CALL FOR PAPERS 13th International Conference on Neural Computation Theory and Applications New Regular/Position Paper Submission Deadline: July 02, 2021 http://www.ncta.ijcci.org/ <http://www.ncta.ijcci.org/> October 25 - 27, 2021 Online Streaming In Cooperation with Spanish Association of Artificial Intelligence Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence Associazione Italiana per l'Intelligenza Artificiale Neural computation and artificial neural networks, especially in relation to deep learning, have seen an explosion of interest over the recent decades, and are being successfully applied across an extraordinary range of problem domains, in areas as diverse as finance, medicine, engineering, geology and physics, in problems of complex dynamics and complex behavior prediction, classification or control. Several architectures, learning strategies and algorithms have been introduced in this highly dynamic field in the last couple of decades. Nowadays, having reached notable scientific and applicative maturity, neural computation and related techniques are considered as major basis toward the completion of intelligent artificial systems. This conference intends to be a major forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners interested in the study, analysis, design, modeling and implementation of neural computing systems, both theoretically and in a broad range of application fields. Conference Chair(s) Juan Julian Merelo, University of Granada, Spain Kevin Warwick (honorary), University of Reading and Coventry University, United Kingdom Program Chair(s) H. K. Lam, King's College London, United Kingdom Marie Cottrell, Université Paris1, France With the presence of internationally distinguished keynote speakers: Susana Vieira, University of Lisbon, Portugal Joseph Rynkiewicz, Université de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, France Carlos Coello, CINVESTAV-IPN, Mexico Barbara Hammer, Bielefeld University, Germany Proceedings will be submitted for indexation by: SCOPUS, Google Scholar, The DBLP Computer Science Bibliography, Semantic Scholar, Microsoft Academic, Engineering Index (EI), Web of Science / Conference Proceedings Citation Index. A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer in a SCI Series book. All papers presented at the conference venue will also be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. Also, a short list of best papers will be invited for a post-conference special issue of the Springer Nature Computer Science journal.
