The ebb and flow of these CI techniques closely tracks the technology cycles. CI techniques such as evolutionary techniques, swarm intelligence, artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy logic were mere research topics for decades before suitable computing hardware is available for their use in a broad spectrum of industrial and consumer applications. Recent computing hardware and sensor technologies have also fast-tracked the research and development of many emerging CI techniques. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Held annually in IEEE Region 10 since 1980, TENCON has been an important multi-disciplinary platform of IEEE Region 10 for sharing and discussing new and emerging ideas. The theme for TENCON 2016 is Future Technologies for Smart Nation. Therefore, this TENCON'16 Special Session on Computational Intelligence Techniques and Applications for Smart Nation invites all researchers to submit papers on their use of CI techniques for enabling Smart Nation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>##################Important Date##################<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- Open for Submission March 1st, 2016<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- Submission Deadline June, 20th, 2016<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- Notice of Acceptance August 1st, 2016<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- Final Manuscript Submission September 10th, 2016<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>##################################################<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>##################Topics and Areas of Interest##################<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This special session solicits papers addressing original works in topics and areas of interest including, but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- Fundamental CI Methodologies<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Deep learning techniques<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Reinforcement learning techniques<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Supervised learning techniques<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Unsupervised learning techniques<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Evolutionary computing techniques<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Artificial Neural Networks<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Swarm Intelligence<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Graphical Models<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Bayesian Statistics<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- CI in Real-World Applications<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Time Series Prediction<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Sensor Networks<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Recommender Systems<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Robotic Systems<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Intelligent Transportation System<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Big Data for Smart Nation<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Pattern Recognition<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Computer Vision and Image Understanding<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Intelligent Control Systems<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>################################################################ <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>############Paper Submission and Publication############<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- The best papers will be selected from the contributed papers for awards.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- The presented papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore which is indexed by major databases. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- Full papers can have up to four pages in double-column IEEE Conference format.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- At least one author of an accepted submission to the conference should register with a regular fee to present their work at the conference.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- Any enquiry on the submission of papers can be made to Teck-Hou Teng at thteng@smu.edu.sg<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>########################################################<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>##################Organizing Committee##################<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- Teck-Hou Teng, Singapore Management University<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- Justin Dauwels, Nanyang Technological University<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- Erdal Kayacan, Nanyang Technological University<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>########################################################<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
