2018 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence
Windsor Convention Centre, Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL
08-13 July 2018
—————————–~********~——————————–
On behalf of the IEEE WCCI 2018 Organizing Committee, it is our great
pleasure to invite you to the bi-annual IEEE World Congress on
Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI), which is the largest technical
event in the field of computational intelligence. The IEEE WCCI 2018
will host three conferences: The 2018 International Joint Conference
on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2018 – co-sponsored by International Neural
Network Society – INNS), the 2018 IEEE International Conference
on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2018), and the 2018 IEEE Congress on
Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC 2018) under one roof. It encourages
cross-fertilization of ideas among the three big areas and provides a
forum for intellectuals from all over the world to discuss and present
their research findings on computational intelligence.
IEEE WCCI 2018 will be held at the Windsor Convention Centre,
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rio de Janeiro is one of the most attractive
cities in South America, with the largest urban forest in the world,
beautiful bays, lagoons and 90 kms of beaches and mountains.
Known as one of the most beautiful cities in the World, Rio de Janeiro
is the first city to receive the certificate of World Heritage for its
Cultural Landscape. This unprecedented title was recently conferred by
the United Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization
(UNESCO).

Special Sessions, Tutorials, Competitions & Workshops
—————————–~*******~———————-——-
Special Sessions:
Special session proposals are invited to the 2018 IEEE WCCI.
Special session proposals should include the title, aim and scope
(including a list of main topics), and the names of the organizers
of the special session, together with a short biography of all
organizers. A list of potential contributors will be very helpful.
All special sessions proposals should be submitted to the Special
Sessions Chairs, according to the most appropriate topic:
Cesare Alippi (IJCNN) alippi@elet.polimi.it
Chuan-Kang Ting (CEC) ckting@cs.ccu.edu.tw
Mengjie Zhang (Cross-Disciplinary and CI Applications) Mengjie.Zhang@ecs.vuw.ac.nz
Tutorials:
The IEEE WCCI 2018 solicits proposals for tutorials aimed at
researchers, students and practicing professionals. Tutorials
offer a unique opportunity to disseminate in-depth information
on specific topics in computational intelligence. If you are
interested in proposing a tutorial, would like to recommend
someone who might be interested, or have questions about tutorials,
please contact the Tutorials Co-Chairs:
Keeley Crocket k.crockett@mmu.ac.uk
Andre Carvalho andre@icmc.usp.br
Carmelo Filho carmelo.filho@upe.br
Competitions:
Prospective competition organizers are invited to submit their
proposals to the Competitions Chairs below. A common website
for all accepted competitions will be provided on the congress
website, for which a link to the homepage of each competition
maintained by their organizers independently will be provided.
Simon Lucas ñ sml@essex.ac.uk
Chang-Shing Lee ñ changshing.lee@gmail.com
Workshops:
The IEEE WCCI 2018 invites proposals for workshops to be held
in conjunction with the main event. The overall purpose of a
workshop is to provide participants with the opportunity to
present and discuss novel research ideas on active and emerging
topics of Computational Intelligence. Topics of the proposed
workshops should therefore be aligned with those set forth in
the call for papers for the main event. Prospective workshop
organizers are invited to submit their proposals to the Workshops
Chairs below:
Richard Duro ñ Richard@udc.es
Robi Polikar ñ polikar@rowan.edu
