The international conference on computational intelligence for modelling,
control and automation will be held in Vienna,
Austria on 10-12 December 2008. The conference provides a medium for the
exchange of ideas between theoreticians and
practitioners to address the important issues in computational intelligence,
modelling, control and automation.
The conference will consist of both plenary sessions and contributory
sessions, focusing on theory, implementation
and applications of computational intelligence techniques to modelling,
control and automation. For contributory
sessions, papers (4 pages or more) are being solicited. Several well-known
keynote speakers will address the
 conference.

Conference Proceedings will be published as books by IEEE (The Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineering) in USA
and will be index world wide. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least
two reviewers.

Topics of the conference include, but are not limited to, the following
areas:

Modern and Advanced Control Strategies:
Neural Networks Control,
Fuzzy Logic Control,
