DM: Final CALL FOR PAPERS: International Conference on Computational Int

[CIMCA99]

Dear Colleague,


The international conference on computational intelligence for 
modelling,
control and automation will be held in Vienna, Austria on 17-19 
February
1999. The conference provides a medium for the exchange of ideas 
between
theoreticians and practitioners to address the important issue in
computational intelligence, modelling, control and automation.

Please find attached a copy of the call for papers for the CIMCA'99. 
We
hope that you can contribute to CIMCA'99. 


Yours sincerely
CIMCA'99 Secretariat
