ISDA 2012 - 2012 International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA)

The International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA) is a major international conference bringing together researchers, engineers, and practitioners who work in the areas of intelligent systems and its applications in the industry and real world. Every year, ISDA attracts authors from over 30 countries. After the success of the Eleventh edition, which was held in Cordoba, Spain, this year's event will be held in Kochi, India.
ISDA 2012 is seeking original high quality Special Sessions on significant topics and emerging issues, which are related to the conference theme and with the desired expertise. Interdisciplinary session themes are strongly sought after. Each special session resembles a mini-conference within the main ISDA meeting and will run throughout the conference in parallel to other tracks (except the keynote presentations).
Session organizer (s) will be responsible for advertising, promoting, managing paper selection and chairing the parallel special session during the conference. Papers will be reviewed by the panel reviewers from the Session Program Committee and approved by the General Conference Program Committee. Each Special Session is expected to have at least 4 papers and at least one author of each paper must register for the paper present during the session. Special Session paper submission will be done through ISDA 2012 submission system and been evaluated with the same standard as the regular conference paper. All accepted papers will be included in the ISDA 2012 conference proceedings.
