MISC 2018

After the success of the previous editions of MISC symposium (MISC 2010, MISC 2012, MISC 2014 and MISC 2016), the MISC laboratory at University of Constantine 2 - Abdelhamid Mehri organizes the fifth edition of this symposium (MISC 2018) from December 16 to 18, 2018, in the University of Laghouat - Amar Telidji, Algeria. it is a growing university in southern Algeria located around important tourist sites. This symposium is intended as a tradition offering open forum and meeting space for researchers working in the field of complex systems science. This edition proposes three tracks: "Networking and Communication Systems", "Software Engineering and Formal Methods”, and " Soft Computing, Optimization, Routing and Packing".
