SBRN 2012 - XXI Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence

Website: http://www.inf.ufpr.br/bracis2012/SBRN.html
SBRN is the leading conference in Brazil dedicated to Neural Networks (NNs) and other models of Computational Intelligence (CI) such as Fuzzy Logic and Evolutionary Computing. The conference is focused on original theories and novel applications dealing with the use and analysis of computational intelligence techniques. SBRN 2012 will be held jointly with the "XXI Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence" (SBIA) and "IX Encontro de Inteligência Artificial" (ENIA) as part of the 2012 Brazilian Conference on Intelligent System (BRACIS 2012) . BRACIS 2012 will take place at Curitiba- PR, Brazil, in October 20-25, 2012.
SBRN covers all topics in CI and applications including, but is not limited to:
Neural Networks
Evolutionary Computation
Fuzzy Systems
Swarm Intelligence
Molecular and quantum computing
Machine Learning
Hybrid Systems
Bioinformatics and bioengineering
Combinatorial and numerical optimization
Forecasting
Pattern Recognition
The invited speakers for SBRN 2012 are Prof Kenneth A. De Jong (George Mason University, EUA) and Prof Thomas G. Dietterich (Oregon State University, EUA).
Proceedings
Like previous SBRN editions, we expect the proceedings to be published by CPS, a division of IEEE CS Press. Selected papers will be published in special issues of several international journals (to be announced).
Papers must be written in *English *and *must not be* longer than 6 pages, including all tables, figures, and references (style of the IEEE Computer Society Press). Formatting instructions, as well as templates for Word and /LaTeX/, can be found in http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formattin...
Submission
Papers must be submitted in PDF files using the JEMS submission system at https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=1475
The deadline for paper registration/upload is *March 22nd., 2012, 23:55 BRST.*
By submitting papers to SBRN 2012, the authors agree that in case of acceptance at least one author registers to the conference and presents the paper. Furthermore, it is the conference policy that at least one of the authors of accepted papers has to register **before** the deadline for sending the camera-ready paper. Accepted papers without the respective author registration **before* *the deadline will not be included in the proceedings.
Reviewing Process
All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two experts in the field.
Important Dates
*Deadline Submission for Regular and Special Session Papers:* March 22, 2012
*Acceptance notification:* May 10, 2012
*Final camera-ready papers due:* June 7, 2012
