    1998 ACM SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING
(ACM SAC '98)
Fuzzy and Soft Computing Applications Track
February 28-March 2, 1998
Atlanta, Georgia, U. S. A.
######################################################################
###

Over the past twelve years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has
become a  primary forum for applied computer scientists and
application developers  from  around the world to interact and present
their work. SAC '98 is sponsored  by  the ACM Special Interest Groups
SIGAda, SIGAPP, SIGBIO, and SIGCUE.

Fuzzy Applications and Soft Computing Track
===========================================

Authors are invited to contribute original papers or abstracts for a
short paper session in all areas of experimental soft computing. Panel
and workshop proposals which deal with the symposium themes are
encouraged.
Papers and posters are solicited in all areas of Fuzzy Applications,
and include (but are not limited to) the following themes:
- Fuzzy control
- Fuzzy techniques for image analysis and processing
- Fuzzy information retrieval systems and databases
- Fuzzy hardware systems
- Fuzzy methods in software engineering
Look for additional information in SIG newsletters or contact the
Track Chair. Also check the SAC Fuzzy Track WWW page:

PAPERS
=======

Original papers and posters dealing with any aspect of soft computing
applications will be considered for presentation and publication in
the SAC '98 Proceedings.
This includes three categories of submissions:
1) original and unpublished research;
2) reports of innovative computing applications in the arts,sciences,
engineering, business, government, education and industry;
3) reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.
Each
category of submissions will be reviewed by peer groups appropriate to
that category.  Accepted papers in all categories will be published in
the conference proceedings.





SAC198 Soft Computing Track Submission Guidelines
=====================

Submission guidelines must be strictly followed:

* Mail six (6) copies of the paper to the Track Chair.
(For electronic submission consult the Track Chair)

* The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of
the paper; self-reference should be in the third person. This is to
facilitate blind review.

* The body of the paper should not exceed 4000 words (about 15 pages,
double-spaced).

* A separate cover sheet included with the submission should show the
title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the
address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which correspondence
should be sent.

* All submissions must be received by SEPTEMBER 20, 1997.
