2008 IEEE WORLD CONGRESS ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
June 1-6, 2008; Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
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 world-renowned plenary 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 functions.

Call for Contributed 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. 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@[EMAIL PROTECTED]

*************************************************
Call for Special Sessions
WCCI 2008 Program Committees solicit proposals for special sessions within
the technical scopes 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
research areas of
computational intelligence with new emerging technologies is strongly
encouraged. Papers submitted for special sessions are to be peer-reviewed
with the same criteria used for the contributed papers. Researchers
interested in organizing special sessions are invited to submit formal
proposals to IJCNN2008

by November 1, 2007. A special session proposal
should include a proposed session title, a brief description of the scope
and motivation, biographic and contact information of the organizer(s).
*************************************************
Call for Tutorials and Workshops
WCCI 2008 will also feature pre-congress tutorials and post-congress
workshops covering fundamental and advanced computational intelligence
topics. A tutorial proposal should include title, outline, expected
enrollment, and presenter biography. Any inquires regarding the tutorials
should be addressed to Tutorial Chairs Wlodzislaw Duch at wduch@[EMAIL PROTECTED]

*************************************************
Call for Competitions
WCCI 2008 will host competitions to stimulate research in computational
intelligence, promote fair evaluations, and attract students. The
proposals should include descriptions of the problems addressed,
motivations and expected impact on computational intelligence, data
description, evaluation procedures and established baselines, schedules,
anticipated number of participants, and a biography of the main team
members. Proposals are invited to be sent to Competitions Chairs Isabelle
