The international conference on computational intelligence for modelling, control and automation will be held in Vienna, 
Austria on 10-12 December 2008. The conference provides a medium for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians and 
practitioners to address the important issues in computational intelligence, modelling, control and automation. 
The conference will consist of both plenary sessions and contributory sessions, focusing on theory, implementation 
and applications of computational intelligence techniques to modelling, control and automation. For contributory 
sessions, papers (4 pages or more) are being solicited. Several well-known keynote speakers will address the
 conference. 

Conference Proceedings will be published as books by IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering) in USA 
and will be index world wide. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers.
