Special Session on

Computational Intelligence for Decision Making Under Uncertainty http://scm.ulster.ac.uk/FLINS2018/ FLINS 2018 is the thirteenth in a series of conferences on computational intelligence systems with focus on Data Science and Knowledge Engineering for Sensing Decision Support. The conference will be held in Belfast, the birthplace of Titanic and the capital city of Northern Ireland, UK. FLINS 2018 proceedings will be again published as a book by the World Scientific and it will be again included in the ISI proceedings as previous ones, as well as be included in EI Compendex for indexing. Moreover, special issues of SCI indexed journals will be devoted to a strictly refereed selection of extended papers presented at FLINS 2018.

Scope and Motivation Computational Intelligence (CI) refers to theoretical aspects and applications able to represent some kind of intelligence similar to those ones present in biological systems. CI is an interdisciplinary area devoted to the development of systems that includes a large set of techniques for Decision Making under Uncertainty. In general, the set of techniques includes neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, probabilistic methods and their combinations. The topics of interest of this special session include (but are not limited to):             

Theoretical advances in Fuzzy Logic, Probabilistic Methods, Neural Networks and Evolutionary Computing; New algorithms development; Hybrid approaches and Meta-heuristics; Data Intelligent Analysis and Systems; Decision Making in Web technologies; Epidemiology; Data mining; Video and Image Classification; Pattern Recognition; Smart Technologies; Decision Making Systems and Spatial Decision Making Systems; Intelligence in Virtual Reality Systems and Serious Games; Innovative Applications in Engineering and Health Sciences.
