Objective:
Hybridization of intelligent systems is a promising research field of modern
artificial/computational intelligence concerned with the development of the
next generation of intelligent systems. A fundamental stimulus to the
investigations of Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS) is the awareness in the
academic communities that combined approaches will be necessary if the
remaining tough problems in artificial/computational intelligence are to be
solved. Recently, Hybrid Intelligent Systems are getting popular due to their
capabilities in handling several real world complexities involving
imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness. HIS'11 builds on the success of last
year's. The 4-day conference will feature prominent keynote speakers,
workshop, tutorials, poster and paper presentation in parallel tracks. HIS
2011 invites novel contributions/papers of hybrid intelligent systems from
fundamental aspects to various practical applications.

Topics:

** Hybrid Intelligent Systems: Architectures **

Interactions between neural networks and fuzzy inference systems.
Artificial neural network optimization using global optimization techniques.
Fuzzy clustering algorithms and optimization techniques.
Fuzzy inference system optimization using global optimization algorithms.
Hybrid computing using neural networks - fuzzy systems - evolutionary algorithms.
Hybrid optimization techniques (evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing,
tabu search, GRASP etc.).
Hybrid of soft computing and statistical learning techniques.
Models using inductive logic programming, logic synthesis, grammatical
inference, case-based reasoning etc.
Autonomic computing.
Hybridizatiion with novel computing paradigms: Qantum computing, DNA
computing, membrane computing etc.
