SOCO 2026
About
21st International Conference on Soft Computing Models in Industrial and Environmental Applications
SOCO’26 Proceedings will be published by Communications in Computer and Information Science (Tentative)
Soft computing represents a collection or set of computational techniques in machine learning, computer science and some engineering disciplines, which investigate, simulate, and analyze very complex issues and phenomena. This Conference is mainly focus on its industrial and environmental applications. In conjunction with: 21st International Conference on Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems HAIS 2026, 17th International Conference on EUropean Transnational Education ICEUTE 2026 and 19th International Conference on Computational Intelligence in Security for Information Systems CISIS 2026.
