CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd Latin-American Congress on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI)
12o Congresso Brasileiro de Inteligência Computacional  (CBIC)
Curitiba (PR), Brazil
October, 13th-16th 2015

LA-CCI and CBIC are co-located and they are aimed to provide a
high-level international forum for scientists, researchers, engineers,
professionals and educators to disseminate their latest research
results and exchange views of the future research directions in the
area of Computational Intelligence.
In the first day of the event, both the Brazilian and the
Latin-American Schools of Computational Intelligence will take place,
delivering introductory and specialized tutorials with special focus
on students. The events include, also, national and international
key-speakers, bringing the state-of-the-art research in Computational
Intelligence. Tutorials, workshops and key-speakers presentations for
LA-CCI will be in English. Similarly, all activities of CBIC will be
in Portuguese or Spanish.
The conferences will be sponsored by the Federal University of
Technology – Paraná (UTFPR) at Curitiba. Curitiba is the largest city
of southern Brazil, with about 3.5 million people in the metropolitan
region. It is a major hub for domestic airlines and some international
flights. There are several touristic attractions in Curitiba,
including museums, theaters, football arenas, parks and entertainment.
The city is also considered the “ecological capital” of Brazil due to
its extensive green areas and the environmental issues. Curitiba is 1
hour-flight far from São Paulo, and less than 2 from Rio de Janeiro,
Porto Alegre or Foz do Iguaçu (in the triple frontier with Paraguay
and Argentina).
