Choosing a track
ICNC focuses on computing methods inspired by natural systems, including neural, evolutionary, and membrane computing. FSKD focuses on fuzzy systems, soft computing, and knowledge discovery from complex data. Applied papers that combine methods from both tracks were welcome, and the technical programme brought the two communities into shared sessions.
Preparing a submission
Papers were written in English and formatted with the conference templates. The submission page collects the paper format guidance and the template downloads.
