Joint with ISCIII 2014
The IEEE 7th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information
Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM
2014) collocated with 6th International Symposium on Computational Intelligence and
Intelligent Informatics (ISCIII 2014) to be held at the Hotel Centro, Puerto Princesa,
Palawan from November 12-16, 2014.
The IEEE 7th HNICEM and 6th ISCIII are being organized by the IEEE Philippines
Section together with the De La Salle University, Neuronemech, and IEEE
Computational Intelligence Society, Philippines Chapter. It is one of the premier
international technical conferences of the Asia Pacific Region. The HNICEM and
ISCIIIA has been held since 2003 and provides an important forum for researchers and
engineers from industry, and professors and graduate students from the academia to
network and to discuss new ideas and development in emerging areas of electrical and
electronic engineering, computers science and related topics.
The conference will feature plenary and invited talks by eminent scientists and
engineers, tutorials, paper presentations, poster sessions and industrial exhibits. Our
theme for this year, “Disaster Readiness through Humanitarian Technology”,
addresses the generation and application of innovative engineering and technology to
improve the standard of living and way of life of underserved and unserved
communities. This theme encompasses more than electrical engineering and computer
science, and reflects the relevance of HNICEM/ISCIII to a broad range of engineering
disciplines.
Scope and Topics
The program committee solicits high quality papers containing original contributions
in all areas of theory and applications of robotics, mechatronics, automation,
nanotechnology, information technology, communication, controls, environment and
management, including but not limited to: • circuits and systems • computing
architectures and systems • signal processing • power and energy • biomedical
engineering • human-friendly welfare, industrial, biomedical, agricultural,
