Conference Report on 2016 IEEE World Congress
on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI 2016)

t

he IEEE World Congress on
Computational Intelligence
(IEEE WCCI) is a leading conference in the field of computational
intelligence. The conference encompasses a broad set of topics, including neural
networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary
computation, and more. In 2016, IEEE
WCCI was held from 24-29 July at the
Vancouver Convention Centre in the
beautiful downtown of Vancouver, Canada. Since the first WCCI, which took
place in Orlando in 1994, the 2016
congress also marked the ninth milestone in the IEEE WCCI series.
IEEE WCCI has traditionally been
sponsored by the IEEE Computational
Intelligence Society (IEEE CIS), the
International Neural Network Society
(INNS), the Evolutionary Programming
Society (EPS), and the Institution of
Engineering and Technology (IET). This
year, the congress also received financial
supports from the Gulf University for
Science and Technology as a Gold
Sponsor and IEEE Big Data Initiative as
a Bronze Sponsor. By hosting three
main conferences: the 2016 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2016), the 2016 IEEE
International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2016), and the 2016
IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC 2016) under one
roof, the congress brought together

researchers and practitioners from all
over the world to exchange and present
their thoughts over a comprehensive
range of research and applications in the
field of computational intelligence.

IEEE WCCI 2016 received a record
number of 3,015 paper submissions and
more than 1,800 registrations from over
70 countries. Among the submissions, a
large number of papers demonstrated
