Computational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI 2016) will be held in Athens, Greece, a
city full of arts, philosophy and historical attractions. SSCI is a flagship
annual international conference on computational intelligence sponsored by the
IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, promoting all aspects of theory,
algorithm design, applications and related emerging techniques. As a tradition,
IEEE SSCI 2016 will co-locate a number of symposiums, each dedicated to a
special topic related to computational intelligence, thereby providing a unique
platform for promoting cross-fertilization. SSCI 2016 will be featured by
cross-symposium tutorials, keynote speeches, panel discussions, PhD
consortiums, oral presentations and poster sessions. Student grants, Best paper
Awards and Student Best Paper Award will be given.</span></p><div></div><p></p><p class="gmail-MsoNormal" style="line-height:13.3pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> Refer to the following conference

2016 IEEE Symposium on Neuromorphic Systems and Cyborg Intelligence (SNCI’16)
will be held in Athens, Greece, December 6 - 10, 2016, following the success of
the first international symposium held in Beijing and the second in Hangzhou
2014. SNCI’16 will be a part of the IEEE Symposium Series on Computational
Intelligence 2016. In recent years neuromorphic computing has been an important
emerging research area. There has been rapid progress in various computational
theories, learning algorithms, signal processing algorithm, circuit designs and
implementations, which have shown appealing computational advantages over
conventional approaches. Emulating the computational principles and
architecture found in neural systems, neuromorphic computing studies sensory
coding, synaptic computing, learning (e.g., STDP) and memory, and attempts to
develop neuromorphic sensors, processors, and sensory motor systems for robotic
agents. Neuromorphic systems overlap with another framework called cyborg
intelligence, combining brain functions with computational machines to achieve
the best of both via brain-machine interfaces. The symposium will provide an
important platform for the researchers across all related fields to exchange
the ideas and report recent progress, and aims to bring new theoretical and
technical advances in neuromorphic computing and cyborg intelligence.</span></p><div></div><p></p><p class="gmail-MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:center;line-height:17.3pt;background-image:initial;background-color:rgb(238,238,238);background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif;color:rgb(200,0,0);letter-spacing:3.75pt">Scope and
