CIRAS 2009

The Congress proceedings will be published by Springer. Selected good papers will be published in the following two International Journals: International Journal of Social Robotics International Journal of Intelligent Computing and Cybernetics

OBJECTIVES: The International Conference on Computational Intelligence, Robotics and Autonomous Systems (CIRAS) will be held in Incheon, Korea in August 2009 under the auspicious of FIRA RoboWorld Congress 2009. CIRAS aims to bring together the international community of researchers and practitioners to discuss and review the latest advancements and future directions in the areas of computational Intelligence, Robotics and Autonomous Systems. The conference welcomes original, peer reviewed papers and contributions describing innovations and advances in Intelligence in automation systems from researchers, practitioners and students. Papers describing new discoveries and improvements, as well as novel applications on the latest fundamental advances in the core technologies that from the backbone of intelligent control, real time control, fuzzy logic systems, neuro-computing, DNA computing, neural networks (NN), humanoids, cooperative robotics, autonomous systems, embedded systems, and studies on genetic algorithm, hybrid CI algorithms and evolutionary computation are most welcome.

TOPICS OF INTEREST: We look forward to receive your paper submission in the areas including, but not limited to: - Intelligent Control and Real Time Control - Autonomous Systems, Survivability, Multi-Agent Systems - Neuro-computing, DNA Computing and Life Science - Fuzzy Systems, Neural-Fuzzy Systems, and Neural Networks (NN) - Distributed Systems, Embedded systems, Power Systems, and Evolutionary Systems - Educational Technology, Humanoids, Rough Sets, and Evolvable Hardware - Interaction and collaboration between robots, Robot-ethics in human society - Systems Design Automation, Multimodal Sensor Fusion, Data Mining, and Evolutionary Logistics - Cooperative Robotics, Evolutionary Robotics and Robot Soccer Systems - Hybrid CI Algorithms, Genetic Algorithm, and Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm - Evolutionary Computation (EC), Distributed and Real Time Evolutionary Computation
