About SoCPaR'16 :

-------------------------
Conference Objective:
The International Conference on Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition
(SoCPaR) is a major international conference bringing together
researchers, engineers, and practitioners who work in the areas of
soft computing and pattern recognition in the industry and real world.
Every year, SoCPaR attracts authors from over 30 countries. After the
success of the Seventh edition, which was held in Japan, this year
event will be held in Vellore, India. SoCPaR'16 invites novel
contributions/papers of soft computing and pattern recognition from
fundamental aspects to various practical applications. All accepted
and registered papers will be included in the conference proceedings
to expected be published by Springer.

About CaSON'16 :

-------------------------

The International Conference on Computational Aspects of Social
Network (CASoN) is a major international conference that brings
together an  interdisciplinary venue for social scientists,
mathematicians, computer  scientists, engineers, computer users, and
students to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and
research results about all  aspects (theory, applications and tools)
of intelligent methods applied  to Social Network, and to discuss the
practical challenges encountered  and the solutions adopted.
Industrial Workshop/Tutorials and conference  sessions will allow
individuals interested in the theory, methods, or  applications of
social network analysis to share ideas and explore common interests.
All accepted and registered papers will be included in the conference
proceedings to expected be published by Springer.

We solicit original research and technical papers not published
elsewhere. The papers can be theoretical, practical and application,
and cover a broad set of intelligent methods, with particular emphasis
on  Social Network computing. Methods such as (but not restricted to)
:

 Neural Networks and Connectionist Models

 Evolutionary Algorithms

 Fuzzy Logic

 Knowledge Management

 Multi-valued Logic

 Semantic Networks

 Rough Sets

 Intelligent Agents

 Ontologies

 Reinforcement Learning
