CFP: 2019 IEEE CEC Special Session on Evolutionary Computation in Finance and Economics

Supported by the IEEE CIS Computational Finance and Economics Technical Committee

Important Dates

Submission Deadline: 7 January 2019
Acceptance Notification: 7 March 2019 

Scope and Topics: 

Computational Finance and Economics covers a wide area of topics and techniques. The arrival of new computational methods, especially from Evolutionary Computation (EC), continually pushes the boundaries of the field outwards. That, together with the advances in available hardware, have contributed to a growing interest in applying EC techniques to solve different financial and economics problems. This Special Session is dedicated to the application of Evolutionary Computation methodologies to such problems. We welcome papers from any algorithm from the EC field, as well as hybrid EC methods. Applications include (but not limited to):

• Algorithmic trading
• Artificial stock markets
• Agent-based models
• Digital currencies
• Financial forecasting
• Financial engineering
• Financial networks
• Insurance
• Portfolio selection and management
• Pricing complex financial products
• Risk management systems 

Paper Submission:

Please follow the IEEE CEC2019 Submission Web Site. Special session papers are treated the same as regular conference papers. Please specify that your paper is submitted to the Special Session in Evolutionary Computation in Finance and Economics. All papers accepted and presented at CEC2019 will be included in the conference proceedings published by IEEE Explore, which are typically indexed by EI.
