FLINS 2006 Call for Papers
FLINS 2006 is the seventh in a series of conferences on Applied Artificial Intelligence. It follows the successful FLINS'94 in Mol, FLINS'96 in Mol, FLINS'98 in Antwerp, FLINS 2000 in Bruges, FLINS 2002 in Gent, and FLINS 2004 in Blankenberge, Belgium. FLINS 2006, for the first time to be held outside of Belgium, will once again aim at covering state-of-the-art research and development in all aspects related to Applied AI.
FLINS, an acronym for Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent technologies in Nuclear Science, is a well-established international research forum to advance the theory and applications of computational intelligence for applied research in general and for nuclear science and engineering in particular.
The principal missions of FLINS are:
- conducting research on applied AI systems for solving intricate problems pertaining to nuclear/power research and related complex systems
- bridging the gap between machine intelligence and complex systems via joint research with Belgian, European, and international research institutes and universities
- encouraging interdisciplinary research and bringing multi-discipline researchers together via the international FLINS conferences on Applied AI
