CIS Webinars

Dear Colleagues,

The Webinars program of the CIS is to organize seminars and distributes them through the web, where hot topics in Computational Intelligence are disseminated to our society members. Our society is looking for interested and capable individuals to disseminate their latest research findings or provide tutorial regarding CI topics to our members at large.

Webinars are an effective and efficient tool to perform these presentations; therefore, you are kindly invited to give a webinar in Computational Intelligence to our society members. The webinar will be archived in the CIS Education repository  If you are interested, please submit a talk title to the Webinars Subcommittee Chair , Moufid Harb , at mharb@ieee.org.

We appreciate your cooperation
