CEC 2006 -- Call for paper on Hardware Architectures for Genetic, Neural and Fuzzy Systems

2006 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation
Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
16-21 July 2006

Special Session on Hardware Architectures for Genetic, Neural and Fuzzy
Systems
http://www.isebis.eng.uerj.br/HARD-GNF.html

Genetic Algorithms (GA), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as well as
Fuzzy Systems (FS) are becoming omnipresent in almost every intelligent
system design. Just to name few, engineering, control, economics and
forecasting are some of the scientific fields that enjoy the use of ANN
and FS.
Unfortunately, the majority of the applications is complex and so
requires a large computational effort to yield useful and practical
results.
Therefore, dedicated hardware for evolutionary, neural and fuzzy
computation is
becoming a key issue for designers. With the spread of reconfigurable
hardware such as FPGAs and FPAAs, digital as well as analog hardware
implementations of such computation become cost-effective.

The focus of this special session will be on all aspects of for
high-speed hardware implementations for genetic algorithms, neural
networks and
fuzzy controllers. Hybrid implementations using co-design methodology
are
also welcome. The main topics can be listed as follows:

Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Hardware implementations of genetic algorithms;
* Hardware implementations of Neural Networks;
* Hardware implementations of fuzzy systems;
* Hardware/Software co-design of GA;
* Hardware/Software co-design of ANNs;
* Hardware/Software co-design of FSs;
* Hardware for hybrid systems

Important dates:
* Paper Submission: 31 January 2006
* Decision Notification: 15 March 2006
* Camera-Ready Submission: 15 April 2006

Authors of accepted papers in this special session will be asked to
extend them for possible inclusion in a planned special issue of the
International Journal Neurocomputing
(http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505628/description),
published by Elsevier (http://www.elsevier.com ). More details about
the special issue can be found at
