About HIS'18:
----------------------------
Conference 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. Hybrid Intelligent Systems are getting popular due to their capabilities in handling several real-world complexities involving imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness. The objectives of HIS'18 are to increase the awareness of the research community of the broad spectrum of hybrid techniques, to bring together AI researchers from around the world to present their cutting-edge results, to discuss the current trends in HIS research, to develop a collective vision of future opportunities, to establish international collaborative opportunities, and as a result to advance the state of the art of the field. HIS'18 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 expected to be published by Springer.
