Soft Computing is a newly introduced concept that encompasses intelligence-based methods including fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic algorithms. This international symposium seeks to emphasize the current and potential applications of soft computing with the intent to attract broad interest in all engineering disciplines, computer science and related technology fields. The event is the successor of the highly successful meeting held in Reading (U.K.) in 1996 (SOCO'96) and encourages practitioners and researchers from industrial, governmental and academic institutions to meet and discuss the development.
Contributions are sought in areas based on the list below, which is indicative only. Contributions from new application areas will be particularly welcome.
Neural Networks
Fuzzy Logic
Fuzzy Control
Genetic Algorithms
AI and Expert Systems
Probabilistic Reasoning
Machine Learning
Learning Algorithms and Intelligent Control
Distributed Intelligence
Self-Organizing Systems
Educational Aspects of Soft Computing
Applications of Soft Computing in Control
Various projects on the following topics are in preparation, respectively under consideration:
Anyone wishing to organize a session or discussion, is requested to contact the chairman of the conference, Dr. David W. Pearson before March 15, 1997:

Full details, including tutorials and invited sessions, will be announced at a later date.
Prospective authors are requested to send an abstract of 500 words for review by the International Scientific Committee. All abstracts must be written in English, starting with a succinct statement of the problem, the results achieved, their significance and a comparison with previous work. If authors believe that more details are necessary to substantiate the main claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the International Scientific Committee.
The abstract should also include:
Contributions are welcome from those working in industry and having experience in the topics of this conference as well as from academics. The conference language is English.
It is recommended to submit abstracts by electronic mail (ASCII text)
to icsc@compusmart.ab.ca
or else by fax or mail (2 copies) to the following address:

Conference proceedings (including all accepted papers) will be published by ICSC Academic Press and be available for the delegates at the conference. Free copies are included in the full registration fees.
Some selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Journal on Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering, devoted to SOCO'97 and IIA'97.
| Submission of abstracts: | January 31, 1997 |
| Notification of acceptance: | March 31, 1997 |
| Delivery of full papers: | May 15, 1997 |
| SOCO/IIA'97 Conferences: | September 17-19, 1997 |
A social program (conference banquet and entertainment), will be organized and also be available for accompanying persons.
Nîmes, the old Roman town of Nemausus, is situated in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the South of France. Benefiting from its position on the northern boundary of the Camargue National Park, the town is an ideal tourist base, being within easy reach of the Cévennes mountains to the north and the Mediterranean beaches to the south.
The location is 45 kilometers from Avignon, 40 kilometers from Montpellier and the Mediterranean beaches and 120 kilometers from Marseilles. It can be easily reached by air, TGV high speed train or road. More detailed travel information will be available upon registration.
Additional information about Nîmes is available from http://www.eerie.fr/Nimes/Nimes.html
Block reservations have been made at nearby hotels and accommodation at reasonable rates (not included in the registration fee) will be available upon registration. Full details will follow with the letters of acceptance.
Full registration is estimated at FF 2600 and includes attendance to all SOCO'97 and IIA'97 sessions, buffet style luncheons, coffee breaks, conference banquet/social program and conference proceedings. Full-time students, who have a valid student ID-card, may register with a rebate by eliminating proceedings and the conference banquet/social program. Extra banquet/social program tickets will be sold for accompanying persons and students. The proceedings can be purchased separately.
