it is our great pleasure to invite you to the IEEE World Congress on 
Computational Intelligence.

The 2020 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI 
2020) is the world's largest technical event in the field of 
computational intelligence. IEEE WCCI 2020 will host three flagship 
conferences under one roof :

  * IJCNN - International Joint Conference on Neural Networks
    (cooperation between IEEE-CIS & INNS)
  * FUZZ-IEEE - IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems
  * IEEE-CEC   - IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation

This encourages cross-fertilisation of ideas among the three big areas 
and provides a forum for intellectuals from all over the world to 
discuss and present their research findings on computational intelligence.

*Important deadlines:
