Brief Desciption:

The Eighth International Conference on Swarm Intelligence (ICSI’2017) serves as an important forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange latest advantages in theories, technologies, and applications of swarm intelligence and related areas. The ICSI’2017 is the eighth annual event in this high-reputation ICSI series after Bali event (ICSI’2016), Beijing joint event (ICSI-CCI’2015), Hefei event (ICSI’ 2014), Harbin event (ICSI’ 2013), Shenzhen event (ICSI’ 2012), Chongqing event (ICSI’ 2011) and Beijing event (ICSI’2010). Papers presented at the ICSI’2017 will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (indexed by EI Compendex, ISTP, DBLP, SCOPUS, Web of Science ISI Thomson, etc.), some high-quality papers will be selected for SCI-indexed Transaction and Journal (including IEEE/ACM Trans on CBB, NC, CC, IJSIR, IJCIPR, etc.). 



For the topics and other materials, please visit conference website: http://www.ic-si.org, for details.



Sponsored by Kyushu University, Peking University. Technically Co-sponsored by IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, Japan Chapter of IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society, World Federation of Soft Computing, International Neural Network Society, Springer-Verlag, etc.(more to be added).



The ICSI’2017 will be held in the center of the Fukuoka City. Historical city, Fukuoka, is the 5th largest city in Japan with 1.6 million populations and locates at the northern end of the Kyushu Island and is the economical and cultural center of whole Kyushu Island. Because of its closeness to the Asian mainland, Fukuoka has been an important harbor city for many centuries. Today's Fukuoka is the product of the fusion of two cities in the year 1889, when the port city of Hakata and the former castle town of Fukuoka were united into one city called Fukuoka. 



We are sure that you will have a wonderful experience of visiting Fukuoka of Japan during the ICSI 2017.



We look forward to welcoming you in Japan in 2017!
