CSC 2013 - The Third International Conference on Soft Computing Technology in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering

The Third International Conference
on Soft Computing Technology in
Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering
Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy
3-6 September 2013
Introduction
Soft computing Technology includes aspects of computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, evolutionary based methods and tools. Most frequently, soft computing technology methods are employed on complex and computationally intensive problems that have traditionally proved intractable for conventional analysis methods.
The key areas of soft computing covered by this conference include, but are not limited to:
Neural networks
Fuzzy systems
Genetic algorithms
Ant colony optimization
Evolutionary methods
Simulated annealing
Harmony search
Cellular automata
Swarm intelligence
Bayesian networks
Chaos theory
Data mining
Expert systems
Support vector machines
Hybrid optimization algorithms
Predator-prey
Response surfaces
Polynomial chaos
Artificial immune systems and immune computing
Robust design
Inverse methodologies
Self-organizing maps (SOM)
Multi agent systems
Evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR)
Papers describing recent developments in the above techniques may be submitted to the conference.
