                            CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to invite you to submit your original contributions to 
the 15th
UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence, which will take place at the
University of Exeter, UK, on 7th-9th September 2015.

UKCI is the premier UK event for presenting leading research on all 
aspects of
computational intelligence. The aim of this workshop is to provide a 
forum for
the academic community and industry to share ideas about developing and 
using
computational intelligence techniques.


KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

We are pleased to announce that the workshop will feature the following 
keynote
speakers:

* Emma Hart, Edinburgh Napier University
* Magnus Rattray, University of Manchester
* Alberto Arribas, Met Office


PAPERS

All submissions will be peer-reviewed; accepted papers will be included
in the conference proceedings and indexed in IEEEXplore. Selected papers 
will
be considered for publication, following substantial extension, in a Special
Issue of the Soft Computing Journal (Springer). Topics of interest 
include (but
are not limited to):

* Machine learning, learning systems, biologically-inspired computing,
   neural networks;
* Evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, artificial immune systems,
   memetic computing;
* Computational intelligence for big data;
* Knowledge representation;
* Fuzzy logic, fuzzy systems, approximate reasoning;
* Software agents and multi-agent systems, intelligent control;
* Intelligent signal, image and video processing;
* New and emerging computational intelligence approaches from hybrid 
learning
   and systems, molecular and quantum computing;
* Applications of computational intelligence techniques in engineering,
   healthcare, finances, (cyber)security.


SPECIAL SESSIONS

The workshop will be held in conjunction with the Natural Computing
Applications Forum (NCAF).

Additional special sessions at the workshop are:

* From Genetic Programming to Genetic Improvement Programming: Standing 
on the
   Shoulders of Giants (John Woodward)
* Data Science and Heuristic Optimisation (Shahriar Asta and Ender Ozcan)
* Big Data and Computational Intelligence in Networking (BDCI-NET 2015) 
(Yulei
   Wu and Geyong Min)


IMPORTANT DATES

* Paper submission: *8th June 2015*.
   To expedite the reviewing process, titles and abstracts should be 
submitted
   by 1st June 2015
* Notification of paper acceptance: 6th July 2015
* Camera ready submission: 3rd August 2015


SUBMISSION

Submission is via EasyChair; details are available from the workshop
website (http://www.ukci2015.ex.ac.uk/).

The workshop will take place at the Innovation Centre, located on the
University of Exeter's Streatham Campus, a short walk from the city of
Exeter. The city offers excellent transport links, with easy access to 
the M5,
two mainline railway stations, an international airport and nearby 
continental
ferry links. Beyond the array of activities within the city, Exeter is 
close to
the Jurassic Coast, the English Riviera, as well as Dartmoor and Exmoor 
National
Parks. We look forward to welcoming you to Devon in 2015.
