CONFERENCE OVERVIEW (4th Edition of LA-CCI):

The IEEE 2017 Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence aims to (i) bring together the Soft Computing 

community to present the latest achievements and innovations in the multiple areas of Computational Intelligence and  

(ii) encourage participation by young researchers. Following the ethos of LA-CCI (check the Manifesto at http://la-cci.org/manifesto/),

we are glad to put together a high-level international forum for scientists, researchers, engineers, professionals, and educators 

to jointly disseminate latest research results and exchange views of the future research directions in the areas associated 

to Computational Intelligence. 

MAIN-TRACKS:

* Evolutionary & Swarm Computation: Genetic Algorithms, Genetic Programming, Artificial Immune Systems, Swarm 

         Intelligence, Collective Intelligence, Evolvable Hardware, Bio-inspired Methods.

* Neural & Learning Systems: Neural Networks, Machine Learning, Complex Systems, Molecular and Quantum 

        Computing, Complex Networks.

* Fuzzy & Stochastic Modeling: Fuzzy Systems, Fuzzy Control & Decision Making, Uncertainty Analysis, Rough Sets, 

         Fractals, Multiagent Systems, Reinforcement Learning, Game Theory.

SUBMISSIONS:

Papers should be no longer than 6 pages with original contributions, using the IEEE conference format, available at the 

event homepage along with other instructions. Papers can be submitted using the Easychair system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=2017ieeelacci).

PUBLICATION (And Special Issues):

-Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE LA-CCI 2017 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®

-Top papers of IEEE LA-CCI 2017 will be indexed with IEEE / Scopus and published as extended versions in

   IJSIR (Int’l Journal of Swarm Intelligence Research) e no LNLM (Learning and Non-Linear Models).
