CFP: IEEE WCCI 2020

IEEE WCCI 2020 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence 19th - 24th July 2020 Glasgow                                Glasgow, Scotland, UK [http://wcci2020.org]

The IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI)isthe world's largest technical eventinthe field of computational intelligence. The IEEE WCCI 2020 will host three conferences: The 2020 InternationalJointConference on Neural Networks (IJCNN2020),the 2020IEEEInternationalCon­ferenceon FuzzySystems (FUZZ-IEEE 2020), and the 2020 IEEECongresson Evolutionary Computation (IEEECEC2020) under oneroof. Itencourages cross-fertilisationof ideasamong the threebigareas and provides a forum for intellectuals from all over the world to discuss and present their research findings on computational intelligence.

IEEE WCCI 2020 will be held in Glasgow - one of Europe's most dynamic cultural capitals and the "world's friendliest city" - located in Scotland, "the most beautiful country in the world" [Rough Guides 2015, 2017]. Steeped in cul­ture, rich in history and alive with an excitement visitors will sense as they walk through its elegant Victorian streets, squares, parks and gardens. The Conference is being hosted at the prestigious Scottish Event Campus (SEC), which was a key venue for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014 [ https://www.sec.co•uk/ ].

IJCNN is the flagship conference of the International Neural Network Society and the IEEE Computational Intelli­gence Society. It covers a wide range of topics in the field of neural networks, from biological neural network mod­elling to artificial neural computation.

FUZZ-IEEE is the foremost conference in the field of fuzzy systems. It covers all topics in fuzzy systems, from theory to applications.

IEEE CEC is the leading event in the field of evolutionary computation, and covers all topics in evolutionary compu­tation from theory to applications.

Call for Papers

Electronic submission of papers for IEEE WCCI 2020 will be required through the Congress website at www.wcci2020.orgAll papers will be refereed by experts in the fields and ranked based on the criteria of original­ity, significance, quality and clarity. See Important Dates above.

Call for Tutorials

IEEE WCCI 2020 will solicit proposals for tutorials offering a unique opportunity to disseminate in-depth informa­tion on specific topics in computational intelligence. Tutorials will be organized by scientists or professionals who have significant expertise in the selected topic and whose recent work has had a significant impact in their field. For enquiries, please contact the Tutorials Co-Chair most appropriate to your topic.

Call for Special Sessions

IEEE WCCI 2020 will solicit proposals for Special Sessions within the technical scope of the three conferences. Spe­cial Sessions are expected to be organised by internationally recognised experts, with aims to bring together re­searchers in special focused topics. Cross-fertilisation of the three technical disciplines and newly emerging re­search areas are strongly encouraged. Inquiries should be addressed to the Special Session co-Chair most appropri­ate to your topic.

Call for Workshops

IEEE WCCI 2020 will solicit proposals for half or full-day workshops to provide participants with the opportunity to present and discuss novel research ideas on active and emerging CI topics, challenging problems and/or industrial applications. Workshop organizers are encouraged to make their workshops highly interactive, and include discus­sions, Q&A and panel sessions to facilitate a lively exchange of ideas among the attendees. Inquiries regarding should be addressed to the Workshops Chairs.

Call for Competitions

IEEE WCCI 2020 will host competitions to stimulate research in computational intelligence. A competition proposal should include descriptions of the problem(s) addressed, evaluation procedures, and a biography of the organisers. Inquiries regarding competitions should be addressed to the Competitions Chairs.
