD'05 conference proceedings will be published in
Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and Lecture Notes
in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI), respectively. Both the LNCS and
LNAI are indexed in SCI-Expanded. A selected number of authors will be
invited to expand and revise their papers for possible inclusions in
peer-reviewed international journals / edited books.
Special Sessions
----------------
In addition to regular sessions, participants are encouraged to
organize special sessions on specialized topics. Each special session
should have at least 4 papers. Special session organizers will solicit
submissions and conduct reviews on the submitted papers. Proposals for
special sessions should be sent to the respective Program Chairs,
i.e.,
Ke Chen (neural computation, Ke.Chen@manchester.ac.uk)
Yew Soon Ong (other topics in ICNC'05, asysong@ntu.edu.sg)
Yaochu Jin (FSKD'05, yaochu.jin@honda-ri.de)

About Changsha, Hunan, China
----------------------------
Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, is a historic and cultural
city in southern China and a busy port on the Xiangjiang River, with
a population over 6 million. Founded 3000 years ago, the city became
the capital of the Zhou state (951-960 AD) and a leading commercial
center during the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD). Changsha International
Airport is easily accessible with direct flights to all major
domestic and some international destinations. Other famous tourist
destinations in Hunan include the Zhangjiajie National Park (natural
heritage listed by UN) and Fenghuang (Phoenix) Ancient City.
