Association of Financial Engineers
The IEEE/IAFE CIFEr Conference is the second annual collaboration between
the professional engineering and financial communities, and is one of the
leading forums for new technologies and applications in the intersection of
computational intelligence and financial engineering. Intelligent
computational systems have become indispensable in virtually all financial
applications, from portfolio selection to proprietary trading to risk
management. Topics in which papers, panel sessions, and tutorial proposals
are invited include, but are not limited to, the following:
CONFERENCE TOPICS

> Financial Engineering Applications:
Trading Systems
Forecasting
Hedging Strategies
Risk Management
Pricing of Structured Securities
Systemic Risk
Asset Allocation
Exotic Options
> Computer & Engineering Applications & Models:
Neural Networks
Probabilistic Reasoning
Fuzzy Systems and Rough Sets
Stochastic Processes
Dynamic Optimization
Time Series Analysis
Non-linear Dynamics
Evolutionary Computation
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS, PANEL PROPOSALS, SPECIAL SESSIONS, TUTORIALS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All summaries and proposals for tutorials, panels and special sessions must
be received by the conference Secretariat at Meeting Management by December
1, 1995. Our intentions are to publish a book with the best selection of
papers accepted.
AUTHORS (FOR CONFERENCE ORAL SESSIONS)
--------------------------------------
One copy of the Extended Summary (not exceeding four pages of 8.5 inch by
11 inch size) must be received by Meeting Management by December 1, 1995.
Centered at the top of the first page should be the paper's complete title,
author name(s), affiliation(s), and mailing addresses(es). Fonts no
smaller than 10 pt should be used. Papers must report original work that
has not been published previously, and is not under consideration for
publication elsewhere. In the letter accompanying the submission, the
following information should be included:
* Topic(s)
* Full title of paper
* Corresponding Author's name
* Mailing address
* Telephone and fax
* E-mail (if available)
* Presenter (If different from corresponding author, please
provide name, mailing address, etc.)
Authors will be notified of acceptance of the Extended Summary by January
10, 1996. Complete papers (up to a maximum of seven 8.5 inch by 11 inch
pages) will be due by February 9, 1996, and will be published in the
conference proceedings.
SPECIAL SESSIONS
----------------
A limited number of special sessions will address subjects within the
topical scope of the conference. Each special session will consist of from
four to six papers on a specific topic. Proposals for special sessions
will be submitted by the session organizer and should include:
* Topic(s)
* Title of Special Session
* Name, address, phone, fax, and email of the Session Organizer
* List of paper titles with authors' names and addresses
* One page of summaries of all papers
Notification of acceptance of special session proposals will be on January
10, 1995. If a proposal for a special session is accepted, the authors
will be required to submit a camera ready copy of their paper for the
conference proceedings by February 9, 1996.
PANEL PROPOSALS
---------------
Proposals for panels addressing topics within the technical scope of the
conference will be considered. Panel organizers should describe, in two
pages or less, the objective of the panel and the topic(s) to be addressed.
Panel sessions should be interactive with panel members and the audience
and should not be a sequence of paper presentations by the panel members.
The participants in the panel should be identified. No papers will be
published from panel activities. Notification of acceptance of panel
session proposals will be on January 10, 1996.
TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
------------------
Proposals for tutorials addressing subjects within the topical scope of the
conference will be considered. Proposals for tutorials should describe, in
two pages or less, the objective of the panel and the topic(s) to be
addressed. A detailed syllabus of the course contents should also be
included. Most tutorials will be four hours, although proposals for longer
tutorials will also be considered. Notification of acceptance of tutorial
proposals will be on January 10, 1996.
EXHIBIT INFORMATION
-------------------
Businesses with activities related to financial engineering, including
software & hardware vendors, publishers and academic institutions, are
invited to participate in CIFEr's exhibits. Further information about the
exhibits can be obtained from the CIFEr-secretariat, Barbara Klemm.
SPONSORS
--------
Sponsorship for the CIFEr Conference is being provided by the IAFE
(International Association of Financial Engineers) and the IEEE Neural
Networks Council. The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers) is the world's largest engineering and computer science
professional non-profit association and sponsors hundreds of technical
conferences and publications annually. The IAFE is a professional
non-profit financial association with members worldwide specializing in new
financial product design, derivative structures, risk management
strategies, arbitrage techniques, and application of computational
techniques to finance.
Early registration is $400 for IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers, Neural Networks Council) and IAFE (International Association of
Financial Engineers) members. For details contact Barbara Klemm at Meeting
Management.
