Welcome to the 14th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA’14), which is held in Meio University, Okinawa, Japan, and will take place 27th - 29th November 2014 at the OIST Seaside House in Okinawa.
ISDA 2014 is co-organized by Machine Intelligence Research Labs (MIR Labs), USA; Meio University, Okinawa, Japan and EFREI, France. ISDA 2014 is Technically Sponsored by the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society (Japan Chapter) and Technically Supported by the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society Technical Committee on Soft Computing .
ISDA 2014 brings together researchers, engineers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry working in all interdisciplinary areas of intelligent systems and system engineering to share their experiences, and to exchange and cross-fertilize their ideas. The aim of ISDA 2014 is to serve as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research and development of intelligent systems, intelligent technologies, and applications.
The themes of the contributions and scientific sessions range from theories to applications, reflecting a wide spectrum of the coverage of intelligent systems and computational intelligence areas. ISDA 2014 received submissions from over 28 countries and each paper was reviewed by at least 5 reviewers in a standard peer-review process. Based on the recommendation by five independent referees, finally about 37 papers were accepted for publication (48% acceptance rate) in the proceedings published by IEEE.
Many people have collaborated and worked hard to produce a successful ISDA 2014 conference. First and foremost, we would like to thank all the authors for submitting their papers to the conference, for their presentations and discussions during the conference. Our thanks to Program Committee members and reviewers, who carried out the most difficult work by carefully evaluating the submitted papers. We have two plenary speakers:
Kenji Doya, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan
Andrew P. Paplinski, Monash University, Australia
We express our sincere thanks to the plenary speakers, special session chairs, workshop chairs and International program committee members for helping us to formulate a rich technical program. Welcome to Okinawa, Japan and hope that you will enjoy the conference program.
