This workshop is mainly focused on its industrial applications. SOCO 2010 is the 5th International Workshop on Soft Computing Models in Industrial Applications and provides interesting opportunities to present and discuss the latest theoretical advances and real world applications in this multidisciplinary research field. SOCO 2010 will be held in the beautiful and historic city of Guimarães, Portugal, nominated by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage. With exceptional opportunities for sightseeing and gastronomy, Guimarães is a wonderful venue for a great workshop. ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Everyone interested in participating and presenting his work in this workshop may do so by sending a contribution. There are three possibilities: 1. Long papers: consisting of original, relevant and previously unpublished sound research results, related to any of the topics of the conference, with a maximum of 8 (eight) pages. 2. Short papers: can be project reports, a summary of a PhD thesis or work in progress, with no more than 4 (four) pages. 3. Doctoral consortium: PhD students are invited to present the topic and progress of their research, in order to obtain feedback from a panel of experts.
