2008 IEEE WORLD CONGRESS ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

June 1-6, 2008
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Hong Kong

http://www.wcci2008.org

The 2008 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI 2008) will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre during June 1-6, 2008. Sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, co-sponsored by the International Neural Network Society, Evolutionary Programming Society and the Institution of Engineering and Technology, WCCI 2008 is composed of the 2008 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2008), the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2008) and the 2008 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC 2008). WCCI 2008 will be the fifth milestone in this series with a glorious history from WCCI 1994 in Orlando, WCCI 1998 in Anchorage, WCCI 2002 in Honolulu, to WCCI 2006 in Vancouver. The congress will feature 20 world-renowned plenary and invited speakers, regular technical sessions, state-of-the-art special sessions, interactive poster sessions, moderated panel discussions, informative pre-congress tutorials, themed post-congress workshops, and entertaining social events.

Call for Papers

Researchers are invited to contribute high-quality papers to WCCI 2008. All papers are to be submitted electronically through the Congress website by December 1, 2007 at http://manuscript.wcci2008.org/v3/author . All submitted papers will be refereed by experts in the fields based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and clarity.

For inquiries, contact IJCNN2008 Program Chair Derong Liu at dliu@ece.uic.edu , FUZZ-IEEE2008 Program Chair Gary Feng at megfeng@cityu.edu.hk , or CEC2008 Program Chair Zbigniew Michalewicz at zbyszek@cs.adelaide.edu.au .

WCCI 2008 Technical Programs will include special sessions within the technical scopes of the three conferences. So far, 88 special sessions have been approved. Special sessions, organized by internationally recognized experts, aim to bring together researchers in special focused topics. Cross-fertilization of the three research areas of computational intelligence with new emerging technologies is strongly encouraged. Any enquiries about the special sessions can be sent to the special session organizers, IJCNN2008 Special Sessions Chair Jagath C. Rajapakse at asjagath@ntu.edu.sg , FUZZ-IEEE2008 Special Sessions Chair Xiao-Jun Zeng at x.zeng@manchester.ac.uk , CEC2008 Special Sessions Chair Yuhui Shi at shi@ieee.org, or Special Sessions Chair on Emerging Areas Byoung-Tak Zhang at btzhang@bi.snu.ac.kr. The list of 88 approved special sessions can be found http://www.wcci2008.org/speicalsessions.htm .

Call for Tutorials and Workshops

WCCI 2008 will also feature pre-congress tutorials and post-congress workshops covering fundamental and advanced computational intelligence topics.
