IEEE SSCI 2013 was very
fortunate to have so many top
quality panel, keynote and tutorial speakers. The panel session on
"Future Research and Funding
Challenges for Computational
Intelligence" took place on 16th
of April from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30
p.m. Over 50 keynote and tutorial talks were held in two rooms
on all four days. These sessions
