Call for Papers Special
Session on Soft Computing in Civil Engineering 12th Online
World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial
Applications (WSC12) October 16 –
October 26, 2007 Organized by
Session Chair Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India Session Objectives Civil engineers have very well accepted soft computing
tools such as Fuzzy Computing, Neuro-Computing, Evolutionary Computing,
Probabilistic Computing, and Immunological Computing etc. for carrying out
various numerical simulation studies. In last two decades, theses tools
independently as well as in hybrid forms have been successfully applied to
varieties of problems. This special session is a perfect platform to discuss
the various soft computing applications in civil engineering domain. Wide
range of research papers with original and fundamental applications of soft
computing are invited in the following fields: ·
Structural analysis, design,
diagnostics and control problems, Structural health monitoring, Structural
material behavior modeling, earthquake engineering, etc. ·
Flood forecasting; Flood routing
model, Hydrological forecasting, Water distribution systems, etc. ·
Air quality prediction, Water quality
prediction model etc. ·
Liquefaction potential assessment,
slope stability analysis, piles design, Geo-material modeling, etc. ·
Bridge management systems, Traffic
control system, Pavement management systems, Pavement behavior models etc. ·
Geographic Information Systems (GIS),
Global Positioning Systems, Remote Sensing etc. ·
Automated inspection, Risk analysis
and decision making, Supply chain management, Construction process
reengineering, Procurement management, Environment management, and Safety
management etc. Important Dates ·
June 1, 2007 - Deadline for on-line submissions of regular papers ·
July 31, 2007 - Acceptance/rejection notification ·
September 14, 2007 - Submission
of full papers and online presentations ·
October 16 – October 26, 2007 - Online conference ·
December 1, 2007 - Submission of camera-ready papers for final review Review Process The papers will go through the two-stages review
process to maintain high standard. First stage of the review process will be carried out by session
chair that is independent from the regular conference paper review. Each
paper will have at least two independent reviews, which have to meet
scientific standards. The conference organizing committee will perform the
second stage of the review process. Paper Submission Authors should fill up the online form and
upload a full paper (max. 10 pages) in PDF format by June 1, 2007. The paper
submission guidelines will be found at following website. http://www.softcomputing.org/wsc12 Paper Acceptance
All accepted papers would be presented during
the online conference. Participants are also encouraged to present multimedia
presentations like online demonstrations, software, video clips etc.) to make
the online discussions more interesting. Authors of accepted papers have to
register and visit the conference website on a regular basis in order to
respond to questions and comments on their paper without delay. By
December 1, 2007, camera-ready copies of extended papers have to be submitted
for final review and inclusion in the conference proceedings (publisher Springer
Verlag). Extended versions of selected papers of the conference will also
be invited for a "fast track" submission for the Applied
Soft Computing Journal. Conference Registration
Authors will be required to complete an online form for
registration. Please note that the registration is open to everyone and it is completely free of
charge. The registration form will be available at http://www.softcomputing.org/wsc12 Contact Address
