General Conference Info

The 2008 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI 2008, www.wcci2008.org) will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre during June 1-6, 2008 (Sunday - Friday). 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). The congress will feature world-renowned plenary speakers, regular technical sessions, state-of-the-art special sessions, interactive poster sessions, moderated panel discussions, informative pre-congress tutorials, complementary post-congress workshops, and entertaining social functions.

WCCI 2008 received a record number of submissions (over 2500) from authors in over 70 countries across all six inhabitable continents. WCCI 2008 will also feature pre-congress tutorials and post-congress workshops covering fundamental and advanced computational intelligence topics. WCCI 2008 Technical Programs will include special sessions within the technical scopes of the three conferences. So far, 90 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.

Most importantly, WCCI 2008 will host competitions to stimulate research in computational intelligence, promote fair evaluations, and attract students. The competitions will take place between December 2007 and May 2008.
