Dear colleagues, Please disseminate to interested parties and apologies for multiple postings. All the best, LM XIII Brazilian Congress on Computational Intelligence (CBIC 2017) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers - http://www.cbic2017.org On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our pleasure to invite you to the XIII Brazilian Congress on Computational Intelligence -XIII Congresso Brasileiro de Inteligência Computacional- (CBIC 2017) that will take place at the Institute of Computing of the Universidade Federal Fluminense in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 30 October to 1 November 2017. CBIC 2017 aims to provide a high-level international forum for scientists, researchers, engineers, professionals, and educators to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views of the future research directions in the area of computational intelligence. In this edition of CBIC, we have the pleasure of having top-notch researchers as keynote speakers: - Marc Schoenauer (INRIA-Saclay/LRI/Université Paris-Saclay, France), - José Manuel Molina López (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain), and - José A. Lozano (University of the Basque Country and Basque Center for Applied Mathematics, Basque Country, Spain). Paper submissions should be 10-12 pages long, written in English, Portuguese or Spanish using the Springer LNCS style. Topics of interest of CBIC are organized in three tracks (but not limited to them): - Evolutionary, swarm and nature-inspired computation: genetic algorithms, evolutionary multi-objective optimization, estimation of distribution algorithms, genetic programming, artificial immune systems, swarm intelligence, collective intelligence, evolvable hardware, bio-inspired methods, etc. - Neural and machine learning systems: artificial neural networks, deep learning, machine learning, molecular and quantum computing, complex networks, reinforcement learning, hybrid systems, etc. - Fuzzy and stochastic reasoning: fuzzy systems, fuzzy control and decision making, uncertainty analysis, rough sets, fractals, multi-agent systems, game theory, etc. For submission instructions and online submission forms go to http://www.cbic2017.org/Submissions.
