IEEE WORLD CONGRESS ON
COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

WCCI 2018
July 8-13, 2018: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

CALL FOR PAPERS
The IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI) is the largest technical event in the field of
computational intelligence. The IEEE WCCI 2018 will host three conferences: The 2018 International Joint Conference
on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2018), the 2018 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2018),
and the 2018 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC 2018) under one roof. It encourages crossfertilization 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 Dates
IEEE WCCI 2018 will be held at the Windsor Barra Convention Centre, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Rio de Janeiro is a wonderful and cosmopolitan city, ideal for international meetings. Rio
boasts fantastic weather, savory cuisine, hospitable people, and modern infrastructure. Rio is
the first city to receive the Certificate of World Heritage for its Cultural Landscape, recently
conferred by UNESCO.
IJCNN is the flagship conference of the International Neural Network Society and the IEEE
Computational Intelligence Society. It covers a wide range of topics in the field of neural
networks, from biological neural network modeling to artificial neural computation.
FUZZ-IEEE is the foremost conference in the field of fuzzy systems. It covers all topics in
fuzzy systems, from theory to applications.
IEEE CEC is the leading event in the field of evolutionary computation, and covers all topics
in evolutionary computation from theory to applications.

Call for Papers

Call for Tutorials

Papers for IEEE WCCI 2018 should be submitted electronically using the
Congress website www.ieee-wcci.org and will be refereed by experts in
the fields and ranked based on the criteria of originality, significance,
quality and clarity.

IEEE WCCI 2018 will feature pre-Congress tutorials, covering
fundamental and advanced topics in computational intelligence. A
tutorial proposal should include title, outline, expected enrollment, and
presenter/organizer biography. Inquiries regarding tutorials should be
addressed to Tutorials Chairs.

Call for Special Session Proposals
IEEE WCCI 2018 solicits proposals for special sessions within the
technical scope 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 technical
disciplines and newly emerging research are strongly encouraged.
Inquiries regarding special sessions and proposals should be addressed
to Special Sessions Chairs.
