New CIS LinkedIn Subgroups

The Industry Liaison Sub-Committee announces the formation of two new LinkedIn subgroups of the main IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (IEEE CIS) group.

The first is called "Industry" and is meant to serve all the CIS industrial members by offering a medium of communication and linkage for CIS industrial members.  You can use this group to get informed on webinars/tutorials being organized for industrial members, join working groups or discussions around CI industrial activities and share products/services within the CIS community.  If you are interested in joining, please head to http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=4393875&trk=hb_side_g&_mSplash=1 for more details or contact the Industry Liaison Sub-Committee Chair at rabielmo@ieee.org.

The second is called "Working Group on CI Real-World Applications" and is meant to serve the working group on CI real-world applications which will discuss contemporary issues with CI real-world applications and disseminate the main ideas that are formed and agreed upon by the working group.  If you are interested in joining, please head to http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=4393880&trk=hb_side_g&_mSplash=1 for more details or contact the Industry Liaison Sub-Committee Chair at rabielmo@ieee.org.
