Papers related to this theme were especially solicited, including theories, methodologies, and applications in science and technology. In light of this trend, the theme for this conference was “Emerging Intelligent Computing Technology and Applications”. The resulting techniques vitalize life science engineering and daily life applications. In particular, bio-inspired computing emerged as having a key role in pursuing for novel technology in recent years. It intended to unify the contemporary intelligent computing techniques within an integral framework that highlights the trends in advanced computational intelligence and bridges theoretical research with applications. This year, the conference concentrated mainly on the theories and methodologies as well as the emerging applications of intelligent computing. ICIC 2006 held in Kunming, Yunnan, China, August 16-19, 2006, was the second International Conference on Intelligent Computing, built upon the success of ICIC 2005 held in Hefei, China, 2005. It aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to share ideas, problems and solutions related to the multifaceted aspects of intelligent computing. Preface The International Conference on Intelligent Computing (ICIC) was formed to provide an annual forum dedicated to the emerging and challenging topics in artificial intelligence, machine learning, bioinformatics, and computational biology, etc. Springer is a part of Springer Science+Business Media © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006 Printed in Germany Typesetting: Camera-ready by author, data conversion by Scientific Publishing Services, Chennai, India Printed on acid-free paper SPIN: 11816171 06/3142 543210 Violations are liable to prosecution under the German Copyright Law.
