The International Workshop on Advanced Computational Intelligence (IWACI2008) aims to explore advanced techniques and approaches in the field of computational intelligence for innovative applications. The workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers to present and disseminate their latest on-going research work and a chance to share their research work with other internationally renowned researchers. A special issue of extended invited papers will be published by the International Journal of Intelligent Computing and Cybernetics.

The workshop includes all topics listed under the WCCI2008's site. However, the workshop will favor papers representing advanced theories and innovative applications. Papers will be selected based on originality, significance, technical quality, and clarity.

Prospective authors are invited to submit a full paper not exceeding 20 pages following the IJICC format. All submitted papers will be refereed by experts in the respective fields according to the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and clarity. Authors should submit their papers through the submission website by April 30, 2008.
