CALL FOR PAPERS
The Fourth International Conference on Swarm Intelligence (ICSI’2013) will be held in Harbin, China from June 12 to 15, 2013. Located in the center of Northeast Asia, Harbin is called the bright pearl on the Bridge of Eurasia Land, and it is also an important hub of Eurasia Land Bridge and air corridor. The special historical course and geographical position has contributed to Harbin, the beautiful city with an exotic tone, which not only brings together the historical culture of northern ethnic minorities, but also combines western and eastern culture. It is a famous historical and tourist city in China, with many beautiful names such as “the City of Culture”, “the City of Music”, “Ice City”, “A Pearl under the Neck of the Swan”, “Eastern Moscow” and “Eastern Little Paris”.
ICSI’2013 serves as a forum for scientists, engineers, educators, and practitioners to exchange the latest advantages in theories, technologies, and applications of swarm intelligence and related areas. Prospective authors are invited to contribute high-quality papers (6-10 pages) to ICSI’2013 through Online Submission System. Submitting to ICSI’2013 is a blind submission and the reviewing is double blind again at this year. Papers presented at ICSI’2013 will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (indexed by EI, ISTP, DBLP, and ISI) and some high-quality papers will be selected for special issues in SCI-indexed International Journals.
