The International Conference on Intelligent Computing (ICIC) was formed to p- vide an annual forum dedicated to the emerging and challenging topics in artificial intelligence, machine learning, bioinformatics, and computational biology, etc. It aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and ind- try to share ideas, problems and solutions related to the multifaceted aspects of intelligent computing. ICIC 2008, held in Shanghai, China, September 15–18, 2008, constituted the 4th International Conference on Intelligent Computing. It built upon the success of ICIC 2007, ICIC 2006 and ICIC 2005 held in Qingdao, Kunming and Hefei, China, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This year, the conference concentrated mainly on the theories and methodologies as well as the emerging applications of intelligent computing. Its aim was to unify the picture of contemporary intelligent computing techniques as an integral concept that highlights the trends in advanced computational intelligence and bridges theoretical research with applications. Therefore, the theme for this conference was “Emerging Intelligent Computing Technology and Applications”. Papers focusing on this theme were solicited, addressing theories, methodologies, and applications in science and technology.

This book - in conjunction with the two volumes CCIS 0015 and LNAI 5226 - constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Intelligent Computing, ICIC 2008, held in Shanghai, China, in September 2008.

The 152 revised full papers of this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 2336 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on biological and quantum computing, intelligent computing in bioinformatics, computational genomics and proteomics, intelligent computing in signal processing, intelligent computing in pattern recognition, intelligent computing in communication, intelligent agent and web applications, intelligent fault diagnosis, intelligent control and automation, intelligent data fusion and security, intelligent prediction and time series analysis, natural language processing and expert systems, intelligent image/document retrievals, network-based intelligence and automation, intelligent robot systems based on vision technology, and computational intelligence for image analysis.
