Call for papers
Original papers in natural computation, fuzzy systems, and knowledge discovery were invited for the 14th edition in Huangshan, China.
Call for papers
The 14th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery invited prospective authors to submit manuscripts written in English. All submissions were peer reviewed by experts in the field on the basis of originality, significance, quality, and clarity.
Authors used the LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word templates provided by the conference to format their papers, and submitted PDF files through the online submission system. Submissions implied that the papers had not been submitted elsewhere and would not be submitted elsewhere for publication before the review decisions of the conference.
The original 2018 call is available as a PDF for reference and citation.
The call ran in two rounds. Papers already submitted in the previous round were not to be resubmitted, and authors received review notifications on the date listed for that round.
Second and final round
The paper submission deadline was extended from 16 May 2018 to 20 June 2018.
First round
As with past ICNC FSKD conferences, all papers in the conference proceedings were prepared for submission to EI Compendex and ISTP (ISI Proceedings), as well as IEEE Xplore. All previous ICNC FSKD conferences from 2005 to 2016 have been indexed in Ei Compendex and IEEE Xplore.
Extended versions of selected best papers were invited for SCIE indexed international journals, including the International Journal of Fuzzy Systems (Springer, IF 2.198), the Journal of Supercomputing (IF 1.326), Neural Computing and Applications (IF 2.505), and Theoretical Computer Science, Section C: Natural Computing (IF 0.696, CCF B).
ICNC FSKD is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of data mining and intelligent methods inspired by nature, particularly biological, linguistic, and physical systems, with applications to computers, circuits, systems, control, communications, and more. This is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of theory and methodologies are being investigated and developed to tackle complex and challenging problems.
Papers were invited in the two conference tracks. The full topic lists cover neural networks, evolutionary methods, fuzzy theory, soft computing, data mining, and their applications.
These external sites provide context for the publication and indexing arrangements described in the call.
