The conference provides a medium for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians and practitioners to address the important issues in computational intelligence, modelling, control and automation. The conference will consist of both plenary sessions and contributory sessions, focusing on theory, implementation and applications of computational intelligence techniques to modelling, control and automation. For contributory sessions, papers (4 pages or more) are being solicited. Several well-known keynote speakers will address the conference. Conference Proceedings will be published as books by IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering) in USA and will be index world wide. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers. Topics of the conference include, but are not limited to, the following areas: Modern and Advanced Control Strategies: Neural Networks Control, Fuzzy Logic Control, Genetic Algorithms and Evolutionary Control, Model-Predictive Control, Adaptive and Optimal Control, Intelligent Control Systems, Robotics and Automation, Fault Diagnosis, Intelligent agents, Industrial Automations, Modelling, Simulation Hybrid Systems: Fuzzy Evolutionary Systems, Fuzzy Expert Systems, Fuzzy Neural Systems, Neural Genetic Systems, Neural-Fuzzy-Genetic Systems, Hybrid Systems for Optimisation Data Analysis, Prediction and Model Identification: Signal Processing, Prediction and Time Series Analysis, System Identification, Data Fusion and Mining, Knowledge Discovery, Intelligent Information Systems, Image Processing, and Image Understanding, Parallel Computing applications in Identification & Control, Pattern Recognition, Clustering and Classification Decision Making and Information Retrieval: Case-Based Reasoning, Decision Analysis, Intelligent Databases & Information Retrieval, Dynamic Systems Modelling, Decision Support Systems, Multi-criteria Decision Making, Qualitative and Approximate-Reasoning Paper Submission Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, correctness, and clarity of presentation. Papers (4 pages or more) should be submitted to the following e-mail or through conference website: E-mail: cimca@canberra.edu.au CIMCA'2008 Secretariat School of Information Sciences and Engineering University of Canberra, Canberra, 2616, ACT, Australia Electronic submission of papers (either by E-mail or through conference website) is preferred.
