The International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning (IDEAL) is an annual international conference dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data analysis, data mining and their associated learning systems and paradigms. After recent successful events, IDEAL 2011 (Norwich), IDEAL 2010 (Paisley), 2009 (Burgos), 2008 (Daejeon) and 2007 (Birmingham), the 13th International Conference, IDEAL 2012, will be held from 29th to 31th August 2012, in Natal, Brazil.
This conference provides an opportunity and stimulating forum to present and discuss the latest theoretical advances and real-world applications in computational intelligence and intelligent data analysis. Authors and special session organisers are warmly invited to submit their latest findings and research work to the conference. We look forward to receiving your contributions and meeting you in Natal.
