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. Its core themes include: the Big Data challenges, Machine
Learning, Data Mining, Information Retrieval and Management, Bio- and
Neuro-Informatics, Bio-Inspired Models (including Neural Networks,
Evolutionary Computation and Swarm Intelligence), Agents and Hybrid
Intelligent Systems, and Real-world Applications of Intelligent
Techniques. Any related and emerging themes and topics such as deep
learning and Big Data are very welcome.
Potential session/workshop organizers are invited to enlist
potential papers in a cohesive topic for their special
session(s)/workshops. Proposals and enquiries can be sent to the
Programme Co-Chair, Antonio Tallon (atallon@us.es). More details are on
the next page or can be found on the conference website

Accepted papers presented at the conference will be included in the
Proceedings of IDEAL 2017, to be published by Springer in its LNCS
series, which is indexed in EI. In addition, selected papers will be
invited for special issues in several leading international journals in
the field, including the International Journals of Neural Systems
(IJNS).
Call for Workshops and Special Sessions
Special Sessions
In addition to the regular sessions, there will be special sessions
devoted to emerging topics and areas with growing attention.
Researchers and prospective organizers are invited to submit a one-page
proposal for a special session to the special session chair Antonio
Tallon (atallon@us.es) by April 30, 2017. Each proposal should include
the following information:
• The title of the special session.
• The organizers with their affiliations.
• A description of why the topic is of special interest and how it fits to the scope of IDEAL.
Each special session preferably consists of four or more
presentations. Special sessions receiving less than 4 papers will be
merged into a suitable regular session.
Workshops
Workshops focus on new and emerging topics. In contrast to special
sessions, workshops should include an introductory talk or tutorial on
the topic and will have final discussions at the end of the workshop.
Apart from the introductory talk in the discussion, Workshops should
preferably include six or more additional presentations. Researchers or
prospective organisers are invited to submit a one-page proposals for
workshops to the special session chair Antonio Tallon (atallon@us.es) by
April 30, 2017. In addition to the information required for special
sessions, workshop proposal should also include the following:
• The name(s) of the presenter(s) of the introductory talk.
• A theme for the discussion.
Paper Format and Review Process
The paper format of Special Sessions and Workshops is the same as
for the main track of the conference and so is their submission and
review process (while each Special Session or Workshop can appoint its
own reviewers if necessary, in additional to the main PC). All accepted
papers will be included in the conference proceedings.
