IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence 2020
19-24 July 2020, Scottish Event Campus, Glasgow, UK.    www.wcci2020.org

The paper submission deadline has been extended by 15 days, to 30Jan2020.

On behalf of the IEEE WCCI 2020 Organizing Committee, this is our last of eight emails to invite you to the 2020 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI 2020), which is the world's largest technical event in the field of Computational Intelligence. It hosts three flagship conferences under one roof:

• IJCNN – International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (cooperation between IEEE-CIS & INNS)
• FUZZ-IEEE – IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems
• IEEE-CEC – IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation

This encourages cross-fertilisation 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.

Important deadlines:

Call for Papers : (see the printable version) Papers for IEEE WCCI 2020 should be submitted electronically using the Congress website www.wcci2020.org and will be refereed by experts in the fields and ranked based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality and clarity.

Travel grants : As in the past, IEEE-CIS is providing a limited number of travel grants for authors of outstanding student papers. Additionally, a very limited number of travel grants for researchers of developing countries may also be available. Check the link for general details. Further information will be posted on the WCCI 2020 website at a later date.

Do you need Help?

A HELP web-page has been provided with "mailto" links to direct your inquiries to (hopefully) the Organising Committee contacts. Your queries are also copied to one or more HELPERS according to the problem :

Soon, the [CEC, FUZZ-IEEE, IJCNN] Conference and Technical Chairs will be sifting through paper submissions to cull out off-topic or incomplete papers, and to assign papers to their program committees. Program Committee members then assign papers to available reviewers, who have already received invitations to do peer reviews.
