<p> Call for Papers, Special Session Proposals & Sponsorships</p>
<p>The joint ICNC'07-FSKD'07 will be held in Haikou, China. Haikou, the <br>capital city of Hainan Province, is a pleasant modern city with a number <br>of historical and cultural sights to see and to hold you for a few days
<br>before heading off to Hainan's beautiful beaches and inland villages. <br>ICNC'07-FSKD'07 aims to provide an international forum for scientists <br>and researchers to present the state of the art of intelligent methods
<br>inspired from nature, including biological, linguistic, ecological, and <br>physical systems, with applications to data mining, manufacturing, <br>design, reliability, and more. It is an exciting and emerging inter-<br>
disciplinary area in which a wide range of techniques and methods are <br>being studied for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems. </p>
<p>Previously, the joint conferences in 2005 and 2006 each attracted over <br>3100 submissions from more than 30 countries.</p>
<p>All accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings published by <br>the IEEE and will be indexed by both EI (Compendex) and ISTP. Further-<br>more, extended versions of many good papers will be published in <br>
SCI/SCI-E indexed journals. </p>
<p>We also plan to publish post-conference books in Lecture Notes in <br>Computer Science (LNCS) / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence <br>(LNAI) with a number of extended papers. Because the Springer Lecture <br>Notes Series will not be indexed in SCI-Expanded and will incur extra
<br>costs to authors, please indicate in your submission whether or not your <br>wish to have your paper considered for inclusion in the post-conference <br>LNCS/LNAI books.</p>
<p>In addition to regular sessions, participants are encouraged to organize <br>special sessions on specialized topics. Each special session should have <br>at least 4 papers. Special session organizers will solicit submissions,
<br>conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted <br>papers (using the same online system as the regular papers). Consult the<br>conference web page on how to submit special sessions proposals.</p>
