            CALL FOR PAPERS AND SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS

The 2005 International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC'05)
and the 2005 International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge
Discovery (FSKD'05) will be jointly held in Changsha, China from
27 to 29 August 2005. The conferences 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 interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of
techniques and methods are being studied for dealing with large,
complex, and dynamic problems. Specific areas include 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. 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 and meals.

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,
