Call for Papers: IEEE WCCI 2016

The IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI) is the largest technical event in the field of computational intelligence. The IEEE WCCI 2016 will host three conferences: The 2016 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2016), the 2016 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE2016), and the 2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC 2016) under one roof. It encourages cross-fertilization of ideas among the three big areas and provides a forum for intellectuals from all over theworld to discuss and present their research findings on computational intelligence.

IEEE WCCI 2016 will be held at the Vancouver Convention Centre, Vancouver, Canada. Vancouver is Canada’s Pacific gem, offering a winning combination of world-class hotels, meeting venues, and restaurants in a setting of spectacular beauty. Few convention cities can offer such a wide range of cosmopolitan amenities in a downtown core that is safe, clean, pedestrian friendly, and stunning in its backdrop of mountains and ocean.

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 modeling 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 a major event in the field of evolutionary computation, and covers all topics in evolutionary computation from theory to applications.

A tutorial proposal should include title, outline, expected enrollment, and presenter/organizer biography. Inquiries regarding tutorials should be addressed to Tutorials Chairs.

Call for Special Session Proposals

IEEE WCCI 2016 solicits proposals for special sessions within the technical scope of the three conferences. Special sessions, to be organized by internationally recognized experts, aim to bring together researchers in special focused topics. Cross-fertilization of the three technical disciplines and newly emerging research areas are strongly encouraged. Inquiries regarding special sessions and proposals should be addressed to Special Sessions Chairs.

Call for Papers: Special Session at IJCNN 2015 on Neuro-Adaptive Systems for Big Data and Social Media Analysis

The ever increasing aspect of social networking and deployment of advanced digital sensors, to gather data particularly with high social content has interesting dimensions to be explored. The content variation in the data/media streams poses a challenging task to the data scientists in terms of adaptability required to capture the sense and context of the problem being addressed. The adaptability thus required has to cater multi-faceted issues. These issues pertain to considerations related to the 4V’s of Big Data (Volume, Variety, Velocity and Veracity).

The neuro-adaptive systems have been used in the past to capture the variation and to incorporate adaptiveness within the systems. The aim of this special session is to solicit contributions that are based on statistical learning, lazy learning, artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic based, evolutionary, genetic, knowledge system and adaptive algorithms designed to focus on Big Data, Social Media Analytics especially in the context of the topics listed for the special session.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Data Science and Social Analytics
• Emerging Technologies and their Complexities
• Modelling and Visualization
• Parallelization and Distributed Processing
• Personalized Digital Activities
• Opinion Mining and Sentiment Analysis
• Author Profiling, Personality and Behavioral Predictions 
• Ontology Analysis
• Web Content Mining
• Community Structure Prediction
• Trust Recommendation Modeling

Important Dates:

Paper submission: February 5, 2015
Paper decision notification: March 25, 2015
Camera-ready submission: April 25, 2015
Conference days: July 12-17, 2015
