| Welcome to ICONS 2009: The 2nd IFAC International Conference on Intelligent Control Systems and Signal Processing Invitation to ICONS 2009: The organizing committee of ICONS 2009 extends a cordial invitation to you to come to Istanbul to meet renowned scholars and practitioners from all over the world at a place that is reputed to be one of the most attractive cities of the Europe. Papers Submission deadline is over.
Objectives: ICONS 2009 will be a forum to bring together experts and practitioners from the major computational intelligence areas (neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, fuzzy systems, probabilistic reasoning), and from control systems, signal processing, optimization and statistics, to exchange knowledge and experience and to discuss the state of art and the future direction in both theory and applications. It is desired to foster cross-fertilization between conventional computing and computational intelligence and to explore opportunities provided by individual computational intelligence methodologies and their hybrids. While control systems methods and applications will be the dominant theme, the conference is not limited to these subjects. Rather, it aims to be a multidisciplinary forum to promote discussion and transfer of knowledge between people from different backgrounds, including industry, albeit related to the main theme. |
