The 2008 International Conference on Modelling, Identification and Control (ICMIC 2008) provides an international forum for professionals, academics, and researchers to present the latest developments from interdisciplinary theoretical studies, computational algorithm development, and applications. ICMIC 2008 particularly welcomes those emerging methodologies and techniques that bridge theoretical studies and applications in all branches of engineering and the sciences. Novel quantitative social, economical, and financial studies will be considered as well. Papers are solicited on all aspects of research, development, and applications of modelling, identification and control. For further details, please refer to the Call for Papers. ICMIC 2008 is sponsored by the International Journal of Modelling, Identification and Control (IJMIC), see http://www.inderscience.com/ijmic.
