Objectives

Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of computational intelligence focusing on synergistic combinations of multiple approaches to develop the next generation of intelligent systems. A fundamental stimulus to the investigations of Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS) is the awareness that combined approaches will be necessary to be able to solve hard problems in artificial intelligence. Neural computing, machine learning, fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms, agent-based methods, quantum computing, among others, have been established and shown their strength and drawbacks. Applications span across all disciplines of Science, Business, Engineering, Medicine, Health, Environment, Social Sciences. Neuro-Computing  (NC)  is  an  area  of  computer  science  and  engineering  concerned  with  the development, implementation, realisation and application of computational models that mimic the brain in its main functions of adaptive learning, predictive generalisation, and knowledge discovery.  Using NC and hybrid system to build intelligent systems that evolve their structure, their functionality and their knowledge representation over time through interaction with the environment, called evolving intelligence (EI) is a major focus of the conference.

The  three  days  event  will  include  tutorials, invited  talks,  oral  presentations,  poster  presentations  and  various  demonstrations  of neuro-computing  and hybrid systems  for :  bioinformatics  and  biomedical   applications,  biometric and security, brain  study  and  cognitive engineering,  agriculture,  environment,  decision  support,  business and finance, speech-, image-  and  multimodal  information  processing,  process  control, arts and design.
