Some relations between normal complex surface singularities and symplectic fillings of the links of the singularities are discussed. For a certain class of singularities of general type, which are called hypersurface K3 singularities in this paper, an inequality for numerical invariants of any minimal symplectic fillings of the links of the singularities is derived. This inequality can be regarded as a symplectic/contact analog of the 11/8-conjecture in 4-dimensional topology.
