You are cordially invited to participate in and attend the 23rd International Conference on Soft
Computing — MENDEL 2017. This year the conference is organized under the auspices of
Brno University of Technology.
The aim of the International Conference on Soft Computing — MENDEL is to serve as a forum to
present current and future work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field. All submitted
papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. Selection criteria will be based on relevance,
originality, significance, impact, technical soundness and quality of the presentation. Contributions
are expected to provide original results, insights and experimental innovations.
The accepted papers will be published in the MENDEL journal series with ISSN 1803-3814 which is
indexed in Scopus since 2006 (Hard Copy Proceedings, Open Access, SJR 0.22 Elsevier S&T) and in
AISC Springer indexed by ISI Thomson Reuters (WoS), DBLP, Google Scholar, and Springerlink.
