Haikou, the capital city of Hainan Province, is a pleasant modern city with a number of historical and cultural sights to see and to hold you for a few days before heading off to Hainan's beautiful beaches and inland villages. ICNC'07-FSKD'07 aims to provide an international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of intelligent methods inspired from nature, including biological, linguistic, ecological, and physical systems, with applications to data mining, manufacturing, design, reliability, and more. It is an exciting and emerging inter- disciplinary area in which a wide range of techniques and methods are being studied for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems. Previously, the joint conferences in 2005 and 2006 each attracted over 3100 submissions from more than 30 countries. All accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be indexed by both EI (Compendex) and ISTP. Furthermore, extended versions of many good papers will be published in special issues of journals, Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI), and will be indexed in SCI-Expanded. In addition to regular sessions, participants are encouraged to organize special sessions on specialized topics. Each special session should have at least 4 papers. Special session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers.
